Atlanta Car Crash Types

  • Head On Collisions: Head on collisions occur when the front ends of two vehicles hit each other. Among the most serious types of auto accidents; can result in catastrophic injuries, including spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
  • T-Bone Accidents: Also known as a side impact collision, this type of car accident occurs when one vehicle hits the side of another vehicle. Often occur at intersections when one driver runs through a red light or stop sign; hazardous for passengers as well as drivers, often resulting in back and hip injuries.
  • Rollover Accidents: Rollover accidents commonly occur when a driver turns too sharply while moving too quickly. Also caused by defective brakes or problems with the vehicle's steering system. Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are commonly involved in rollover accidents due to a higher center of gravity. Rollover accidents can result in head injury, paralysis, and fractures.
  • Lane Crossover Accidents: Lane crossover accidents occur when a driver fails to change lanes safely. If a driver fails to check his rear and side view mirrors, as well as blind spots, before changing lanes, tragic accidents can occur. Lane crossover accidents are particularly hazardous on highways. This type of automobile accident can also occur when a driver falls asleep at the wheel and drifts into another lane.
  • Rear End Collisions: When drivers fail to leave a safe distance between their vehicle and the car traveling in front of them, rear end collisions can occur. This type of accident takes place when the front bumper of one car collides with the back bumper of another car. One of the most common types of car accidents; often results in back injuries and whiplash for drivers and passengers.
