Common Injuries Related to Head-On Collisions

When two four-ton vehicles crash head-on at just about any speed, you can expect serious injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injury

The force of impact in a head-on collision, paired with the sudden stop, thrusts car passengers’ heads and necks forward and back and sometimes side to side.

According to Brainline.org, in closed head injuries that result from car accidents such as these, the brain collides at high velocity with the skull. This can bruise brain tissue tear blood vessels.  More often than not, the frontal and temporal lobes are damaged.

Other Common Injuries

• Spinal injuries
• Neck injuries
• Catastrophic Injuries
• Broken bones
• Paralysis
• Whiplash

Statistics show that only 2% of crashes are head-on collisions, but these collisions account for over 10% of driving-related fatalities. If a family member passed away as the result of a head-on collision caused by a negligent driver, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit in civil court. Zanes Law is here to help you through this challenging time.

Why Head-On Collisions Happen

Despite the relatively low incidence of head-on collisions, because of their disastrous outcomes, even one such accident is one too many. When you consider the fact that two cars are heading directly at one another, the question of how these accidents happen becomes a pressing one.

For the driver who is not at fault for the collision (the one who was driving in the lane he was supposed to be driving in), the moment of seeing an oncoming car is riddled with shock and confusion, and every few options for avoiding an accident. It is truly a moment of helplessness.

As for the negligent driver who veered off his or her designated course and into the path of an innocent driver, this action can be explained in a few ways.

• The driver was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. At nighttime, especially, when alcohol and drug use increases, the darkness of the night further impairs the visibility of a driver who is already not seeing things as he or she should.
• The driver was driving while distracted, whether by a mobile phone conversation, sending or reading a text, changing the radio station, applying make-up, or even just talking to fellow passengers. A driver needs to only take his or her eyes off the road for a second to lose momentary navigational control with lifelong effects.
• Perhaps a new driver who is unfamiliar with the roads enters a one-way street going the wrong way. All it takes is one driver being on that other street for disaster to follow.
• A person who drives when tired is prone to make many mistakes they would not make when fully alert. When a driver is particularly tired or sleepy, his or her eyes might close, entirely unbeknownst to the driver. If the sound of the oncoming car’s horn does not jolt the driver awake, the impact and sound of the crash will do the job.
• Maybe the negligent driver did nothing wrong, but his or her brakes suddenly lock, sending the car out of control, head-on into oncoming traffic. Even though the driver did not drive inappropriately, it was his or her responsibility to maintain the car for safety on the roads.

In each of the above situations, the driver whose negligence caused the head-on collision is liable for the other driver’s damages. Our team of head-on collision lawyers in Phoenix will gather the evidence that proves this liability.
