After any motor vehicle accident there is the possibility of injuries. In right-angle T-bone accidents or other broadside collisions, injuries can be serious and require extensive treatment or even lead to death due to the limited protection that most cars offer. Some of the most common injuries include:

• Brain injuries (TBI) and concussions: Brain injuries may not be recognized right away. They can often show up long after an accident, which is why it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.
• Broken bones: These types of car accidents often lead to broken bones due to the limited protection that the sides of vehicles provide. Depending on the speed in which you were struck, a bone injury or multiple bone injuries can occur and can be very serious.
• Wrongful death: Wrongful death is also a possibility when evaluating side-impact collisions and should be handled by an experienced attorney.
• Lacerations or puncture wounds: These can occur because of broken glass or other parts of the vehicle giving way to the impact.
• Internal injuries: Internal injuries are also common in side-impact crashes and can cause significant problems. The liver and kidneys are the most common organs to be impacted, however, any organ that has been damaged can cause internal bleeding.
• Neck and spinal damage, including whiplash: Most people think of head-on or rear-end collisions when they think of whiplash, but side-impact accidents can also cause neck injuries and whiplash as the head is thrust side-to-side.
