Broadside Accident Lawyers York PA

Broadside Accident Lawyers in York, PA

Experienced representation for victims of t-bone accidents in Central Pennsylvania

Broadside accidents are among the scariest car accidents on the road. In a broadside accident, the front of one car strikes the side of another car. The driver of the car whose front strikes the side of the other car is often at fault, but each case has its own set of facts.

At KBG Injury Law, we have 40 years of experience representing injured drivers and passengers when broadsides (also called T-bone accidents because the shape of the letter “T” indicates the position of the two cars) happen. Our York broadside/T-bone lawyers also represent families when broadsides are fatal. We demand full compensation for all your personal and financial damages.

How can we help?

How dangerous are T-bone accidents?

Broadside accidents often cause serious injuries and deaths because the occupants’ only protection of the car that is struck on the side is the door and any airbags. There’s no hood or trunk to absorb any of the impact. In many broadside accidents, both cars are moving, which increases the impact. Broadside accidents usually crush the door of the driver or a passenger and break the glass in the side windows.

What are the causes of broadside accidents in York, PA?

At KBG Injury Law, we work with the police, our own investigators, and traffic reconstruction experts through the formal discovery process (questions and answers of everyone with knowledge about the accident) to show the cause of your accident and who is responsible.

Our York broadside/T-bone accidents handle car accidents no matter the cause. Some of the reasons broadside accidents happen include:

  • A driver is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs
  • A driver is distracted
  • A driver fails to yield the right of way
  • A driver drives through a red light or a yellow light
  • A driver is tired
  • Speeding, aggressive driving, and other traffic violations
  • Wet and slippery roads
  • Construction accidents

Car Accident Questions

Where do broadside accidents happen in York, PA?

Many broadside accidents happen at intersections where one or both drivers are turning. Left-hand turns are especially problematic. The lack of clearly marked lanes and signs can contribute to broadside accidents at intersections.

Broadsides can also happen if a vehicle tries to enter a lane from a side street. Some broadsides may happen if a car spins out of control due to a truck cargo spill or slick roads.

Who do you hold accountable for broadside / T-bone accidents in Pennsylvania?

At KBG Injury Law, we file car accident claims against everyone responsible for your accident. The defendants may include:

  • The driver of the car whose side was struck may be responsible because they are in the wrong position, such as turning in front of an oncoming car.
  • The employer of the negligent driver.
  • The owner of the car driven by the negligent driver, if the owner and driver are different.
  • The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation or other state or local agencies or entities for improper road design or maintenance, such as unclear lane markings and signs in intersections.
  • A seller of alcohol to a driver whose intoxication is the cause of your accident.
  • A manufacturer of defective car parts, such as brakes or the steering mechanism.
