Head-On Collision Accidents
According to the statistics found by the Fatal Analysis Reporting System, 18% of all fatal car accidents are head-on collisions. The injuries sustained in a head-on collision can be disastrous and fatal, especially when a high rate of speed or a large vehicle is involved.
Avrek Law Firm’s auto accident attorneys have more than 50 years of combined experience and know-how to pursue damages and compensation for your claim.
How Do Head-On Collisions Occur?
Typically, a head-on collision occurs when a car crosses over the center line of the roadway or a median, and collides with an oncoming vehicle. Most head-on collisions result from some level of driver inattention or negligence, including:
- Unsafe passing maneuvers
- Entering a curve with too much speed, causing the vehicle to swerve into oncoming traffic
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Debris or a stopped vehicle in the road, causing the vehicle to quickly change lanes
- Inattention to signs and traffic signals resulting in wrong-way driving
- Distracted driving
- Falling asleep at the wheel
- Bad weather conditions that could send a car of out control
Drivers make common mistakes that could lead to head-on collisions, including wrong-way driving and turning into oncoming traffic. If the driver and passengers are not wearing seatbelts, or if airbags fail to deploy, injuries from a head-on collision can be critical and are often fatal.
