T-bone crashes, also called side-impact collisions, happen at intersections when one driver enters without the right of way. A driver may run a red light, ignore a stop sign, or turn left across traffic that has the legal right to proceed.
Because these crashes often occur at a controlled intersection, the question of fault is usually determined by who had the right of way at the moment of impact.
Nevada law requires drivers to obey traffic signals and yield appropriately at intersections. When a driver violates those rules, it can become important evidence in determining responsibility for the crash.

Side-impact crashes are often more dangerous than people expect because there is less space between the point of impact and the people inside the vehicle. Unlike the front and rear of a car, the sides offer far less protection when another vehicle strikes them directly.
As a result, much of the crash force is transferred to the occupants, especially those sitting closest to the impact. Even at relatively low or moderate speeds, T-bone collisions can cause serious injuries and significant vehicle damage.
Many T-bone cases come down to a simple question: who had the right of way? When drivers tell different stories, the answer usually comes from the evidence, not the opinions of the people involved.
We gather police reports, traffic camera footage, surveillance video from nearby businesses, and witness statements to build a clear timeline of what happened at the intersection.
If additional analysis is needed, accident reconstruction experts can help show how the crash occurred. The goal is to move beyond conflicting accounts and establish the facts as clearly as possible.
Intersection crashes often become disputes over fault, especially when both drivers insist they had the right of way. An attorney can gather the evidence needed to sort out what happened and prevent the blame from being shifted unfairly onto you.
We build the case, document your injuries and losses, and handle the insurance company throughout the process. That allows you to focus on recovery while your claim moves forward.
If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we are prepared to take the case further. For the full picture of how we handle crash claims across the valley, you can also talk to our Las Vegas car accident lawyer team.

Nevada traffic safety data shows that 573 people were killed in intersection-related crashes between 2019 and 2023, accounting for approximately 37% of all traffic fatalities statewide during that period.
State reports also found that 91% of fatal intersection crashes occurred on urban roads, where traffic volume and conflict points are highest.
These numbers matter because T-bone crashes almost always happen at intersections.
Every claim starts with a free consultation, where the accident, injuries, and available evidence are reviewed. From there, the focus shifts to investigation and evidence gathering, including crash reports, witness statements, photos, and any other information that helps establish what happened.
As treatment continues, your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and other losses are documented. Once the full extent of your damages is understood, a demand is presented to the insurance company, and settlement negotiations begin.
Many cases resolve through settlement, but if a fair agreement cannot be reached, the next step may be litigation and trial.
The experience of our attorneys ranges from insurance and commercial law to personal injury and other areas which give our team an unmatched ability to reach a favorable outcome in your case. We handle each matter with accountability and responsiveness, as if we were representing ourselves.
Usually the driver who entered the intersection without the right of way, whether by running a red light, ignoring a stop sign, or making an unsafe left turn.
That happens often. Camera footage, witness statements, and other evidence can help determine who actually had the right of way. You may still recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault.
In most cases, Nevada gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit.
They can be. The struck side of a vehicle has little protection, so side-impact crashes often cause significant injuries even at lower speeds.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, no fee unless we win. The consultation is free.
