Types of Traffic Accidents in Hollywood

Some of the most common kinds of car accidents in Hollywood include:

• Rear-end collisions – A rear-end collision occurs when the front of one vehicle slams into the rear of the car in front. Rear-end collisions frequently cause whiplash, herniated spinal discs, and chest or facial injuries when a car occupant hits the steering wheel, dashboard, or seatback. Rear-end accidents often happen due to distracted driving, drowsy driving, or drunk driving, plus other factors such as speeding or heavy traffic that prevent the driver in the rear from slowing down or stopping in time to avoid a collision.
• T-bone collisions – A T-bone collision happens when the front of one vehicle hits the side of another car. These collisions most frequently occur in intersections when a driver runs a red light or stop sign or fails to yield the right of way. Other factors, such as distracted driving and speeding, can contribute to T-bone accidents. T-bone collisions often cause severe injuries for the occupants of the vehicle hit on its side, as most vehicles have less crash protection on their sides.
• Head-on collisions – When the fronts of two vehicles collide, it’s called a head-on collision. Head-on crashes often happen because a driver veers over the center line or median or drives the wrong way down a one-way street or highway access ramp. Head-on collisions tend to cause the most severe kinds of injuries in car accidents due to the traumatic forces caused by two vehicles hitting each other at full speed.
• Sideswipe collisions – A sideswipe collision occurs when the side of one car bumps or grinds along the side of another vehicle. Sideswipes often happen on the highway when drivers fail to signal or check their mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes. These collisions can also happen when a vehicle drifts out of its lane. Sideswipe crashes can cause drivers to lose control and hit other vehicles or objects in secondary collisions.
• Multi-vehicle pile-ups – Multi-vehicle pile-up accidents are car crashes involving three or more vehicles. Pile-up accidents may involve a series of vehicles crashing into vehicles that have stopped after having a crash of their own, or they may involve two vehicles hitting each other and ricocheting into collisions with other vehicles.
• Hit-and-run crashes – Florida law requires drivers to stop or return to the scene of an accident immediately. A car accident becomes a hit-and-run crash when one of the drivers involved in the collision fails to stop at or flees from the accident scene. Victims of hit-and-run crashes may be entitled to compensation from their uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if they cannot later identify and locate the hit-and-run driver.
• Rollover accidents – A rollover accident occurs when a car flips onto its side or roof or tumbles over multiple times. These crashes often cause serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, neck or back injuries, and spinal cord injuries or paralysis.
• Single-vehicle accidents – A single-vehicle car accident involves only one vehicle that crashes after the driver loses control or collides with an object, such as a guardrail, tree, sign, or light pole. Passengers in single-vehicle crashes may be entitled to compensation from the driver’s auto insurance.
• Blind-spot accidents – A blind-spot accident is a collision between a car and another vehicle in the driver’s blind spot.
• Merging accidents – A merging accident occurs when a driver fails to yield the right of way when merging with traffic, such as merging onto the highway or entering a traffic circle.
