Different Types of Car Crashes

While driving your car, you should always be aware of how you and other drivers could collide with each other. There are plenty of ways that you could get into accidents and get hurt in many different ways. Different types of accidents typically cause different injuries and damages, and some are inherently more dangerous than others.

However, any kind of car crash can yield serious or fatal injuries. Here are some of the most common types of auto wrecks that you might have experienced and led you to file a car accident claim:

Head-on. These types of collisions happen when two vehicles crash into each other head on, or with the front of both vehicles. These can be especially deadly since the front of the car is where the driver is, and the collision can cause drivers and passengers to go through the windshield or be hurt with the force of the engine.
Sideswipe. These accidents occur when one car sweeps along another. These mainly cause property damage most times because they harm the side that the vehicle strikes, but they can also cause physical damages to a driver or passenger who is on the side that is hit. Anyone else in the car can also be hurt by the force.
Rear-end. When the front of a vehicle collides with the back of other car, it’s considered a rear-end collision. These can cause injuries to all parties involved and can lead to a chain reaction of crashes potentially.
T-bone. In most wrecks in intersections, and in other scenarios, one car crashes head-on into the side of another car, making a T-shape, which is where it gets its name T-bone. These can be especially fatal for the driver or passenger who is on the side that the car crashes into because the door and window in between the other car and the person is thin and not very protective.
Hit and runs. Any one of these kinds of accidents could turn into a hit and run when the driver who crashes into another car flees the scene. This can make it harder to pin down the person at fault and hold them accountable for their actions.

All these different types of accidents can result in serious physical, emotional, and property damages to you and your vehicle. These can change your life and force you to need ample time to heal and recover. That’s where our lawyers come in.

Our Chandler, AZ car accident attorney is here to help you get you justice for what has happened to you. With our help, you’ll be able to find who was responsible and hold them accountable for your damages.

Arizona Fault Laws in Car Wrecks

When you decide to take legal action after an auto wreck, it’s important to know the laws regarding fault in Arizona. These laws will dictate how much you can recover in compensation when you might have shared fault in the accident. Ideally, you were not at fault in any way for what happened, and you can recover 100 percent of the damages you suffered.

Since Arizona follows comparative fault laws, you can still recover compensation if you’re considered partially at fault, your damages will just be reduced by the percentage you’re determined to be at fault for what happened. Even if you’re determined to be mostly at fault for what happened, in theory, you could still recover that small percentage of damages that you weren’t responsible for.

The pure comparative fault rules often lead to car insurance playing a large part in a claim. This is because both parties can be liable to pay damages to the other if they are both determined to be at fault. That’s why it’s important to have the minimum requirement for auto insurance in Arizona.

Here are the required minimums for liability coverage in our state:

$15,000 for one person for bodily injury or death
$30,000 for one accident for bodily injury or death
$10,000 for one accident for property damage

Having at least the minimum required auto insurance when you’re driving in Arizona can keep you feeling safe and covered if an accident should happen. Even still, you could use the help of our Chandler, AZ car accident lawyer so that you can recover what you’re owed. Insurance companies and other parties can be hard to deal with. We’ll be there to fight for you.

"Thank God we found him. He really seemed to care about our family."
Mr. Buckingham won our case after two other law firms said it would be impossible to win. He knew the medicine better than the experts in the case. I guess the fact that he’s also a doctor was a great help.

Former Client
"He truly was impressive."
Mr. Buckingham flew to the East Coast several times & understood how a correct gall bladder surgery is supposed to be done better than the surgeon. He was very knowledgeable & precise.

Former Client
"If you want real-life heroes contact these guys. They cared when no one else did."
When I first contacted Mr.Vega, I knew he was different because he listened to me with compassion. Mr. Vega and his team gave me hope and most important they gave my son a better life.

Former Client
"Adrian Vega and his law firm changed my family's life."
They fought for my injured baby and made sure we would be taken care of for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend this law firm.

Former Client
"My family is better off having them in our corner."
We turned to him when we had nowhere else to go. Turns out it was the best decision we could have ever made. They represented us in a difficult case and made those responsible accountable for their actions.

Former Client
"Nothing but the best of the best."
This was an experience I'll never forget and felt like family and not a business associate. Adrian kept me informed and up to date on all matters of the lawsuit. Needless to say, I received more ( much more ) than expected...

Former Client
"Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!"
I would highly recommend using Buckingham & Vega if you have been injured in an accident. Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!

Former Client
"Highly Recommend"
We had a great experience working with Adrian. He was very professional and guided my family through a difficult situation.
