Texas T-Bone Accident Lawyer

Help After Side-Impact Crashes Across Texas

A T-bone accident—also called a side-impact or intersection crash—can cause serious injuries because the side of a vehicle provides less protection than the front or rear. These collisions often happen at higher speeds in intersections, where a single mistake can lead to devastating consequences.

If you were injured in a T-bone accident anywhere in Texas, Wayne Wright LLP can help you pursue compensation and hold the negligent driver accountable. We represent injured clients across Texas, including San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, and El Paso.

Why T-Bone Accidents Are So Dangerous

texas t-bone accident lawyers

Side-impact collisions can be severe because the point of impact is often close to the driver or passenger. Even with side airbags, victims can suffer serious injuries.

Common injuries from T-bone crashes include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Neck and back injuries, including herniated discs
  • Broken ribs and internal injuries
  • Pelvic and hip fractures
  • Shoulder and arm injuries
  • Knee and leg injuries
  • Permanent impairment or disability

These injuries can require long-term care and time away from work.

Common Causes of T-Bone Accidents in Texas

Most T-bone crashes happen when a driver fails to yield the right of way. Common causes include:

  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Unsafe left turns
  • Failure to yield at intersections
  • Speeding through crossings or yellow lights
  • Distracted driving (texting, phone use, navigation)
  • Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
  • Misjudging gaps in traffic
  • Poor visibility or failure to use headlights

Our team investigates the crash to determine exactly what happened and who is responsible.

Who Is at Fault in a T-Bone Collision?

In many cases, fault is tied to right-of-way rules. Liability may fall on the driver who:

  • Ran a red light or stop sign
  • Failed to yield while turning left
  • Entered an intersection unsafely
  • Was distracted, impaired, or speeding

However, insurance companies often dispute fault in intersection cases. We help build a strong claim using evidence such as:

  • Police reports and crash diagrams
  • Witness statements
  • Intersection camera footage or nearby surveillance video
  • Vehicle damage patterns
  • Cell phone or distracted driving evidence (when available)

T-Bone Crashes and Insurance Disputes

Intersection accidents frequently lead to “he said, she said” claims from insurance companies. They may argue:

  • The light was green for their driver
  • You were speeding
  • You “should have avoided” the crash
  • The impact wasn’t severe enough to cause your injuries

We push back with documented evidence, medical records, and a clear damages claim that reflects what you’ve actually been through.

Compensation After a T-Bone Accident in Texas

Depending on your case, compensation may include:

  • Emergency care, hospital bills, and follow-up treatment
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Future medical care and long-term treatment needs
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

If a side-impact crash results in a fatality, families may have options through a wrongful death claim.

What to Do After a T-Bone Accident

To protect your health and your claim:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately
  2. Call 911 and request a police report
  3. Photograph the vehicles, intersection, and any traffic signals/signs if possible
  4. Get witness names and contact information
  5. Avoid recorded statements to insurers before legal guidance

Evidence can disappear quickly—especially video footage—so acting fast matters.

texas personal injury experts
How long do I have to file a T-bone accident lawsuit in Texas?
In most cases, Texas law allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s best to speak with a lawyer early to preserve evidence.
Who is usually at fault in a T-bone crash?
Often the at-fault driver is the one who ran a red light or stop sign, or failed to yield the right of way. Fault can depend on the specific intersection and traffic signal timing.
What if the other driver says the light was green?
These cases often come down to evidence. Witnesses, traffic cameras, surveillance video, vehicle damage patterns, and police reports can help establish what happened.
Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are 50% or less responsible, you may still recover compensation, reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does it cost to hire a T-bone accident lawyer?
There are no upfront fees. You pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.
