Side-Impact Collision Accidents

There are two types of accidents that involve impacts to the side of a vehicle – broadside accidents (another vehicle crashes head-first or rear-first into a car) and T-bone collisions (the crash impact resembles a T or right angle). According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), side-impact vehicle crashes accounted for 23% of passenger occupant deaths in 2018.
