Deadly T-bone Collisions in Texas

When a vehicle crashes directly into the side of another car, safety functions will not work as intended. This is one reason why side impact or t-bone-style crashes can be quite severe. The most recent year reported 5,866 deadly crashes involving t-bone collisions, according to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). An estimated 25 percent of deadly collisions are side impacts. Passengers are more likely to suffer severe injuries in these accidents due to the point of impact. In fact, nearly 62 percent of 39,096 people killed in car crashes are passengers. An estimated five deaths per million are t-bone crashes, and you need to be ready to take the necessary legal action to pursue compensation after a deadly accident.
