In 2021, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 42,915 fatal motor vehicle accidents, with at least 10% resulting from front-end collisions. These accidents often cause significant property damage and serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a front-end collision, you may be entitled to compensation. Here’s what you need to know about front-end collision claims in Texas and why hiring an attorney is a smart move.
What Causes Most Front-End Collisions?
Front-end collisions typically occur when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide or when a single vehicle hits an obstacle, like a utility pole.
The main cause is driver error. Factors such as drowsy driving, distraction, speeding, aggressive driving, and intoxication create dangerous situations. Other causes can include manufacturing defects, poor vehicle maintenance, bad weather, and unsafe road conditions.

What Are Common Injuries Caused by Front-End Collisions?
Front-end collisions can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. The severity often depends on vehicle speed, driver reactions, and whether occupants wore seat belts.
The impact can cause violent forward movement, leading to head and neck injuries. Common injuries include whiplash and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), along with cuts, bruises, and soft-tissue damage.
How Can I Get Compensation After a Front-End Collision?
A front-end collision can be traumatic, regardless of fault. Victims often face painful injuries and emotional distress. Compensation usually comes from the at-fault driver’s insurance.
In Texas, you cannot be more than 50% at fault to receive compensation. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation may be reduced based on your level of fault.
Once fault is established, you can file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance. If your policy allows, you might also file with your own insurer for quicker payment, though this may involve a deductible. If the other driver is underinsured or uninsured, consult an attorney to explore legal options.
