Getting Money After a T-Bone Car Accident
If you’re the victim of a T-bone accident and are planning to pursue a personal injury case against the driver who caused your accident, you’ll have to prove the liability of the driver.

- That the driver acted negligently.

If you can prove liability, then you may be entitled to damages.
