A T-bone accident is a side-collision accident in which the front end of one car collides with the side of another. These types of accidents are common in Florida and are particularly dangerous to passengers, as most cars have no protective equipment to protect a person from a side impact. Front airbags have been shown to provide significant protection in head-on collisions, but with a side collision, even if the airbag deploys, the bodies of the occupants will be whipped sideways rather than forward, causing severe twisting of bones and ligaments and often smashing heads into the side windows.
Side collisions are the cause of some of the most serious accident injuries for everyone in the vehicle, often proving to be life-altering or even fatal.
