Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I witness or am involved in an intersection crash?
Call 911, stay at the scene if it's safe to do so, and avoid moving vehicles unless there's a fire or other immediate danger. Let responding officers document the scene before anything is moved.
What injuries commonly result from T-bone or side-impact crashes?
Side-impact collisions usually cause injuries to the head, neck, ribs, and pelvis, since there's less structure between the occupant and the point of impact compared to a front-end crash.
How does speed affect the severity of an intersection collision?
Higher speed at impact means more force transferred to both vehicles and their occupants. Even modest increases in speed can turn a survivable crash into a serious one, particularly in side-impact collisions where there's less car to absorb the hit.
What to Do After a T-Bone Crash in Buffalo, NY
If you're involved in an intersection crash, get checked out by a medical provider even if you feel fine at first. Adrenaline can mask pain from injuries that show up hours or days later. Keep copies of any police report, photograph the scene and vehicle damage if you're able, and gather contact information from anyone who saw what happened. Report the crash to your insurance company promptly, and keep a written timeline of your symptoms and any medical visits that follow.
