Intersection accidents are some of the most violent and legally contested crashes in New York City.

We build cases that prove fault and force results.

INJURED IN A T-BONE OR INTERSECTION ACCIDENT IN NYC? FAULT IS EVERYTHING
Intersection crashes are not simple.
Unlike rear-end accidents, liability is often contested from the start. Both drivers may claim they had the right-of-way. Both insurance companies may deny responsibility.
That is not a coincidence.
It is strategy.
What you are up against:
- Competing insurance narratives
- Disputed traffic signals
- Blame-shifting between drivers
- Lack of immediate evidence
If fault is not clearly established, your compensation is at risk.
Call now before the insurance company rewrites what happened.
What Causes Intersection and T-Bone Accidents in New York City
Most intersection accidents are the result of clear traffic violations.
Common causes include:
- Failure to yield the right-of-way
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Improper left turns
- Distracted driving
- Speeding through intersections
These are not accidents.
They are violations of New York law.
Why Intersection Accidents Are More Dangerous
Side-impact collisions—commonly known as T-bone accidents—are among the most dangerous crashes on the road.
Unlike front or rear impacts, there is significantly less protection on the side of a vehicle.
Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Pelvic and rib fractures
- Spinal injuries
- Shoulder and hip injuries
These cases often involve serious, long-term consequences and require aggressive legal representation.
Who Is at Fault in a NYC Intersection Accident?
Fault in an intersection accident is determined by who violated the right-of-way.
Common liable parties:
- Drivers who ran red lights
- Drivers who failed to yield
- Drivers making improper left turns
However, insurance companies will rarely accept fault without a fight.
Common defense arguments:
- “You had the red light”
- “You entered the intersection too late”
- “You were speeding”
These arguments are designed to create doubt and reduce your recovery.
Fault is not given. It is proven.

Insurance Company Tactics in T-Bone Accident Cases
Insurance companies thrive on confusion in intersection cases.
They will attempt to:
- Blame both drivers
- Dispute right-of-way
- Downplay your injuries
- Use lack of video evidence against you
- Pressure you into a quick settlement
This is not about fairness.
This is about minimizing payouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is at fault in a T-bone accident in NYC?

What if both drivers say they had the green light?
Evidence such as traffic cameras, witnesses, and accident reconstruction becomes critical.
Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes. New York follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover compensation.
Are intersection accidents more serious than other crashes?
Yes. Side-impact collisions often result in more severe injuries.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
Generally 3 years, but shorter deadlines apply if a government vehicle is involved.
