Car accidents can take place anytime, anywhere, and in many different situations. Here is a list of the most common types of auto accidents.

• Head On Collision. This type of accident occurs when the front end of two vehicles hit each other in opposite directions. Head on collisions are often fatal and can be prevented by remaining aware of traffic signs, street conditions, and by staying in your lane while driving.

• Side Impact Collision. Also known as T-bone collisions, these accidents are where the side of one or more vehicles is hit. Results from a side impact collision may be severe depending where exactly the vehicle struck. Side impact collisions often occur at intersections and in parking lots.

• Rear End Collision. This type of accident takes places when a vehicle crashes into the vehicle in front of it. Drivers who have been inattentive or distracted, or who stopped in a panic usually cause rear end collisions. Unfavorable weather conditions may also lead to slick roads and reduced tire traction while braking.

• Vehicle Rollover. This type of crash is when a vehicle tips over onto its side or roof. Rollovers have a higher fatality rate than any other type of vehicle collision. Rollovers can be caused due to a specific vehicle type, driving behavior, or road and environmental condition.
