How the Crash Happened

Car, truck, and motorcycle claims stay on their existing URLs. We did not create a second “car accidents” library under this folder. Use this section when the *how* of the crash is the thing you need explained.

• Bicycle Accidents — Bicycle Accidents

  A bicycle crash claim usually means a motor vehicle hit a rider, or a driver opened a door into a rider. Left crosses, right hooks, and “I never saw the bike” are common stories. A helmet can affect injuries. It does not decide fault by itself.

• Distracted Driving Accidents — Distracted Driving Accidents

  NHTSA treats distracted driving as anything that pulls attention off driving — a phone, food, a passenger, the stereo, a screen. A texting ticket can help a civil claim. The claim still has to show negligence, causation, and damages.

• Drunk Driving Accidents — Drunk Driving Accidents

  If a drunk or impaired driver hit you, there may be a criminal case and a separate civil claim. A conviction can be useful evidence. It does not set your medical bills, your time off work, or whether insurance will pay.

• Head-On Collisions — Head-On Collisions

  A head-on collision is two vehicles hitting front to front, usually while traveling in opposite directions. Crossing the center line, a bad pass, fatigue, and impairment are common explanations. The forces are high. So are the medical bills.

• Hit-and-Run Accidents — Hit-and-Run Accidents

  A hit-and-run is a crash where the other driver leaves. You may still have a claim through uninsured motorist coverage if you bought it and the policy covers that kind of loss. Reporting the crash and following the policy’s notice rules can be strict.

• Multi-Vehicle Accidents — Multi-Vehicle Accidents

  A multi-vehicle crash involves three or more vehicles, or a chain that keeps going after the first hit. More cars means more insurers, more stories, and more chances that someone tries to hand you a share of the blame.

• Pedestrian Accidents — Pedestrian Accidents

  A pedestrian crash is a motor vehicle hitting a person on foot. Crosswalks, turning cars, and drivers who never looked help explain many of them. Being in a crosswalk is not a finished legal case. Being outside one is not an automatic loss.

• Rear-End Accidents — Rear-End Accidents

  A rear-end crash is one vehicle hitting the back of another. People assume the trailing driver is always at fault. That is often the starting point, not a finished answer. Brake lights, following distance, a sudden stop, and a third vehicle can all show up in the file.

• Rideshare Accidents — Rideshare Accidents

  A rideshare crash is a wreck involving a driver using an app like Uber or Lyft. The company’s extra insurance, if any, often depends on what the driver was doing in the app — off, waiting, or already on a trip. Your own policy can still matter.

• Side-Impact and T-Bone Crashes — Side-Impact and T-Bone Crashes

  A side-impact crash is one vehicle hitting the side of another. People call it a t-bone when the hit is close to a right angle. Intersections, left turns, and ignored lights or stop signs are common settings. The door and B-pillar are not a trunk.
