Head on Crash
In 2002, there were over 6 million automobile accidents in the United States and over 2.9 million people were injured as a result. Of all motor vehicle accidents, one of the most dangerous and deadly is the head on collision. Injuries from a head on collision can range from spinal cord injuries or head and brain injuries to death and victims can spend years trying to fully recover.
A head on collision is a specific type of frontal impact collision that occurs when the front ends of two vehicles collide. Since these accidents usually involve two vehicles traveling at faster speeds, more people are killed in head on collisions than any other type of accident. While head on collisions can occur anywhere and to anyone, the most common causes are:
- Passing on a highway or two lane road
- Failing to negotiate a curve properly
- Drifting across the center line into traffic
- Snow, ice and other weather conditions
- Swerving to avoid an animal or pedestrian in the roadway
- Texting or using cellphone while driving
- Turning the wrong way down a one way road
- Drunk Driving or Driving while impaired
If you or someone you love was injured in a head on collision, it is important to contact a Missouri car accident attorney immediately to discuss your case. Injuries that result from head on collisions are unfortunately severe and often life changing. Mounding medical bills and uncooperative insurance companies can add unnecessary stress to families and individuals already struggling to put their lives back together after a head on collision. In addition, compensation may be needed to pay for rehabilitation expenses, long term therapy, and lost wages.
