Attorney review: Jami S. Oliver, Founder. Admitted in Ohio, 1993.* About Jami
Oliver Law Office is a woman-led personal injury firm with locations in Dublin and Columbus, Ohio.*
You were following the traffic laws, perhaps after a full stop or waiting for a green light, when another driver crashed into the side of your vehicle.*
What is a T-bone accident?
A T-bone accident is a crash in which another driver hits the side of your vehicle. It is one of the most serious types of crashes you could be in.*
T-bone crashes are much more likely to cause deaths than other types of collisions, such as rear-end crashes.*
Even when victims survive, their injuries are often so severe that they feel the effects for the rest of their lives.*
Why are T-bone accidents so dangerous?
People in a T-bone accident do not have the same protection as in a head-on collision, because the side of a vehicle has only a fairly light steel frame.*
The sides of vehicles do not have the same shock absorption capabilities, and side airbags are non-existent.
With nothing more than that frame, drivers and passengers sitting at the side of the impact will sustain some of the most serious injuries.*
What injuries do T-bone accidents cause?
A T-bone accident can cause some of the most serious injuries, including the ones below.*
- Neck injuries
- Lower back injuries
- Broken bones
- Hip injuries
- Amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Chest injuries
- Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
These injuries are extremely painful, and they need expensive medical treatment. You may not be able to return to work for weeks, months, or even years.*
You deserve compensation for your injuries, but it is not always easy to obtain.*
How do insurance companies handle T-bone accident claims?
Insurance companies are never easy to deal with, and when the possible settlement is high, they are even more reluctant to pay fair compensation.*
The serious injuries in a T-bone accident can mean tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands, of dollars in losses.*
What results has Oliver Law Office obtained in vehicle cases?
These results come from crashes on the road.*
$2.5M
Judgment for automobile striking a bicyclist resulting in death
$5M
Settlement arising out of a death of a pedestrian by a distracted driver
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different.*
“Jami Oliver guided me through the most difficult experience of my life and showed me compassion and professionalism throughout the whole episode.”

What else do people ask about T-bone accidents?
Are head-on collisions more severe than T-bone accidents?
That is a common misconception. Head-on collisions are very serious, but the fronts of vehicles are designed to absorb a great deal of force and impact, and the people inside have safety features such as airbags.*
