Head-on Collisions
Cars can collide in many different ways, but some of the most dangerous accidents occur when the fronts of two cars collide, which is known as a head-on collision. The force of impact in a head-on collision is greatly increased, and therefore, the injuries sustained in these accidents can be severe.
If you or your loved one has been injured in a head-on collision caused by another party, you may be entitled to compensation. To learn more about filing a lawsuit, contact the Waukesha car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. today at 800-242-2874.
Causes of Head-on Collisions
Reckless driving is overwhelmingly the largest cause of head-on collisions. The following are some of the mistakes made by irresponsible drivers that could result in an accident:
- Crossing the center line
- Passing negligently
- Disobeying traffic signs
- Going the wrong way on a one way street
Negligence on the part of road crews and construction companies may also be responsible for these accidents. Incorrect traffic signs or road defects may cause lane departures that result in collisions.
Consequences of Head-on Collisions
Individuals involved in head-on collisions often suffer from devastating injuries, including head and brain injuries, spine injuries, broken bones, and lacerations. Luckily, these devastating accidents only make up about one in fifty car accidents. However, they are responsible for one in ten car crash fatalities.
