Common Causes of Head-On Collisions in Texas

Head-on collisions frequently occur on Texas roads, often due to distracted driving, impaired driving, and poor road conditions. Distracted driving includes texting, talking on the phone, or eating while driving. Impaired driving involves being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Poor road conditions, such as narrow lanes or bad weather, can also lead to these serious accidents.

Drivers may unknowingly drift from their lane or enter a one-way street incorrectly, causing collisions with oncoming traffic.

Injuries from Head-On Collisions

Victims of head-on collisions often suffer severe injuries, including:

  • Facial Injuries: Impact can lead to broken bones, bruises, and cuts, even with airbags deployed.
  • Back, Neck, and Spinal Injuries:These can range from soft tissue damage to spinal cord injuries, causing chronic pain and mobility issues.
  • Head Injuries: Ranging from concussions to traumatic brain injuries, these can have long-term effects or be fatal.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Bruises and sprains can require surgery and lead to ongoing pain.
  • Orthopedic Injuries: Fractures and joint injuries often need surgical intervention and rehabilitation.

Many head-on collisions can be fatal, potentially leading to wrongful death claims.

How to Receive Compensation After a Head-On Collision

If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a head-on collision, you may file an insurance claim against the responsible driver. Texas follows modified comparative negligence rules, allowing you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault.

If the other driver is mainly at fault, their insurance may cover your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases of wrongful death, you can file a claim on behalf of your loved one. Consulting a head-on collision lawyer can clarify your rights as a victim.

Why Should You Hire a Head-on Collision Attorney for Your Case?

Recovering from a head-on collision can be overwhelming. An attorney can manage paperwork and communications with the insurance company, allowing you to focus on healing and family. They will fight for your interests and seek maximum compensation on your behalf, including in wrongful death cases.
