You could face several kinds of accidents on road and you can get compensation for the damages by approaching a Stuart car accident lawyer. Let us discuss few types of accidents in brief.
Head-to-head collision
If two cars collide on each other coming from opposite directions, it is known as a head-on-head collision. You can consider this type of collision as dangerous than others as the impact would be heavy. It is necessary to be fastened with your seat belts if you have to survive in this collision. It also depends on the area of collision between the two cars. If the opposite car hits directly without diversion, the impact would be more. However, if one of the drivers tries to divert the car a bit, the impact will be negligibleas only a part of the car would collide. So, it is advisable to lock your seatbelts for every drive.
Vehicle rollover
You would have seen in movies where cars and trucks roll over multiple times on the road when they are moving at a high speed and strike on something on the road. It is called the vehicle rollover. If you are driving a heavy vehicle such as an SUV, the risks are high that your car will end up in rollover when there is an imbalance due to external obstacles or the imbalance created due to the ignorance of the driver. As the weight of the body acts only on a particular side of the vehicle, the body starts rotation. If the seatbelts are not in use, the passengers would be in trouble.
T-bone impact
It will be a collision that involves a car losing control and colliding on the side of another car forming a T-shape. If a car is moving straight down the road where there is a joining of another road on the right, there are chances for another vehicle to come from that right-side road. When both of them are unaware of another vehicle on the neighboring road, they would end up in a T-bone accident. The car from the right-side road would directly hit on the doors of the car moving straight. The impact would cause serious damages and the injuries could lead to a fatality at times. Although the impact would not create that much effect on the hitting car, the victim’s car would get deformations and dents.
Multiple vehicle collision
When the road is full of vehicles but everything is moving freely, you would not care about the crowd as you are free to go. Hence, no driver would care to go slow or have control at the moment. But when a single driver loses his control over the vehicle and struggles on the road, the entire string of vehicles coming behind it could face troubles. Every vehicle will start hitting on the other and there would be several injuries. This event of one or two vehicles causing multiple accidents is termed a multiple vehicle collision.
