Side-swipe accidents often occur due to driver inattention. Look for broken mirrors to determine the accident's location. Paint transfer can indicate vehicle contact but not the exact site of the incident. These accidents can lead to severe head-on collisions if one vehicle loses control.

Side swipe accidents happen when people don't pay attention. In these accidents, you want to look for broken mirrors because that can tell you where the accident happened. A paint swap, that is paint from one car to the other, doesn't tell you where it happened, although it can tell you where it happened on the vehicle. The worst thing that happens in side swipe accidents is when one car bumps another car and it loses control and goes into oncoming traffic. These are catastrophic head-on collisions. So if you are the victim of a side swipe accident, give us a call.
