Injured in a Fort Lauderdale Side Impact Crash? Get Help from Experienced Accident Lawyers

Side impact, or “t-bone,” crashes are the most dangerous type of car accident, often leading to devastating injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), side impact accidents result in more fatalities than any other type of car crash—even head-on collisions.

Why Side Impact Crashes Are So Severe

Unlike the front or rear of your vehicle, the side offers minimal protection in a collision. Just inches separate you from the force of another car, leaving you vulnerable. Even low-speed side impacts can cause:

  • Broken bones
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Head trauma
  • Internal injuries
  • Paralysis

Common Causes of Side Impact Accidents in Fort Lauderdale

Most side impact crashes happen at busy intersections throughout Fort Lauderdale, including Sunrise Boulevard, Broward Boulevard, and Federal Highway. Typical causes include:

Staying Safe: Vehicles with the Best Side Impact Protection

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recommends vehicles with advanced side impact safety features, such as:

  • Head-protecting curtain airbags
  • Torso-protecting side airbags
  • Three-point seatbelts
  • Electronic stability control

Top-rated models include Mazda, Subaru, Tesla, Lexus, and Hyundai.

After a Side Impact Accident: What to Do

  1. Seek immediate medical attention. Your health and recovery come first.
  2. Contact an experienced attorney. Intersection collisions are often denied by insurers. Proving the other driver was at fault requires witness statements, surveillance footage, and a proactive legal strategy.
  3. Document everything. Collect contact info for witnesses and take photos at the scene if possible.

    "Even when I was not able to get a physician to follow up with me for a broken bone following a car accident, the Maus firm, in particular Rocio, worked hard on my behalf and reached a good settlement for me. This was accomplished long distance, as the accident happened in Florida and I live in Indiana. They worked on my case for 3 years and did not give up."
