Head On Collision Attorney

Causes of Head On Collisions

When someone is involved in a head on collision with another vehicle, the result, unfortunately, often is a critical or fatal injury.  Head on collision can occur anywhere and involve two vehicles traveling in opposite directions and heading right towards each other.  The faster the rate of speed of each vehicle, the more severe the injuries can be.  There are a variety of factors that cause this type of collision, which include:

• Alcohol or drugs affecting a driver's judgment
• Passing when unsafe to do so
• Turning left onto approaching traffic
• Making too wide a right turn into opposing traffic
• Failure to follow road signs
• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Swerving to avoid an obstacle
• Poor visibility
• Loss of control due to tire blow out or other malfunction

Most head on collisions occur due to poor judgment by the driver of the vehicle, such as in passing when unsafe to do so, or entering a one way street, or when falling asleep at the wheel and drifting into oncoming traffic.  If you have been injured in a traffic accident caused through the negligence of another striking you head on, consulting with a auto accident attorney is imperative in order to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.  Dealing with your injuries is more important than attempting to negotiate with insurance companies regarding a claim.  Our firm has caring and compassionate legal staff that will personally handle many of the aspects of your claim so that you may concentrate on recovering from your injuries.
