Overview of the Stewart J. Guss Firm

Why Head-On Collisions Are So Dangerous

When two vehicles collide in a frontal collision, their speeds combine upon impact. For example, if both cars travel toward each other at 50 mph, the impact speed becomes 100 mph. The higher speed upon collision often results in traumatic injuries to those inside the vehicles. For specific advice and assistance determining your next steps after suffering an injury in a head-on accident, contact an experienced car accident lawyer right away. The Houston head-on collision attorneys at Stewart J. Guss Injury Lawyers are here to offer a no-cost evaluation of your claim and advise you on your rights and options to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver. 

Common Causes of Head-On Collisions

Understanding the common causes of head-on collisions can help drivers take precautions to avoid such dangerous situations. Here are some of the typical factors that contribute to these accidents:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers using mobile phones, adjusting their radios, or engaging in other distracting activities often lose focus on the road.
  • Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment increases the likelihood of reckless driving behavior.
  • Exceeding Speed Limits: Speeding reduces the driver’s ability to react to traffic or road condition changes.
  • Wrong-Way Driving: Mistakes made when entering highways or one-way streets can result in dangerous head-on conflicts.
  • Fatigued Driving: Drowsiness impairs judgment and reaction times, increasing the chance of drifting into oncoming traffic.

Evidence Collected by an Injury Lawyer After a Head-On Crash

After a head-on collision, your injury lawyer will gather essential evidence to build a strong case. This evidence may include the following:

  • Police reports provide official documentation of the accident, including details of the incident and any citations issued.
  • Witness statements provide unbiased perspectives on the events leading up to the collision.
  • Photographs of the scene collect evidence such as vehicle damage, road conditions, and any relevant traffic signs or signals.
  • Medical records document the injuries, treatment received, and medical bills, which help establish the accident’s impact on your health and finances.
  • Vehicle damage estimates detail the extent of damage to the vehicles involved, supporting claims regarding repair costs and value.
  • Crash reconstruction reports illustrate how the accident occurred, including speed and impact angles.
  • Surveillance footage from nearby cameras may have captured the incident, providing clear visual documentation of the crash.
  • Insurance correspondence includes any offers made and their justification.

Collecting this evidence is crucial in demonstrating liability and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
