Head-On Collision Accidents in Florida | Personal Injury Lawyer

Head On Collisions

Head-on accidents most commonly occur at the intersections of roads and streets and on freeways. Head-on collisions only account for approximately two (2%) percent of all accidents; however, they cause approximately 10% of all car accident fatalities.

Head-on collisions on the highway/freeway are especially dangerous because of the high rate of speed. Head-on accidents at intersections are more likely to occur when negligent drivers do not obey traffic signals such as red lights, stop signs, or yield signs. Head-on accidents that are caused by a careless driver running a red light are likely to cause more serious injuries due to the faster speeds of the vehicles traveling through the intersection.

Over 100 deaths occur each day in the United States as the result of car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. For obvious reasons, high speed accidents are most often more dangerous than low speed head on accidents. Injuries that may happen in head on accidents include:

  • Head Injuries,
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI),
  • Spine injuries, such as a bulging or herniated disc,
  • Nerve damage, such as a pinched nerve,
  • Fractured bones, including broken arms, legs, hips, shoulders, pelvis, and collar bones,
  • Soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash,
  • Burn injuries,
  • Cuts and lacerations, and
  • Death.
