Side Impact Accidents
San Bernardino Side Impact Accident Attorneys
With Southern California’s growing population and active lifestyles, our roadways have become much busier than ever before. This increase in traffic, combined with the modern distractions a motorist faces while behind the wheel (i.e., texting, mobile phones, eating on the run), has heightened the risk of becoming involved in an automobile accident. Many of these Side Impact Accidents are occurring at busy intersections, and are often referred to as:
- Side Impact Accidents
- Right Angle Crashes
- T-Bone Collisions
