Head-On Collision
HOUSTON - Washingtoner -- Car accidents happen every single day across the country. On highways, in neighborhoods, at busy intersections, even in parking lots. They're stressful, often painful, and sometimes life-changing. While crashes can happen for many reasons, certain types of accidents are more common than others.

Rear-End Crashes
This is the most common type of accident in the U.S. It usually happens when someone's driving too close or not paying attention and ends up bumping or slamming into the car in front of them. It's often due to distracted driving, like looking at your phone at a red light or not noticing traffic slowing down ahead. Even at low speeds, these accidents can cause neck and back injuries.

T-Bone or Side-Impact Collisions
These accidents are most likely to happen at intersections. One car runs a red light or fails to yield and crashes into the side of another vehicle. Since the sides of most cars don't offer as much protection as the front or back, these crashes can lead to serious injuries, especially to the driver or passenger on the impacted side.

Head-On Collisions
Though not as common, head-on collisions are among the deadliest. They happen when two cars traveling in opposite directions crash front-first. These crashes usually involve someone crossing into the wrong lane, maybe because they're impaired, distracted, or fall asleep at the wheel. They tend to occur on rural or two-lane roads without medians and often result in serious or fatal injuries.

Single-Car Accidents
Sometimes, only one vehicle is involved in a crash, hitting a pole, guardrail, tree, or even veering off the road entirely. These kinds of accidents are often caused by speeding, bad weather, or swerving to avoid something on the road. While they might seem less severe, they can still be deadly depending on the impact and speed.

Chain-Reaction Pileups
These multi-car crashes happen most often on freeways or in heavy traffic. One sudden stop or impact can lead to a domino effect, especially when cars are following too closely or visibility is poor. These pileups are chaotic and dangerous.

Parking Lot Bumps
Accidents don't always happen on the road. In parking lots, low-speed collisions are surprisingly common. Cars backing out at the same time, drivers not checking their mirrors, or cutting across lanes. While these accidents usually cause minor damage, they're still frustrating and can lead to insurance headaches.

Contact An Attorney
  • Houston Car Accident Attorney
  • Long Island Car Accident Lawyer
  • Maryland Accident Lawyer

If you've been in a crash, big or small, it's smart to talk to a personal injury attorney. They can walk you through your options, deal with insurance, and make sure you're not left paying for someone else's mistake.
