There are many different types of car accidents that a person could be involved in. Some are minor, such as fender benders, while others are quite serious and can lead to severe injuries. T-boned car accidents tend to be of a more serious nature. But what exactly is a T-boned car accident? What Does It Mean To Be T-Boned? A T-bone car accident, also known as a side-impact collision, occurs when one vehicle runs into another vehicle head-on into the side panels of the vehicle where the doors are found on either the driver or passenger side. In this type of accident, the two cars collide in a way that creates a T shape, hence the name T-boned. T-Boned At 30 MPH T-bone car accidents most frequently happen at intersections where one or sometimes both parties have entered the intersection illegally, and there isn’t enough time for the drivers to react and get out of each other’s way. In T-bone car accidents it is not...
What Is A Rollover Car Accident? A rollover car accident typically occurs when the vehicle involved in the accident strikes an object or other vehicle which causes it to lose control and affects the balance and stability of the vehicle causing it to tip over and roll. This is known as a tripping rollover accident. The other way that rollover car accidents occur is in a 'non-tripping' way. These types of accidents occur when the driver loses control of the vehicle and the car rolls due to driving off the road, turning too quickly, or avoiding an obstacle like a deer or other animal. Rollover car accidents can be end-over-end where the car flips bumper to bumper or they can barrel roll from driver to passenger side. No matter what type of rollover accident a person is part of the chances of sustaining a serious injury or being killed are higher than with other accident types. Although rollover accidents only account for 3% of car...
What Is A Left-Hand Car Accident? As the name suggests a left-turn car accident occurs when a person is attempting to make a left-hand turn typically at an intersection but it could be into their driveway or into a parking lot of some kind. The reason there are so many accidents involving people making left turns is that it puts the driver right into oncoming traffic to complete the turn. If there isn't enough time for them to complete the maneuver or the driver coming towards them disobeys a traffic law such as running a red light it can mean a serious accident and possibly severe injuries. It can be difficult to determine who is at fault when it comes to left-turn car accidents since the person who generally gets hit has entered the oncoming lane but it is not always that person's fault. If you have been injured in a left-turn car accident regardless of whether you were the person turning left or the...
Car accidents are terrible occurrences that can majorly impact a person's life. Depending on the type of car accident you are involved in you could be looking at anything from minor injuries to the tragic loss of life. One of the most severe types of car accidents is a head-on collision. What is a head-on collision? A head-on collision occurs when two vehicles moving in opposite directions run into each other. The forces that are created by two vehicles moving at high speed towards each other and then smashing into each other can have catastrophic consequences, usually causing severe injuries. What Causes Head-On Collisions? It would seem odd that two drivers that are moving in a forward direction wouldn't be able to see each other and get out of the way, especially compared to accidents like rear-ended, or T-bone accidents where one driver may not see the oncoming secondary vehicle in time to react. There are many reasons that two cars could end up in...

The Social Security disability process can be long and worrisome for a claimant. Fortunately, the Social Security Administration has provided six situations in which particular cases may be expedited. The Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) designates these particular cases as “critical” and requires a faster processing of these claims. The 6 categories that follow are the types of “critical” situations that may result in your case being expedited: 1.
