Miami T-Bone Accident Lawyers

Our law firm can help recover what you’ve lost after an intersection crash

T-bone accidents (also known as side-impact collisions) are some of the most dangerous crashes we see here in Miami. Whether it happens at a busy Brickell intersection or a side street in Little Havana, a T-bone crash often means one thing: someone failed to yield, ran a light, or made a reckless decision behind the wheel.

If you were injured in a T-bone accident, you could be facing serious injuries and a long, expensive recovery. The Miami car accident lawyers at Romanow Law Group help people like you get the medical care and compensation they need while they recover. These cases are rarely straightforward, and fault isn’t always as clear as it should be. That’s where we come in. We’ll work tirelessly to get you clarity, support, and results. Contact us today to set up a free consultation with our legal team.

How do T-bone accidents happen in Miami?

Most T-bone crashes happen at intersections, and Miami has no shortage of chaotic ones. We see these collisions often at:

NW 7th and 54th Street
SW 8th Street and 37th Avenue
Biscayne Boulevard intersections
Traffic-heavy areas like Brickell and Downtown

Common causes of Miami intersection accidents include:

Running a red light or stop sign
Failing to yield while turning left
Speeding through intersections
Distracted driving or texting
Trying to “beat the light” in traffic

What injuries are common in T-bone crashes?

The force of a side-impact collision hits differently. Unlike front or rear-end crashes, there’s usually very little structure between you and the oncoming vehicle. When a vehicle hits the side of your car, there’s often little to protect you. That’s why these collisions tend to be so serious.

As a result, our Miami T-bone accident lawyers have seen serious injuries such as:

Broken ribs, hips, arms, or collarbones
Head and brain injuries (concussions, TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries
Pelvic fractures
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Long-term pain and mobility issues

Even if you walked away from the crash, symptoms can develop later. We’ll make sure they’re fully documented and taken seriously, so the insurance companies can’t downplay your condition.

Who’s at fault in a T-bone accident?

It depends on the circumstances, but one driver almost always failed to follow the rules of the road. That could be the person who:

Ran a red light or stop sign
Made an illegal turn
Drove through a flashing yellow without yielding
Was speeding or distracted in the intersection

That said, fault can be contested and the other side may try to say you caused the crash. That’s where our investigation comes in. Facts matter, and we’ll leave no stone unturned when uncovering them.

Our Miami attorneys collect evidence such as:

Traffic cam or dash cam footage
Witness statements
Vehicle damage reports
Intersection light timing data
Expert crash reconstructions

What if both drivers say they had the green light?

This happens more often than you’d think, especially at poorly timed intersections or when drivers are distracted. When the stories conflict, it’s our job to dig deeper. We may:

Request surveillance footage from nearby businesses
Subpoena black box data from the vehicles
Interview independent witnesses
Analyze the angles of impact and damage patterns

These are the details that can make or break your case – and we know how to find them. Our goal is to build a strong case that the at-fault party can’t deny and the insurance companies can’t ignore.

Can a passenger in a T-bone accident file a claim?

If you were a passenger in either car during the crash, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries, regardless of which driver was at fault.

We’ll help you file a claim against the appropriate insurance policies, and we’ll handle any awkward or complicated situations. For example, if you were riding with a friend or family member who caused the crash.

What kind of compensation can I recover after a Miami T-bone accident?

If you were injured in a T-bone crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical bills (now and in the future)
Lost income from missed work
Reduced earning capacity if you can’t return to your job
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Long-term disability or reduced quality of life
Property damage

Romanow Law Group doesn’t just add up your expenses. We build a case that reflects how this crash has affected every part of your life. We’ll meticulously calculate every economic and non-economic loss you’re entitled to and fight tirelessly to recover it on your behalf.

What if I was partially at fault?

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you were no more than 50% at fault. If fault is shared, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Even if it’s not, insurance companies might argue that you contributed some fault to the crash in an attempt to reduce or deny your compensation.

Our Miami T-bone accident lawyers fight to make sure that number stays as low as possible or disappears altogether if the other driver is clearly at fault. We gather indisputable evidence to prove liability, so you don’t end up paying for someone else’s mistake.
