What's at Stake
We're sorry this happened. Side-impact crashes almost always become an argument about who had the green light, and the proof doesn't wait. Here's what you're up against.
Business and traffic cameras that caught the intersection often record over themselves within days or weeks.
The other driver may say you had the red. Without independent evidence, the insurer will side with its own customer.
Internal injuries and concussions aren't always obvious at the scene. Florida PIP can deny benefits if you aren't treated within 14 days.
Most Florida injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Serious side-impact cases take time to build, so start now.
Let us handle the insurance company.

Why You Need a Lawyer
T-bone crashes, also called side-impact or broadside collisions, happen when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another. In Orlando, they happen at busy intersections on Colonial Drive, Semoran Boulevard, Kirkman Road, John Young Parkway, Orange Blossom Trail and Sand Lake Road — usually when a driver runs a red light, rolls through a stop sign or turns left across oncoming traffic.
They're dangerous because the side of a car has very little crumple zone. Only a door and a few inches separate you from the other vehicle, so people on the struck side often suffer broken ribs, pelvic fractures, internal injuries and brain injuries, even when airbags deploy.
Almost every T-bone case turns on one question: who had the right of way? The other driver will often say they had the green. Our Orlando T-bone accident lawyers answer that with evidence — intersection and business camera footage, signal timing records, vehicle data and independent witnesses — gathered before it's gone. One of our attorneys used to defend insurance companies, so we know how they try to split the blame. And they know we prepare every case for a jury.
Cases We Handle
Side-impact crashes overlap with other case types, and the injuries are often serious. Here's how our attorneys handle the most common ones.
A truck that turns or runs a light into your door. Federal rules and bigger policies apply.
Another high-force crash where a driver ended up where they never should have been.
Side impacts can twist the spine in ways the body isn't built to absorb.
If the driver who hit you has no bodily injury coverage, your UM policy may have to pay.

Compensation
Side-impact injuries are often serious enough to step outside Florida's no-fault system. That means you can claim against the at-fault driver for the full impact on your life, not just what PIP covers.
Emergency care, surgery, hospital stays, physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Follow-up surgeries, long-term therapy and care your doctors expect you'll need.
Missed paychecks and income you can no longer earn.
Physical pain, anxiety behind the wheel and the things you can't do anymore.
Lasting impairment, disfigurement and the loss of an important bodily function.
Repair or replacement of your vehicle and its lost value.
Rides to appointments, rental cars, home help and modifications.
The impact of your injuries on your marriage and family life.

Get My Free Case ReviewFlorida Law
Florida's traffic code decides who should have yielded. Its insurance rules and 2023 fault changes decide how much you can recover.
Right of way. Florida law requires drivers to obey traffic signals (Fla. Stat. § 316.075), stop and yield at stop and yield signs (§ 316.123), and yield to oncoming traffic before turning left (§ 316.122). A driver who breaks one of these rules and causes a side-impact crash is generally negligent.
Shared fault is the insurer's favorite argument. In intersection crashes, insurers often claim you were speeding, entered on a stale yellow or should have seen them coming. Since 2023, Florida uses modified comparative fault: your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, and you recover nothing from the other driver if you're found more than 50% at fault. That's why the evidence matters so much.
Stepping outside no-fault. Your $10,000 in PIP pays first. To claim pain and suffering from the at-fault driver, Florida requires a permanent injury, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, a significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, or death. Many side-impact injuries meet that threshold.
Uninsured drivers. Florida doesn't require bodily injury liability coverage, and many drivers who run lights carry little or none. Your own uninsured motorist coverage may be the policy that pays.

Straight Answers
A T-bone accident, also called a side-impact or broadside collision, happens when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, forming a “T.” Most happen at intersections when a driver runs a red light or stop sign, fails to yield or turns left across traffic. Because the side of a car offers much less protection than the front or rear, these crashes often cause serious injuries.
Usually the driver who should have yielded: the one who ran a red light or stop sign, failed to yield on a left turn or pulled out from a side street. Proving it often takes intersection or business camera footage, signal timing records, vehicle data, witness testimony and sometimes accident reconstruction. Our Orlando attorneys work to secure that evidence before it disappears.
Broken ribs, pelvis and hip fractures, shoulder and arm injuries, spinal injuries, concussions and other traumatic brain injuries, and internal injuries to the spleen, liver or lungs. People sitting on the side that was struck are especially vulnerable. Many of these injuries need surgery and long-term care.
It depends on your injuries, your medical costs now and in the future, your lost income, how the injuries affect your life, the insurance available and how fault is divided. Because side-impact injuries tend to be serious, these claims are often worth more than a typical fender-bender, but every case is different. We'll review yours for free and give you an honest assessment.
That's common in T-bone cases, and it's why physical evidence matters. Intersection and business cameras, signal timing data, damage patterns, vehicle event data and independent witnesses can show who actually had the green. We move quickly to preserve that evidence and protect you from a false fault claim.
For most crashes on or after March 24, 2023, Florida gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. The intersection evidence these cases depend on can be gone in days, so it's best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Nothing up front. ANT Law Firm works on a contingency fee: our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, and if we don't win, you don't owe us a fee. We'll explain the exact percentage in writing during your free case review.
Possibly. Drivers turning left must yield to oncoming traffic, so insurers often blame the turning driver. But if the other driver was speeding, ran a red light or entered on a red arrow, they may carry most or all of the fault. Under Florida's modified comparative fault rule, you can recover as long as you're not more than 50% at fault. An attorney can review the evidence and tell you where you stand.
