Side
Impact Attorney
Side-impact collisions are
one of the greatest dangers
on the road. They are one
of the leading causes of
death and injury in the United
States, killing an estimated
10,000 people each year.
With the increased number
of SUVs and pickups involved
in these accidents, the fatalities,
injuries and damages are
rising. If you were involved
in such a tragic event, you
should call an experienced
side impact attorney, head
on collision lawyer or a
pedestrian knock down lawyer.
The prevention of partial
and complete ejection through
side windows, especially
in rollover accidents, remains
a hurdle for vehicle safety
regulators and agencies.

Rollover accident lawyers
are familiar with the safety
records of most major car
manufacturers.Most side-impact
collisions occur at intersections
due to drivers' failure to
stop at a stop sign or red
light. If you or a loved
one has been involved in
a side-impact collision you
should contact a side-impact
accident law firm as soon
as possible. Here you will
be able to consult with a
side-impact accident attorney
who can provide you with
the proper guidance, counseling
and advice you will need
as you move forward with
your claim. We also have
experienced side impact attorneys,
head on collision attorneys,
and pedestrian knock down
attorneys.
The severity of the accident
will depend on the speed
and weight of the vehicles
involved, the point of impact,
and the age, weight, height
and gender of the occupants.
Females were found to be
at higher risk of brain injury,
which may be the result of
greater male neck strength
leading to less head movement,
as well as better body position.
Side-impact airbags located
in the doors of the vehicle
can reduce the severity of
injuries, but consumers should
be aware that the deployment
of such safety devices comes
with risks to infants and
young children. The airbags
are inflatable devices that
help protect an individual's
head and chest during an
accident. There are usually
sensors that determine whether
a crash is severe enough
to inflate the airbags, which
deploy in a fraction of a
second. Additionally, some
side airbags may stay inflated
for a few seconds during
a collision, in order to
protect individuals from
rollovers. Chest side-impact
airbags are mounted in the
side of the seat or the door;
side-impact airbags that
protect the head are usually
mounted in the roof rail
above the side windows; combination
side-impact airbags are designed
to protect an adult's head
and chest. It is recommended
that children age 12 and
younger and infants using
child safety seats never
be placed in the front seats
where safety bags may be
deployed.
