What Is a Head-On Collision?

A head-on accident is when the front of one motor vehicle strikes the front of another motor vehicle. Head-on collisions are among the most serious motor vehicle accidents and often result in severe injuries or death due to the amount of forces involved when two heavy, moving objects collide. Although they account for only two percent of all accidents, they cause 10% of all car accident fatalities.

A head-on collision typically occurs when a motor vehicle crosses a centerline or a median and crashes into an approaching vehicle. A head-on collision can also occur when the driver of a motor vehicle intentionally or unintentionally travels in the wrong direction down a road. There are a variety of other ways in which a head-on collision can occur including, distracted driving, driving while intoxicated, passing on a two-lane road, suddenly changing lanes due to construction or a stopped vehicle, roadway defect, vehicular malfunction, and excessive speed/loss of control. Head-on collisions on highways are particularly dangerous as a result of the high speed of the vehicles involved.

What Are the Most Common Injuries Sustained in Frontal Crashes?

Despite the fact that head-on collisions occur infrequently, when they do occur the injuries sustained are often catastrophic or fatal. Because of the magnitude of the forces involved, occupants of motor vehicles involved in a head-on collision can sustain serious head and brain injuries or spinal cord injuries resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia. Other injuries seen with head-on collisions involve fractures to bones throughout the body and other types of internal injuries.The weight and speed of the vehicles involved has a significant bearing on the damage sustained in a head-on collision accident. In cases involving a truck or other heavy vehicle drifting into the opposite lane of travel due to sleep deprivation, intoxication or distracted diving, the impact with a standard passenger vehicle will typically result in terrible, life-altering injuries to the occupants of the passenger vehicle or even death. It is critical that an attorney have a strong understanding of the physics involved in a head-on collision and how the speed/weight differential affects the severity of the impact and resulting injuries.

How to Choose a Lawyer If I Was Injured in a Head-On Collision?

If you or a loved one suffered injury or died in a head-on collision you want to make sure that you choose a car accident lawyer in NYC that regularly litigate head-on collision accident cases and has intimate knowledge of the potential causes of these types of accidents.

I met Diana Carnemolla and Howard S. Hershenhorn during the darkest time of our lives, when my husband was in a coma with very little chances to survive, due to a car accident. The compassion and professionalism that they showed myself and my family during such a difficult time combined with an incredible willingness to get the best results for us have shown us that we had made the absolute best choice. They not only fought extremely hard for what proved to be a very difficult case, but they also emotionally helped us through this incredible ordeal and have been a caring advocate for our family and our case. They got us the best results we could have expected given the circumstances and didn't give up when things got more challenging. We would absolutely recommend their Law Firm to handle the toughest of cases while providing such a great deal of personal support. Diana proved to be personally invested in our case ultimately seeking the best outcome for our family. We cannot thank them enough for what they have done for us. V.P.

"I’m very impressed by the professional services of this law firm Gair Gair Conason. Most importantly Diana M.A. Carnemolla, Esq. She performed impeccable work ethics and professionalism whole time throughout, with her constant follow ups and communication skills, for that I’m very appreciative of. August 2020, my mother was in a horrific car accident. I contacted Gair Gair Conason to handle my mother's case. Everyone at the firm who helped us with the case did such a fantastic job with being so efficient. We could not have been more satisfied with the services we received. Diana M.A. Carnemolla, Esq. was so fast, quick answer for every question that we asked and gave us honest information about the possibilities concerning the case. She resolved our case much faster that I would expect. Thank you so much! I am very happy with this law firm. Especially the outcome from it all and how easy they helped make it be for us. We had a tough case to fight regarding the incident with the other driver, thankfully it all worked out in my mothers best interest. Diana M.A. Carnemolla helped us settle our case easily, helped us get out of it with a much needed win. I’m surprised it wasn’t as bad of experience as I thought it would be. We were pretty worried in the beginning with much thanks to this team they’ve helped solve this for my mother and put much of my worries as well as my mothers to ease. Thank you again from my family to your whole team for an awesome job!! I would highly recommend this law office to anyone in need of outstanding representation." K.C.
