Mesquite may be a stunning community to live in and visit, but there are times when intersections become dangerous, especially when others are not paying attention to what they are doing. T-bone accidents, also known as side-impact accidents, are some of the most dangerous vehicle collisions because of where and how they strike.
At H&P Law, we help victims to seek financial damages for the losses reckless drivers cause. By working with a Mesquite T-bone accident lawyer, you can have peace of mind that you will receive fair compensation. Our Mesquite car accident lawyers have recovered over $100 million for our clients.
Why T-Bone Accidents Happen in Mesquite
It is often the case that highway accidents along Interstate 15 get attention, but within the community, there are numerous areas where side-impact accidents are more likely, including along E. Mesquite Blvd, N. Sandhill Blvd, and the residential communities around E. Hafen Lane and S. Grapevine Rd. These accidents often occur in intersections, for several common reasons:
- Distracted driving. Drivers fail to observe changing signals or others in the intersection, entering when they do not have the legal right to do so.
- Poor visibility. In some situations, especially at night when limited street lights are present, this can cause a driver to fail to observe another.
- Failure to yield the right of way. This often occurs with left-hand turns, meaning the driver turning left strikes a driver with the right of way going forward.
- Running red lights and stop signs. Those few extra seconds saved by running a light can easily lead to fatalities.
- Impairment. Drivers who are too tired or under the influence of alcohol and drugs are more likely to cause these types of accidents.
After such an accident, call 911 immediately to request medical care and police presence. The police officer will document the evidence present to determine who is at fault and, in some cases, issue a citation. That is just the start of what happens next, so that you can recover damages fairly. Talk to our Mesquite personal injury lawyer now.
T-Bone Accidents Cause Serious Injuries and Losses
It is very common for these accidents to happen at high speeds, striking drivers right outside their doors. Passengers also face a serious risk of injury if vehicles collide with those doors. Serious injuries such as the following are common in T-bone accidents:
- Concussions, skull fractures, and other traumatic brain injuries
- Broken and crushed bones, especially when struck at a high rate of speed
- Internal injuries, including bleeding and organ damage
- Deep lacerations and wounds
- Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
- Nerve damage developing into chronic pain
- Amputations
- Burns from chemical or heat exposure
Individuals with serious injuries need legal guidance. Your losses are far more than your medical bills, but you may not easily be told that by the insurance company. As your lawyer, we will ensure you consider your current needs and potential future losses so you can fully heal or recover compensation for your ongoing injuries.

Why You Need an Attorney in a T-Bone Accident
In situations where you have no injuries that require medical attention or significant damage to your vehicle, filing a simple claim with the insurance company may be easy to do. However, in every situation where you received medical care, we strongly recommend hiring a Mesquite T-bone accident attorney to guide you. There are several reasons for this:
- Insurance companies will try to blame you. It is that simple. They will distort data, try to trick you into saying you caused the accident, or create other scenarios to deny your claims. We prevent that.
- Your injuries are severe. In these situations, you need serious monetary recovery of damages to help cover your current and future needs. Our legal team will make sure you do not settle for less than the at-fault party owes you.
- Your case could go to trial. Though rare, our courtroom-proven attorneys are always ready to pursue legal action in a court of law when insurance companies treat you unfairly. You do not have to settle.
With the guidance of our legal team, you know who owes you compensation, even if more than one party is involved, what your losses are, and how to prove them. Set up a free consultation. If you do not win your case with our help, you owe us nothing for our services. We encourage you to have a conversation with a lawyer before you speak to the insurance company.
Your Compensation in a T-Bone Accident
Victims of T-bone accidents caused by the carelessness of others have the right to pursue a claim against those at fault for any physical, emotional, and financial losses they have suffered. This process requires you to document your losses and their values. Some of the most common types of losses victims have in these accidents include:
- Medical expenses: Emergency medical care, including ambulance trips, hospitalizations, surgeries, and rehabilitation
- Future medical costs: Expectations for future surgeries, medications, therapies, and supplies
- Pain and suffering: Including suffering starting with the accident and moving forward throughout the recovery process
- Loss of income: Loss of wages you could not earn, bonuses you missed, and benefits you lost
- Loss of earning capacity: Changes in your ability to work at your current position, earning what you do
- Emotional trauma: Losses related to post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety
