How Negligent Drivers Cause Los Angeles T-Bone Accidents
T-bone accidents involve one vehicle hitting another at a 90-degree angle or near-90-degree angle. This can include a near-side impact or a far-side impact. Near-side accidents are especially dangerous because there is very little protection in the door of a vehicle to slow the forces of another vehicle.
A negligent driver can cause a Los Angeles T-bone accident by:
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Failing to yield when making a turn or pulling out
- Making improper left turns, often at red lights
- Speeding faster than the posted limit or driving too fast for the current road conditions
T-bones are a type of side-impact collision. Side impacts were the second most deadly type of accident in 2018 for most crash types, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Only frontal accidents resulted in more deaths. The IIHS reported 5,350 fatal side-impact accidents in 2018, making up 23 percent of all traffic deaths in the United States.

Pursuing a Settlement or Award in Your Los Angeles Traffic Accident Case
California allows car accident victims to hold the at-fault motorists who caused their accidents accountable. The California Department of Insurance outlines the minimum bodily injury and property damage liability insurance required of all drivers. These policies make settlements possible in many cases.
At Pintas & Mullins Law Firm, we put a value on our clients’ cases and seek fair compensation. If we handle your T-bone accident case, we will fight to make sure you do not suffer additional damages because of an accident and injuries that were not your fault. We believe the driver who caused your accident—the defendant in your lawsuit—should pay for your care, car repairs, and more.
