Auto accidents happen every day—but when they’re caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have the right to pursue compensation. At Lotus Law Group, we represent individuals injured in a wide range of motor vehicle crashes. Below are some of the most common types of auto accidents that may support a legal claim.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end accidents are among the most frequent types of crashes. They often occur when a driver follows too closely, is distracted, or fails to brake in time. Even at low speeds, these collisions can cause serious injuries such as whiplash, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries. If another driver’s inattention caused the crash, you may be entitled to compensation.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on crashes are often severe and life-threatening. These accidents commonly result from distracted driving, drunk driving, or crossing the center line. Victims frequently suffer catastrophic injuries requiring extensive medical care. When negligence—such as texting while driving or impaired driving—is involved, the at-fault party can be held accountable.
T-Bone (Side-Impact) Accidents
Side-impact collisions, also known as T-bone accidents, typically happen at intersections. Drivers who run red lights, ignore stop signs, or fail to yield the right-of-way often cause these crashes. Because the sides of vehicles offer less protection than the front or rear, injuries can be serious, especially for passengers seated on the impacted side.
Multi-Vehicle Pileups
Accidents involving multiple vehicles are complex and can make determining liability more challenging. These crashes often occur on highways or in poor weather conditions. Our firm investigates thoroughly to identify all responsible parties and ensure our clients pursue the full compensation available under the law.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
When a driver leaves the scene of an accident, victims can feel frustrated and unsure of their options. Even if the at-fault driver is not immediately identified, you may still have a claim through your uninsured motorist coverage. We help clients explore every available path to recovery.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Crashes caused by intoxicated drivers are entirely preventable. If you were injured by someone driving under the influence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. In some cases, punitive damages may also apply.
Distracted Driving Accidents
Texting, adjusting GPS settings, eating, or using in-car technology can divert a driver’s attention from the road. Distracted driving is a leading cause of accidents nationwide. When a driver’s lack of attention causes injury, they can and should be held responsible.
