Types Of Side Impact Collisions

There are two major categories of side impact collisions: sideswipes and broadside, or better known as side impact collisions. Sideswipe crashes often occur when two cars are traveling in the same direction and the driver’s side of one vehicle collides with the passenger’s side of the other vehicle. These incidents often occur because of the following reasons:

  • Improper lane changes or problems with blind spots;
  • Improper merging behaviors;
  • Drifting into another lane due to distracted, fatigued, or impaired driving; and/or
  • Failing to properly yield, especially on turns.

Broadside collisions, also called “T-bone” or right angle collisions, happen when the front of one vehicle hits the side of a different vehicle. This form of auto accident commonly happens when two vehicles, perpendicular to one another, enter into an intersection at the exact same time. Commonly, one of the cars causes a broadside collision because they ran a red light, stop sign, or failed to yield or otherwise failed to follow the right-of-way rules. If you are involved in one of these types of accidents, an attorney can help you to identify who is at fault and to hold them accountable.
