Injured in a Head-On Collision?
Head-on collisions are among the most devastating types of car accidents, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. At Dermer Law, we fight for victims of head-on collisions, helping them secure the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.
A head-on collision occurs when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions crash into each other. These accidents frequently lead to catastrophic injuries due to the combined force of impact. Victims often face extensive medical bills, lost wages, and long-term physical or emotional pain. At Dermer Law, we understand the devastating impact these accidents can have on your life and work tirelessly to hold the at-fault party accountable while pursuing maximum compensation on your behalf.
Common Causes of Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are usually caused by driver negligence. Here are some of the most common reasons these accidents occur:
Distracted Driving
Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or engaging in other distractions may drift into oncoming traffic.
Driving Under the Influence
Alcohol or drug impairment significantly reduces reaction times and increases the likelihood of crossing into another lane.
Speeding
Excessive speed can make it difficult to maintain control of a vehicle, especially on curves or narrow roads.
Drowsy Driving
Fatigued drivers may lose focus or fall asleep at the wheel, causing them to veer into oncoming traffic.
Weather Conditions
Rain, fog, or icy roads can make it challenging for drivers to see or maintain control, increasing the risk of a head-on collision.
Severe Injuries and Long-Term Consequences
Head-on collisions often result in life-altering injuries. Victims may require extensive medical treatment and face long-term challenges, such as:
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Severe head trauma can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, or permanent disability.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spine may result in partial or complete paralysis, requiring lifelong care.
Broken Bones
Fractures from the force of impact often require surgeries and lengthy recovery periods.
Internal Injuries
Damage to vital organs can have life-threatening consequences and may require emergency interventions.
Emotional Trauma
Survivors often experience anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a head-on collision.
Establishing Liability in Head-On Collisions
Determining fault in a head-on collision is critical to building a strong personal injury case. At Dermer Law, we gather evidence to prove liability, including:
Police Reports
Official documentation from law enforcement can provide critical details about the cause of the accident.
Witness Statements
Testimonies from bystanders can help corroborate your account of the events.
Accident Reconstruction
Experts can analyze the crash to determine how and why it occurred.
Driver Behavior
Evidence of distracted driving, intoxication, or speeding can help establish negligence.
