Not all vehicles are equipped to sufficiently protect drivers and passengers involved in side-swipe or “T-bone” collisions. As a result, those hurt in such accidents may sustain injuries to the head, neck, and spine. This harm may require an injured person to spend considerable time and money in recovery.
With assistance from a Pennsauken Township side-impact car accident lawyer, you may be able to secure monetary compensation for any losses or expenses you have incurred as a result of someone else’s negligence. Car accident attorneys at our firm are familiar with the otherwise intimidating and confusing legal process and could help you resolve your claim.
A side-impact car accident can involve both side-swipe incidents as well as T-bone crashes. Side-swiping accidents occur when one driver leaves his or her lane of travel and collides with a vehicle traveling alongside him or her. While the initial impact may not be significant, a side-swipe can increase the likelihood of either driver losing control of their vehicle and causing further damage.
On the other hand, a T-bone collision is characterized by two vehicles striking each other at a 90-degree angle. In other words, the front end of one vehicle strikes the side of another. These accidents commonly result in serious damages, such as severe head trauma and back injuries, to both drivers and their passengers.
Both side-swipe crashes and T-bone collisions in Pennsauken Township are often the result of negligent behavior. Examples of driver negligence include:
A court must determine whether a driver is negligent after reviewing all the relevant facts and considering what a reasonable, prudent driver would have done under similar circumstances. A Pennsauken Township attorney from our firm could help an injured plaintiff demonstrate that the opposing party’s behavior at the time of the side-impact car crash was unreasonable by presenting supporting evidence such as photos and video recordings.
Under New Jersey’s statute of limitations, injured plaintiffs have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit and seek compensation. Specifically, New Jersey Revised Statutes §2A:14-2 generally gives claimants two years from the date of their accident to initiate civil litigation against responsible parties.
Claimants who miss this deadline may not be able to recover any damages whatsoever. One of our lawyers could help ensure that a plaintiff satisfies the statute of limitations and file a lawsuit on his or her behalf before this deadline expires. There are some exceptions to the statute of limitations, so it is best to discuss with an attorney whether such exceptions may apply in a certain case.
If another person’s careless misconduct led to the side-swipe or T-bone collision that caused your injuries, you might be eligible for compensation for your losses. The assistance of a Pennsauken Township side-impact car accident lawyer could make a substantial difference in your ability to receive damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs. For help with filing a civil claim and recovering damages, call our firm and schedule a consultation with a professional.
This team is incredible. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate everything they have done for me and would recommend them to anyone. Overall great experience
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!
Thank you so much Grungo and Colarulo for helping me with my case. Special thanks to Erica Domingo, Esquire and her team. Erica Domingo and her team was very nice and helped me tremendously throughout my case like more than one year and half. They gave me the right advice and guided me through every step of my case. They gave me prompt and clear responses to all my questions. In addition, Erica and her team provided me with all the what if scenarios so that I can have a clear vison of the steps ahead.
I would definitely recommend Grungo and Colarulo.
Thanks again Erica Domingo, Esquire and her team
My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!
I left five (5) stars only because that’s as many as I could leave. If I could, I would have left 100 stars. Bob & Christine are the absolute best! My settlement far exceeded what I ever imagined. They are professional, friendly, and really listened to what I had to say. They kept me up to date with the progress of my case every step of the way. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Very professional, communicates well, makes me feel like they have my best interest at heart, and overall just a great company. Christine and the whole team has been on top of everything. Would definitely recommend!! 10/10
First and foremost I would like to thank the whole team at Grungo Colarulo!! In addition to that, Stephanie & Riley & Drenna have done such an outstanding job taking care of me in such a difficult and low point of my life.

If you ever need assistance I highly recommend this practice!!! Beyond professional, helpful, precise, caring, knowledgeable & humble!!!

This was my first time ever having to have a lawyer for an automobile accident. From the beginning they took care of everything. They put me at ease so I could concentrate on my medical needs. Everyone I spoke to during the process were always extremely pleasant and knowledgeable.
Thank you to Grungo Colarulo for representing me and getting the settlement you did to help me move forward. I would highly recommend Grungo Colarulo to anyone who wants outstanding legal representation.

A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **
Thank you for everything. I honestly felt like you treated my son like he was your own son, for that I am grateful. I would recommend your services to anyone. Thanks for being so awesome to both of us.
It was a pleasure working with Bill. He constantly kept me informed. I would recommend Bill and his firm to anybody I know. They’ll be in good hands.
I had the opportunity to retain Mr. Colarulo for a vehicle accident I encountered. I give him my highest recommendation for anyone in need of an excellent Personal Injury Attorney. Not only does he have an in depth knowledge of the legal field, but he emanates a sense of trust-worthiness that makes you feel secure during the entire process. Mr. Colarulo has the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm that will get the job done for you. He comes highly recommended.
Hi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by. I was just thinking of you as I am getting ready to leave and wanted to thank you once again for everything you have done for my son’s future. You are a good and just man. God Bless to you and your family.
Be Well,
