What Kinds of Florida Car Accidents Cause the Worst Injuries?

The most frequent type of car accident situation is, unquestioningly, the rear-end collision. This kind of accident occurs when one vehicle follows another too closely and, for one of many reasons, the leading vehicle brakes unexpectedly, causing the following vehicle to collide with its back end. When these accidents happen, the most common injury sustained by the occupants in the front vehicle is whiplash. Under most circumstances, the driver of the following vehicle is determined to be the one liable for the crash.

After rear-end collisions, the most common sorts of car accidents fall under one of the categories listed below.

Left-Turn Accidents

What Kinds of Florida Car Accidents Cause the Worst Injuries?

Accidents occur most frequently in intersections or anywhere multiple vehicles cross paths. The most common instance of this is a left turn accident, which takes place when a motorist makes a left turn into the path of a vehicle traveling straight through the intersection. 

Typical damages for the victims involved in this kind of accident include trauma to the ribs, chest, and abdomen, facial injuries caused by deployed airbags, and broken or fractured bones if the impact was powerful enough and not outfitted with side airbags.  

Head-On Collisions

Head-on accidents occur when two automobiles traveling in opposite directions crash into one another and the front-end of one makes contact with the front-end of the other. This typically happens when one or both drivers drift out of their lane. 

Head-on collisions usually result in critical injuries and can also be fatal, particularly since the cars involved in these accidents are usually traveling at high rates of speed.

Side-Impact Collisions

This style of car accident is also referred to as a broadside or T-bone collision. This is due to the fact that the front-end of one vehicle crashes into the side of another, oftentimes at or about a 90-degree angle. Left-turn accidents are a leading cause of side-impact accidents. Most side-impact crashes are the result of driver inattention and/or speeding. Both of these behaviors are driving infractions that greatly increase your odds of being involved in a serious or fatal car accident.
