What Is a Head-on Collision?

A head-on collision refers to a collision type where both vehicles involved hit each other head-on. This type of crash is particularly dangerous because, since the vehicles are traveling towards each other, the amount of force involved in the crash is multiplied. These crashes become even more deadly when high speeds are involved. 

Injuries and Damages in a Head-On Crash

A head-on crash can lead to severe, life-changing injuries. Common injuries and damages in a head-on collision include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Soft tissue injuries
• Crushed limbs/amputated limbs
• Facial injuries
• High medical bills
• Permanent disability
• Lost wages as a result of disability
• Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and other non-economic losses

How Head-On Collisions Happen and Liability

Head-on collisions almost always happen as the result of negligence and carelessness of one of the parties involved. Common causes of head-on crashes include falling asleep at the wheel or drowsy driving, drunk driving, excessive speeding, and loss of control of the vehicle, or improperly marked roads and construction zones. 

If you or a loved one has been involved in a head-on crash that was caused by the fault of another party, you maintain the right to seek compensation for the full value of your economic and noneconomic losses. Our lawyer can help you by investigating your case, hiring experts to reconstruct your accident and determine fault, calculating your damages, talking to eyewitnesses, identifying potentially liable parties and sources of compensation, handling your claim documents, and negotiating your settlement. We can represent you throughout the entire process and will work hard to get you a settlement that fully compensates you. 

If your claim involves pursuing damages against a municipality responsible for road maintenance, we can provide assistance helping you to navigate the specific types of rules for these claim types, including the statute of limitations.
