Common Types of Car Accidents
Diverse roadways, from congested urban intersections to long stretches of I-95, create multiple accident scenarios. At Rafaeli Law PLLC, we represent clients in all major types of collisions:
Rear-End Collisions
Typically caused by distracted driving or tailgating, rear-end accidents can lead to whiplash, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. These incidents make up a large portion of crash data each year.
Side-Impact or T-Bone Crashes
Intersections are a common site for these dangerous crashes, which often result in severe injuries to passengers due to limited side-impact protection.
Head-On Collisions
Often occurring on rural or undivided highways, these are among the deadliest crash types. Survivors frequently face long-term rehabilitation and substantial medical expenses.
Multi-Vehicle Pileups
High-speed pileups on highways involve multiple drivers and complex liability issues. We analyze every detail, from weather conditions to road design, to identify every negligent party.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run crashes are a serious problem nationwide, with tens of thousands of incidents reported in a single year, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and many thousands of injuries. If the fleeing driver isn’t found, our attorneys can explore uninsured motorist coverage and other legal options.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)
Collisions involving rideshare vehicles are legally complex due to overlapping insurance coverages. Rafaeli Law PLLC handles cases where passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers are injured in Uber or Lyft-related crashes, pursuing compensation under applicable rideshare liability laws and insurance frameworks.
