Understanding T-Bone Accident Cases

Common Causes

In Laredo, t-bone accident cases often trace back to conditions on I-35 (southern terminus) and near I-35 corridor and its southern terminus near the international bridges. Local drivers and pedestrians encounter these specific risks when navigating these corridors.

  • Running red lights or failing to stop at intersections
  • Failure to yield when making a left turn
  • Disregarding stop signs at four way intersections
  • Misjudging the speed of oncoming traffic
  • Blocked intersection visibility from parked vehicles or vegetation
  • Malfunctioning traffic signals

Typical Injuries

Accident victims in Laredo are typically transported to trauma centers including Laredo Medical Center. The following injuries are common outcomes of these incidents.

  • Broken ribs and pelvis from side door intrusion
  • Traumatic brain injuries from side window impact
  • Hip fractures and dislocations
  • Spleen, liver, and kidney injuries on the impact side
  • Shoulder and arm fractures
  • Spinal injuries from lateral force

Establishing Liability

For t-bone accident claims filed in Webb, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific Laredo locations, including I-35 corridor and its southern terminus near the international bridges.

T bone accidents typically occur at intersections, and liability turns on which driver had the right of way. Traffic camera footage, witness testimony, and traffic signal timing records are important evidence in establishing which driver violated the right of way. The side of a vehicle offers far less protection than the front or rear, making injuries in T bone collisions disproportionately severe even at moderate speeds.

Relevant Texas Law

Residents of Laredo pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.

Texas Transportation Code Section 544.007 establishes the meaning of traffic control signals that govern intersection right of way. Texas Transportation Code Section 545.151 further defines right of way at intersections without signals. Failure to obey a traffic control device constitutes negligence per se under Texas law, making it easier to establish liability when a driver runs a red light or stop sign.
