A side impact with no crumple zone to protect you.<\/h2>\r\n        <div class=\"prose prose--wide\" style=\"margin-top:1.2rem\">\r\n          <p>A T bone accident happens when the front of one vehicle hits the side of another at a right angle, almost always at an intersection. The name comes from the T shape the two vehicles make when they hit. If you are asking what is a T boned accident, or searching what is at bone accident because autocorrect got there first, this is the crash you mean. T bone collisions go by four names, and they all mean the same wreck:<\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"ind__parts\" style=\"margin:1.1rem 0\"><span>T bone accident<\/span><span>Side impact collision<\/span><span>Broadside collision<\/span><span>Right angle collision<\/span><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"prose prose--wide\">\r\n          <p>One fact drives everything else on this page: the side of a car has no crumple zone. A struck door sits inches from the person behind it, so a speed that would dent bumpers in a rear end crash can total a vehicle here. That&#8217;s why proving who had the light, and finding the camera that saw it, matters more in a broadside than in any other kind of crash. TxDOT crash data shows where these crashes happen most often, and our <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/tools\/most-dangerous-intersections-in-texas\/\">most dangerous intersections in Texas<\/a> tool ranks every one of them.<\/p>\r\n          <p>Hurt in one of these?

A court order is what reaches the other car&#8217;s module, and a court order needs a filed suit, so the two year clock and the day that wreck goes to salvage are the same deadline seen from two directions.

A run signal case comes down to timing, so the controller&#8217;s data decides it. A driveway case is simpler: sec. 545.155 makes the driver coming off a private drive the one who must yield. Texas hands you a head start: a driver required to stop and yield who collides with the vehicle entitled to the right of way &ldquo;is presumed not to have yielded the right-of-way&rdquo; (Tex.

A bus or train on the block carries its own cameras, and the store or doorbell facing the corner may hold the only clear angle.<\/p>\r\n          <p>The 2019 law changed less than most drivers think. Texas ended photographic traffic signal enforcement, meaning the systems that mailed tickets (Tex. Transp.

Its job is knowledge. Texas places a duty to preserve on a party who knows or reasonably should know there is a substantial chance a claim will be filed and that evidence it holds will be material to it (Brookshire Bros., Ltd. v. Aldridge, restating the settled Texas standard). Once the letter lands, the holder can no longer say it had no idea the video mattered. A later loss becomes something a court can sanction, not just bad luck. That&#8217;s why we send one to each holder right away, naming the intersection, the date and time, and the cameras we mean.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/details>\r\n    <details class=\"qbox\">\r\n      <summary><span class=\"sumwrap\"><span class=\"kick\">If it is erased<\/span><span class=\"h-card\">If the video is erased after notice, what a Texas court does<\/span><small class=\"qbox__desc\">The two step test, and why it is worth less than the footage<\/small><\/span><span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n      <div class=\"qbox__body\">\r\n      <p>You can&#8217;t file a separate lawsuit over the erased video, because spoliation is not an independent tort in Texas.<\/p>\r\n      <p>A remedy inside your case is different. It can move the fault percentages themselves, and those percentages are the number your recovery is calculated from (Trevino v. Ortega). The fight happens inside the injury suit itself. The trial court works in two steps.<\/p>\r\n      <ol class=\"bstep\" role=\"list\"><li><b>Duty and breach.<\/b> Did a duty to preserve exist, and did the holder breach it intentionally or negligently.<\/li><li><b>The remedy.<\/b> The court picks one matching the culpability and the prejudice the loss caused the other side. Prejudice belongs here, in the remedy, never in step one (Brookshire Bros. v. Aldridge).<\/li><\/ol>\r\n      <p>One remedy lets jurors presume the lost video was unfavorable. Courts save that instruction for intentional destruction, or for a negligent loss that leaves no meaningful way to present the case. Every remedy on that list is worth less than footage that still exists.

The Texas math, and what to check before accepting the insurer&#8217;s number, is covered in the total loss section of this page. Keep the car until the damage is photographed.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">Can I still recover if the crash was partly my fault?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"faq__a\">Yes, up to half. Texas bars recovery only when your percentage of responsibility is greater than 50 percent, and at exactly 50 percent you still recover, with your award reduced by that share (Tex. Civ. Prac. &amp; Rem. Code secs. 33.001, 33.012(a)). Percentages are argued, not handed down, so before you accept any number an adjuster gives you, have a lawyer test the proof behind it.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">Does a T bone case fail if neither car had a black box?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"faq__a\">No. The federal rule on event data recorders covers only a vehicle that has one; it says what that recorder must capture, and it requires no car to carry one (49 C.F.R. Part 563). You can still prove a side impact case without any recorder through the other routes on this page, from intersection video to the vehicles themselves. Name the proof you know exists, and let us go find the rest.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sec-foot reveal\">\r\n      <p>Still have questions?
