More About T-bone Accident Injuries

But ignoring traffic laws are not the only grounds for establishing a driver’s negligence in a T-bone accident. Many drivers run a red light or make an ill-advised left turn because they are distracted. We all know people who text or use their cell phone while driving. Such practices are not just unsafe. They are also illegal in Nevada. Indeed, using any type of “wireless communications device” to send or receive text or non-voice messages while driving is against the law. A distracted driver is just as negligent as, say, a drunk driver.

And of course, drunk driving is also a significant factor in many T-bone accidents. Unlike a sober driver who simply runs a red light and may attempt to brake before impact–thus potentially lessening the impact–drunk drivers typically act with impunity. They are more likely to not only run a red light or dart into an intersection but to do so at speeds exceeding the posted speed limit. While DUI is prosecuted criminally in Nevada, it is equally important for the accident victims to assert their rights through a personal injury claim to recover civil damages.

Whatever the cause of your T-bone accident, at Naqvi Injury Law, we will get to the bottom of things. You may not realize it at the time, but car accidents involve a complex web of evidence, including police reports, physical damage at the scene, eyewitness statements, and even expert testimony to reconstruct the accident. Dealing with this amount of evidence can be overwhelming for a T-bone accident victim still struggling to recover from their injuries. We can take that burden off your shoulders.

T-bone Accident Injuries

As we noted earlier, T-bone accidents are not minor affairs. In many cases victims suffer fatal injuries. But even in non-fatal accidents, the survivors may face a lifetime of medical care due to a permanent disability. Some of the more common injuries we have seen in T-bone accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (concussions) and head wounds;
• Paralysis due to spinal cord injuries;
• Loss of limbs;
• Second- and third-degree burns, scarring, and disfigurement;
• Neck injuries, such as whiplash;
• Joint and bone injuries; and
• Muscle and ligament tears.

A personal injury lawsuit can seek not only compensation for your past and current medical expenses arising from a T-bone accident. You also have the right to projected future medical expenses. We can help you assess the total value of your potential claim and make sure the negligent driver–or their insurance company.
