What are the leading causes of head-on collisions?
Most head-on car accidents are caused by driver error or negligence. Some of the most common reasons people are hit head-on include:
- Texting While Driving
- Drunk Driving or Driving Under the Influence
- Speeding
- Illegal Passing
- Not Driving for Weather Conditions (e.g., ice, snow, rain, fog)
- Driving the Wrong Way Down a One-Way Road or Highway Ramp
- Falling Asleep at the Wheel or Fatigued Driving
- Poor Vehicle Maintenance
- Failure to Obey Traffic Control Signals
Head-on collisions typically occur on rural roads with little traffic. They are also common on highway ramps and in construction zones.
The serious impact of head-on collision injuries
Because of the combined force of two vehicles, head-on collisions can cause severe injuries, especially at high speeds. You might be experiencing neck pain, brain injury symptoms, broken bones, and other serious injuries. The cost of a head-on crash can be substantial, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses.
Unfortunately, that also means the insurance company has an incentive to pay you as little as possible. It’s often unclear what happens in a head-on collision; witnesses may not agree on which car was going the wrong way, and physical evidence at the scene may be ambiguous.
In Florida, if you are found more than 50 percent at fault, you cannot recover, so the stakes are high when it comes to determining who caused the collision.
That’s why you need an experienced head-on collision attorney to advocate for your rights throughout the process.
