At Kohan & Bablove, we represent clients that have been injured in a wreck.  Typically, car accident common types include being side-swiped, rear-ended or hit in a head-on collision.  All of these can be devastating and result in serious injuries.

Side Collisions

Also referred to as being side swiped or getting t-boned, side impact collisions are the second most often reported car accident common types, accounting for 27 percent of all car crashes. The challenge with side impact collisions is that they can result in significant injuries.

The sides of cars are not as strong as the front or back and you are only inches away from the door with nothing in between you.  If you have been in a crash like this recently, there is a good chance that you will have major injuries and need extensive medical care.

Rear Collisions

These often occur due to distracted driving.  By simply reaching for your phone or grabbing your lipstick, you can lose track of what’s going on in traffic around you. All it takes is that split second of inattention for an accident to occur. Statistically, this is one of the most common types of car accidents, accounting for 29 percent of all wrecks.

Head-On Collision

Fortunately, these crashes happen less frequently since head-on collisions often result in serious injuries and even death.  These accidents tend to occur when visibility is terrible, or one or both of the drivers are intoxicated.

More Common Types of Car Accidents

Beyond accidents involving two cars there are a number of other ways to get into a wreck.  These include natural factors like ice on the road, something falling and hitting your vehicle, your car being hit while parked, and hitting debris like a pothole.

While it may not be clear immediately, in some of these situations you could have a legal claim.  For example, if the roads were not being properly maintained and that caused you to get into a wreck, you could have a claim against the agency responsible.  This will depend on what the exact road conditions were that caused your wreck.

Similarly, if your car was hit by a falling object, the owner of it could be responsible for the damage to your vehicle and any injuries you suffered.  Finally, if you were hit while parked, that driver should be held financially responsible for the damage and your injuries.

Car Accident Common Types of Injuries

Injuries may include neck and back injuries, whiplash, soft tissue damage, broken bones, sprains, cuts, bruises, internal bleeding, brain injuries and more.  Many of these will not manifest immediately, making it important to visit the doctor and have a full examination.

When to Call an Attorney

We recommend that you call a car accident lawyer right away because there is a statute of limitations in California, regardless of the car accident common types.  This means that you must file your lawsuit within two years of the accident.  If you miss this deadline, you will be unable to file and could miss out on the opportunity to collect financial damages.
