Following is a brief explanation of these two types of accidents:
Head-on Collisions
Head-on collisions are a type of auto accident in which the front of one vehicle strikes the front of another. In Missouri, these types of auto accidents cause more fatalities than any other type. This is mainly because the physical impact on victims during this type of crash is enormous. Drivers who manage to survive such a collision often sustain very serious injuries that may include brain damage, broken bones, bone fractures, organ damage, spinal cord injuries and whiplash. Not surprisingly, the short-term and long-term costs associated with head-on collisions can be substantial.
Hit and Runs
In this type of crash, the other driver (typically the one who was at fault) leaves the accident scene after a collision. Unless the driver can be located, the injured victim will need to ask for compensation from his or her own insurance company. This can prove difficult since insurance companies don't want to pay a penny more than absolutely necessary. Those involved in a hit and run should consult an attorney immediately.
How a Dedicated Auto Accident Attorney Can Help
Depending on the severity of the head-on collision or hit and run, you may be stuck with huge medical bills, need to take time off work and have to undergo rehabilitation and physical therapy. Our Missouri personal injury attorneys will do everything in their power to ensure the other driver or your own insurance company covers all costs so you can focus on getting back on your feet.
