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.
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.

Austin's rapid growth has turned many of its roads and intersections into high-risk zones for car accidents. Data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows that certain corridors in Travis County consistently produce serious injury and fatal crashes year after year. Knowing where these danger zones are can help you stay safe and understand your rights if you are injured.

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
