Cars have become indispensable aspects of our daily lives, but driving also opens us up to life-changing injuries. Personal injury lawyers in Tamarac, FL, deal with injuries stemming from many different types of accidents, but three types of motor vehicle crashes account for some of the most serious injuries.
Rollover Accidents
These types of accidents are often single-vehicle events, occurring most frequently when drivers in larger cars or trucks try to perform last-minute maneuvers or need to react to an unexpected emergency. Sedans are less likely to be involved in rollover accidents than SUVs or larger vehicles because they have a lower center of gravity.
Side-Impact Collisions
Commonly referred to as “T-bone” accidents, these crashes are caused when one car impacts another vehicle’s side. The nature of side-impact collisions puts passengers and drivers at risk, and they most commonly occur in parking lots and at intersections.
Head-On Collisions
When the front ends of two cars collide, the results can be disastrous. These are typically the most serious type of automobile accidents. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, head-on collisions have a fatality rate of nearly 60%.
The injuries associated with these types of accidents can range from whiplash and fractured bones to spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs and serious brain and head injuries.
