Although newer models of cars now offer side airbags, most vehicles offer very little side impact protection. When people are in rear-end or front-end collisions, they have the benefit of airbags, the hood, the trunk, bumpers, and the vehicle’s steel frame to serve as buffers from the impact of a fast-moving vehicle. However, when another vehicle strikes the side of a car, the occupants of the struck vehicle often have nothing to shield them other than the car’s door. Consequently, people involved in side-impact crashes are at an elevated risk of experiencing life-altering or fatal injuries. If the vehicle that strikes them is larger, such as a commercial truck or bus, the chances of severe harm occurring are even greater.
T-bone wrecks in Bakersfield can cause a wide variety of physical impairments, including:
In addition to physical injuries, survivors of t-bone wrecks also often face debilitating emotional pain. They might need extensive counseling to help them cope with their trauma. Doctors’ visits, physical therapy, and rehabilitation are usually necessary after a t-bone crash. While someone works on their recovery, they might not be able to return to their work. The lack of a steady paycheck combined with mounting medical bills could lead to immense financial struggles. Fortunately, a dedicated legal team could aggressively fight for fair compensation for all of an injured motorist’s losses. In the sad event of a loss of life, our compassionate legal team could help a grieving family move forward by pursuing just compensation in a wrongful death claim.
Our seasoned local lawyers could use their practical skills and legal knowledge to search for evidence proving that the other driver was at fault for the crash. They could carefully comb through all available evidence, including police reports, medical records, and traffic camera video or photographs to search for proof. They could skillfully interview bystanders to see what they observed about the accident and the driver’s behavior leading up to the crash. They could visit the crash scene and look for markers, such as skid marks. They could also work closely with an accident reconstruction specialist to get a clear understanding of how the crash happened.
After a successful claim for a side-impact wreck in Bakersfield, an injured person could receive compensation for property damage, past and future medical bills, lost wages and a diminished working capacity, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and a loss of enjoyment of life.
