WHAT IS A T-BONE ACCIDENT?

A T-bone accident, also known as a T-bone collision, side-impact crash, or broadside crash, occurs when one vehicle collides head-on into the side of another vehicle, forming a T-shaped impact.

NEW YORK T-BONE ACCIDENT LAWS

Statute Of Limitations

As per the statute of limitations in New York, you have a three-year window to file a personal injury claim following a T-bone collision. Failing to meet this deadline may result in the loss of your eligibility to file a claim.

If you intend to file a claim against a municipality or government agency, you must submit a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident and file the claim no later than one year and ninety days after the accident.

No-Fault Law

Under the New York No-Fault Law, irrespective of fault, any party involved in the accident is entitled to receive coverage of up to $50,000 for medical expenses, lost income, and other injury-related costs.

Comparative Negligence

New York follows the Comparative Negligence Law, which means that the damages you can seek may be reduced by your own share of fault, regardless of how liability is apportioned in a T-bone accident.

WHO IS LIABLE FOR T-BONE CAR ACCIDENTS IN NEW YORK?

While the driver who struck your vehicle is typically considered the primary party at fault in a T-bone accident, liability may extend to other entities such as car manufacturers, government agencies responsible for road maintenance or traffic signals, and other relevant parties.

COMPENSATION FOR T-BONE ACCIDENT INJURIES IN NEW YORK

If you have been involved in a T-bone collision and have suffered injuries and damages, your insurance company will utilize your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance coverage to address medical expenses, lost wages, and other associated costs, such as transportation for treatment or in-house assistance, once you file a claim.

However, you may be eligible to file a claim against the at-fault party if:

  • Your PIP coverage is inadequate to cover your medical expenses.

  • You do not have PIP coverage.

  • You are not covered by a family member's auto insurance.

  • You seek compensation for additional types of damages.

Pain And Suffering

To seek compensation for the pain and suffering resulting from your injuries, you can initiate a claim or lawsuit against the driver responsible for the T-bone accident.

Property Damage

In the event of property damage caused by the accident, you can file a claim against the party or parties accountable for the crash.

Wrongful Death

If you have tragically lost a loved one in an accident, you have the right to pursue compensation for wrongful death.
