When head-on collisions occurs, they are devastating events, one of the most severe types of car accidents. Compared to other types of accidents, head-on collisions are relatively rare. They happen most often in rural areas and at high speeds, with little warning or time for the driver in the correct lane to avoid impact. Typical scenarios where head-on collisions occur are:
Head-on collisions can cause severe or catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, bone fractures, cuts and lacerations, and internal injuries. Injuries may range from mild or moderate to permanently disabling or fatal. Head-on collisions frequently cause PTSD, causing victims to relive the accident in nightmares and flashbacks and experience anxiety and depression.
When the negligence of another driver causes an accident, injured victims may be entitled to financial compensation or damages. Damages may include lost earnings due to being unable to work, medical bills and future medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
