Types of Auto Accidents

Our law firm has handled thousands of auto accident injury claims, many resulting from:

• A head-on-collision is where the front ends of two vehicles collide. These resulting accidents are often fatal, since both vehicles were probably going very fast towards each other, increasing the impact.
• A rear-end-collision is very common, and occurs when one vehicle’s front end collides with the rear-end of another vehicle. This may be caused by the rear car following the other car too closely, speeding, faulty brake lights, sudden deceleration, following a car that does not have enough time to brake, the rear car driving faster than the front car, or other causes. Injuries to occupants are usually greater to the vehicle being rear-ended, often causing whiplash among other injuries.


• Side collisions occur when one car pummels into the side of another car. This type of accident is most frequent at intersections and parking lots. If both cars are traveling at a relatively fast speed, this type of accident may case one or both cars to flip over, causing further injuries to the occupants of the assaulted vehicle, pedestrians, or other objects. Side collisions also occur in passing lanes, where two cars brush alongside each other. These cases are less-likely to flip vehicles, but may cause additional harm if traveling at high speeds on the freeway.


• A vehicle rollover occurs when a vehicle rolls over on its side or roof. Turning too sharply while moving too fast is the leading cause of rollover accidents. The higher the vehicle is from the ground, and the faster it goes, the more likely it is to topple. This kind of accident can be detrimental to the driver or passengers of the vehicle. Doors and windows may be blocked or jammed shut from the collision, making escape difficult.


• A single-vehicle collision occurs when only one vehicle is involved. The biggest cause us excessive speed, and this term is only applied when only the driver is injured. If pedestrians or passengers are hurt in the collision, then the accident is usually given a different title.


• Multi-vehicle collisions are also called pile-ups. These usually occur on highways, and can be fatal for many victims involved. These usually begin as just one vehicle having a problem, usually during harsh weather conditions. The cars behind the problematic car cannot stop or avoid the problem in time, and create a multi-vehicle collision. These accidents range from 3 to 100s of cars involved. These are disastrous situations, as a crumpled mass of cars makes escape difficult. These can further damage roadways, and possibly disable highways for days.


• Backup accidents are caused when a car drives in reverse into another vehicle.  Because these generally occur at lower speeds, damage and injury is minimal. Many truck accidents are caused by backing.
