Dallas Head On Collision Attorney

What Is A Head-On Collision?

The consequences of any car accident can profoundly affect the lives of the driver and passengers involved. However, a head-on collision, where the fronts of two vehicles collide with each other when traveling in different directions, has a greater likelihood of catastrophic injuries and even death. Even with increases in vehicle safety features such as airbags and crumple zones, head-on collisions can still inflict life-changing injuries on the victims.

At Jerry D. Andrews, P.C., we know how devastating the result of a head-on collision can be and are ready to help victims and their families seek the compensation they deserve. We will pursue damages from the responsible party, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In cases of more severe injuries, the medical bills, rehabilitation, long-term care, and other costs can be even more substantial. Let us handle the details of your case so that you can focus on your recovery.

Farmers Branch Head-On Car Accident Injury Lawyer

Head-on collisions are often caused by one driver mistakenly driving into oncoming traffic. Factors can include drunk driving, distracted driving, poor visibility, and poor or missing signage. Due to your momentum, your body keeps moving forward after the collision, often impacting against the front of the vehicle. In most modern vehicles, airbags lessen the impact, but injuries are still common. At higher speeds, severe injuries and death can still result.

Common injuries sustained in head-on collisions include:

• Facial lacerations, broken bones, and other head injuries
• Whiplash
• Neck and back injuries, including spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
  
• Traumatic brain injuries

The most severe head-on collisions can be fatal. We will aggressively advocate for the family of the victim of a wrongful death accident.

Damages for head-on collision accidents can include medical bills, medications, rehabilitation, physical therapy, lost wages, vehicle repairs, as well as non-economic damages, including pain and suffering. In wrongful death cases, the victim's family can also pursue compensation for loss of consortium, lost salary and benefits, and funeral and burial expenses.

In many car accident cases, insurance companies are quick to offer a settlement. If it is in your best interest, we will help you settle your case in an expeditious manner. However, if the settlement is not adequate, we will pursue a trial to obtain the compensation you deserve.
