According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the most common types of car accidents in Indiana are:

1. Rear-end collisions: This occurs when a driver hits the car in front of them from behind. These types of accidents are often caused by distracted driving, following too closely, or sudden stops.
2. Sideswipe collisions: This occurs when two cars traveling parallel to each other make contact. Sideswipe collisions can be caused by driver inattention, drifting out of a lane, or failure to yield.
3. Head-on collisions: This occurs when two cars traveling in opposite directions collide with each other. Head-on collisions are often caused by drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, fatigued, or distracted.
4. Intersection accidents: This occurs when two cars collide at an intersection. Intersection accidents are often caused by drivers who fail to yield the right of way, run red lights, or make illegal turns.
5. Single-car accidents: This occurs when a car collides with a fixed object such as a tree or a guardrail. Single-car accidents can be caused by driver error, such as speeding, distracted driving, or driving under the influence.
6. Pedestrian accidents: This occurs when a car collides with a pedestrian. Pedestrian accidents can be caused by driver inattention, failure to yield, or driving under the influence.

It is important to remember that regardless of the type of car accident, drivers have a responsibility to follow traffic laws and take steps to avoid accidents. If you have been involved in a car accident in Indiana, it is important to seek medical attention and consult with a personal injury attorney to understand your legal options.
