Miami Head-on Collision Accidents Attorney

A head-on collision is one of the most dangerous types of accidents a person could be involved in. These accidents can cause very serious injuries that can range from spinal cord injuries or head and brain injuries to death, and victims can take years to fully recover from these injuries. When the front-end of two vehicles collide with each other (often on a road where no median is present), a head-on collision accident occurs. If you or a loved one has been injured in a head-on collision that was caused by the recklessness or negligence of another party, contact this Miami head-on collision accident attorney who can help you hold the responsible parties liable for their carelessness and help you get the full compensation that you deserve.

There are numerous factors that can cause head-on car accidents. Head-on collisions take place most commonly when one vehicle crosses the center line into the lane of oncoming traffic, when the driver enters a highway from the wrong direction or when a vehicle is traveling the wrong way on a one-way street. Taking a curve at an extreme speed can also lead to the car ending up in the wrong lane, and wet or icy road conditions might cause a car to skid into oncoming traffic. Many head-on collisions involve a driver who is impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol or is distracted by texting, surfing the internet or anything else.

When someone falls asleep behind the wheel, head-on collision wrecks can also occur. For example, truck drivers often work for long hours at a time. If they drive for too long, they might be overtired and can fall asleep at the wheel. They are usually only allowed to drive for a certain number of hours for each day.

It is very important that the vehicles caught up in a head-on collision be built safely because the impact of a head-on vehicle accident is usually so severe. It is said that vehicles must be built “crashworthy.” Vehicle crashworthiness refers to a vehicle’s ability to withstand a car accident.

For instance, nowadays vehicles are intended to “crumple” in a car accident. The front of a vehicle must “crumple up” in an attempt to absorb the impact in a head-on collision. If this does not take place, then the impact from the collision might be transferred to the people inside the vehicle. The area of the vehicle in which the people are sitting (or vehicle “cab”) is designed to protect the people in the vehicle and is designed to be affected by the accident as little as possible. This South Florida Head-on Collision Accident lawyer represents clients whose vehicles are determined to not be crashworthy.

Moreover, nowadays vehicles must be designed and manufactured with airbags. Airbags are very important in a head-on vehicle accident. They can make the difference between life and death. You might have a vehicle products liability case against the designer or manufacturer of the vehicle you were riding in if the airbags didn’t deploy in your head-on vehicle accident and this contributed to your injuries. If the front of the vehicle was not properly designed to be crashworthy, then you may also have a case.

Accidents caused by head-on collisions usually involve severe impacts. Sometimes they can cause catastrophic injuries that involve brain bleeds, brain injuries and brain damage. They can also cause all sorts of orthopedic injuries. Head on collision vehicle crashes can tragically result in people living in comas and vegetative states. In some cases, they can also result in people sustaining spinal cord injuries and living with quadriplegia or paraplegia.

These accidents can also cause death. This South Florida Head-on Collision Accident attorney handles all types of tragic death cases. When someone tragically passes away in a head-on vehicle crash, someone else (usually a family member) is selected as the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. When the case finally settles or goes to trial and a verdict/judgment is obtained, the proceeds from the case will go to the decedent’s “survivors” or the beneficiaries of the estate.
