Side Swipe Auto Accidents By Chanfrau & Chanfrau on July 01, 2013

Daytona Beach Side Swipe AccidentsSome of the most serious car accidents are side swipe accidents, in which one car collides into another car moving in the same direction from the side. These types of accidents commonly occur because one driver attempts a lane change without properly checking to see whether it’s safe to do so, but can also occur due to a driver:

  • Operating his or her vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Driving while fatigued
  • Using a cell phone or some other form of technology
  • Texting
  • Simply not paying adequate attention to the road and drifting out of his or her lane

Whatever the cause of the side swipe accident, the resulting injuries can be severe. While most modern cars provide adequate protection in the event of head-on and rear-end collisions, many afford little protection in side swipe accidents. If you or a member of your family has been injured in a side swipe accident, the personal injury lawyers of Chanfrau & Chanfrau can help.

Consequences of Side Swipe Accidents

In addition to the impact of the collision itself, the occupants of the vehicle that is struck in a side swipe accident are put at risk of being forced into a collision with another vehicle, a tree, a guard rail, or a fixture alongside the road. Especially in fast-moving traffic, such as that which is common on freeways and highways, the consequences of side swipe accidents can be devastating.

Common injuries resulting from side swipe accidents include:

  • Brain, neck, and spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Lacerations
  • Internal bleeding
  • Wrongful death
