Atlanta Head-On Collision Accident Attorneys
Head-on collisions are some of the deadliest types of car accidents and can severely injure victims or families involved. If
you or a loved one has been injured in a head-on collision, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help ensure you receive the best possible outcome.
What Are Head-On Collisions?
Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide with one another at a high rate of speed. Unlike side-impact or rear-end accidents, head-on collisions often result in greater damage to both vehicles and significantly more severe injuries to passengers due to the combined force of both vehicles impacting each other at once.
Statistics on Head-On Collisions
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), head-on crashes account for only 2% of all car accidents but 10% of crash fatalities. Head-on collisions are also more prevalent on rural roads than city streets and typically involve smaller cars such as compact sedans or SUVs crashing into larger vehicles such as semi trucks or buses.
Lasting Effects of Head-On Collisions
The lasting effects of head-on collisions vary greatly depending on the severity of impact and the type of vehicle involved. Victims may suffer from physical impairments such as paralysis; cognitive impairments such as memory loss; psychological impairments such as depression; and sensory impairments such as hearing loss.
