Auto Accident Varieties
When auto accidents occur, they can be categorized in three basis level of severity.
Auto accidents can be major, minor or medium both in severity of injuries to passengers and drivers as well as damage to the vehicles, whether they be trucks, cars, SUV's or the like. In all cases, a Phoenix personal injury attorney may be involved after the accident.
With the different levels of severity regarding accidents, comes different types of collisions. Whether they be head on, rear end, or side swipe, all can vary in degree and severity.
A head on collision can be especially detrimental. When the vehicles collide, whatever rate of speed they are traveling towards each other when they collide is added together. For example, if two cars traveling down a one lane road with no median are both going 45 mile per hour, the collision impact is the same as a vehicle traveling 90 miles an hour and hitting a stationary object like a brick wall. Due to the relative average speeds of everyday traffic, the likelihood of a head on collision being a major type of accident is increased compared to other types of accidents. When major accidents occur, there may be many legal issues that arise.
When such circumstances occur, individuals involved in these major head on collisions have sought the services of a Phoenix personal injury attorney.
