Common Categories Of Auto Accidents

Whether it’s a crash on a fast highway or a bumper-to-bumper fender bender, the circumstances surrounding an auto accident have a great impact on the resulting injuries. The most common types of accidents are vehicle rollovers, rear-end collisions and side-impact crashes.

Rollover Accidents

Exactly as it sounds, a rollover accident involves the flipping of one or more vehicles onto their roofs. While nearly any vehicle can potentially flip over onto its roof, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) have an increased risk due to their top-heavy design. Adverse weather conditions can also compound this risk.

A car rollover can result from a variety of circumstances, including:

• Turning too sharply
• Side-impact crashes
• Speeding
• Rain/wet roads

Rear-End Collisions

In rear-end accidents, the front end of one vehicle hits the rear of another, causing a varying degree of damage. These crashes often occur when a driver does not brake soon enough to prevent a collision or when the leading vehicle stops suddenly. With enough speed, injuries to the occupants of the impacted vehicle can be particularly severe, with whiplash being the most common. These crashes are typically determined to be the fault of the driver that hits the other car, unless the impacted vehicle was going in reverse at the time of the collision.

Side-Impact Crashes

Often referred to as a “T-bone” accident, a side-impact collision involves one car running into the side of another, causing damage. Nearly 30 percent of all crashes in the United States involve a side impact, most often happening at intersections. Greater injuries typically result if the driver’s side is hit. Sideswipe collisions can be included in this category, which involve two parallel cars touching each other, causing a scraping effect. Sideswipes are typically cosmetic only, though high speeds can cause a driver to lose control.
