How Much Is My Head-on Collision Worth?

  • The severity of the injuries and the amount of medical expenses incurred
  • The amount of lost wages and future earning potential
  • Other factors such as pain and suffering

Types of Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions occur when vehicles traveling in opposite directions crash into each other, frequently on rural highways and at intersections:

  • A lane departure collision occurs when a driver fails to stay in their lane and crosses into oncoming traffic.
  • A wrong way collision occurs when a driver enters a roadway traveling in the wrong direction.
  • A crossing over collision occurs when a driver tries to turn left at an intersection and misjudges the distance or speed of an oncoming vehicle.

Common Causes of Head-On Collisions

There are several factors that can contribute to head-on collisions:

  • Distracted driving
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or drunk driving
  • Speeding
  • Poor road conditions including inclement weather, poorly maintained roads, or construction

Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of car accidents and often result in catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
  • Whiplash
  • Broken bones
  • Internal organ damage
