What Is a T-Bone Truck Accident?
T-bone collisions—also called side-impact crashes—often cause catastrophic injuries. These accidents happen when the front of one vehicle slams into the side of another, forming a “T” shape on impact. Because the sides of cars are usually less reinforced, you might face broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or other serious harm.
Meanwhile, insurance companies frequently attempt to deny or undervalue valid claims, leaving victims struggling to cover their bills. Hiring an experienced attorney allows you to level the playing field and stand a better chance of recovering the full amount of compensation you’re entitled to.
What Are My Options After a T-Bone Crash in Florida?
Florida is a no-fault car insurance state, which typically means you’ll first turn to your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage for medical bills and lost wages—regardless of who caused the collision. However, PIP coverage often falls short if you have serious injuries or extensive economic losses.
If your injuries meet Florida’s statutory threshold for “serious injury,” you can step outside the no-fault system and file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver or other liable parties. If your case meets this exception, you can pursue a broader range of damages—such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and more.
Additionally, if the at-fault driver’s policy is insufficient to cover your losses, you might have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage in your own policy. Depending on your situation, you may be able to file a UM/UIM claim for additional compensation. A knowledgeable attorney can review your coverage and advise you on the best path forward.
How Much Time Do I Have To File a T-Bone Accident Lawsuit in Florida?
Every personal injury case in Florida must comply with the state’s statute of limitations. Generally, you have two years from the crash date to file a lawsuit for bodily injury in court. Missing this deadline usually means losing your right to pursue compensation.
However, there are exceptions in rare situations—for example, if a government entity is involved or if the injury isn’t immediately discovered. Because these rules can be complicated, it’s wise to consult an attorney as soon as possible. Acting quickly also helps preserve evidence and witness accounts while they’re still fresh.
