What Is a T-Bone Collision and How Does it Happen?
A T-bone collision between a box truck and a passenger vehicle occurs when a box truck collides with the side of a passenger vehicle.
The risk of T-bone collision is increased when a truck driver doesn’t drive with the high level of care and caution that they are supposed to while operating their commercial vehicle. Often, when this type of collision occurs, it’s due to a truck driver being inattentive or driving recklessly. If a trucker drives his vehicle through a stop sign without stopping first or runs a red light, they can cause a T-bone collision.
Common T-Bone Collision Injuries
T-bone collisions can cause serious, devastating injuries. Some T-bone collision injuries may even be fatal. The impact to the side of vehicles in a collision of this type often occurs with great force due to the massive box trucks’ high rate of speed. Many passenger vehicle drivers and passengers involved in T-bone collisions are not well-protected from the force of the impact, especially if their vehicles aren’t equipped with side airbags or the airbags don’t deploy properly.
Some of the serious injuries that passenger vehicle drivers and passengers may sustain in a T-bone collision are:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Head injuries
- Brain injuries
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Loss of limb
- Organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Burns
- Lacerations
- Disfigurement
- Hearing and vision loss or impairment
Along with severe physical injuries, T-bone collision victims may suffer from debilitating mental health disorders. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and fears of cars, trucks, and driving are commonly experienced by accident victims in the aftermath of a T-bone collision.

How Can I Be Compensated for My Injuries?
When you pursue compensation for your injuries, you and your attorney will file a claim with the truck driver’s insurance company or with the trucking company’s insurance company, depending upon the circumstances. Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to get them to offer you full compensation for your injuries. Sometimes, these negotiations are successful. Other times, they aren’t. In the latter event, your attorney will file a lawsuit against the at-fault party to get you the compensation you deserve.
If we need to file a lawsuit on your behalf, we have to do so within a certain time frame. This is known as the statute of limitations. In Ohio, you have to file your lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident.
You may be eligible for damages for the following losses you incurred as a result of your injuries:
- Medical costs associated with your injuries
- Loss of income or wages
- Loss of future earning ability
- Emotional pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Decline in quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (personal relationships)
- Property damage
You may also be awarded exemplary damages if we have to litigate your claim in court. The purpose of exemplary damages is to punish the person responsible for harming you. This type of compensation is only awarded in rare circumstances. Check with your lawyer to see if an award of exemplary damages is possible in your case.
