What Is a Sideswipe Accident?
Sideswipe collisions usually happen in the area of the vehicle known as the “blind spot,” where you cannot see the other vehicle and they may not be able to see you either. These types of accidents usually involve dents in vehicles that can range from minor bumps to major cracks, lost or scraped panels, flat tires, broken windows, and other defects that may affect the use of your vehicle. Resulting injuries may include shoulder damage, neck damage, back problems, concussions, and more.
Causes of Sideswipe Accidents
While driving, the person responsible for the sideswipe accident could have been doing any of the following actions:
- Drunk driving: Drunk driving is a leading cause of many accidents in the US, and a drunk driver can be held liable for their negligent and dangerous behavior.
- Talking on or operating a cell phone: Anything that pulls a driver’s eye off the road is a dangerous and negligent action. When driving, focus only on driving.
- Driving tired and exhausted: Operating any type of heavy machinery (a car) while tired can lead to terrible accidents.
- Changing the radio station: We all have stations that we love, and some that we don’t enjoy, but this action can take your focus off the road and cause you to make bad driving decisions.
- Texting and driving: Young teens love to do it, older drivers think they can do it safely. Both are wrong. Texting and driving is just as deadly as drunk driving. Don’t do it.
If you or someone you love has been the victim of a sideswipe accident because of any of the above-mentioned reasons, or any other reason you believe may have lead to the sideswipe accident, you may have a case for legal compensation and recovery.
