What are the most deadly types of car accidents in Palm Beach?

Side impact crashes are among the most common, and most deadly of Palm Beach car accidents—second only to head on collisions. Side impact car crashes are credited with about 9,000 deaths every year. Roughly 26% of all fatal car accidents and about 31% of the non-fatal car crashes were the results of side impact collisions in the year 2004.

If you or your family members have been seriously injured due to a side impact car accident in Palm Beach, it is important to contact an experienced Palm Beach car accident attorney. They will ascertain the best course of action to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

What is a side impact, or “T-Bone” accident?

Side impact accidents occur when the front of a vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle. This is a very common type of accident that frequently happens at intersections or stop signs. It is usually due to one car failing to yield properly to another.

What Makes Side Impact Car Accidents in Palm Beach So Dangerous?

Side collisions are usually more fatal due to less protection for vehicle occupants on the sides than on the front or rear of the vehicle. Although sometimes the presence of side air bags can help, they may not be enough to prevent fatalities in a serious broadside crash.
