Beverly Hills Head-On Collision Lawyer

Have You Been Injured in a Head-On Collision?

Any car accident can be traumatic. However, head-on collisions are especially frightening and can cause significant damage to both vehicles and drivers involved. In the wake of a head-on collision, despite shock and anxiety, you must take certain actions to ensure you are best protected during the claim process.

Navigating these steps on your own can be overwhelming, which is why it’s best to consult with an experienced Beverly Hills personal injury lawyer. If you have been involved in a head-on collision, here are some things to consider.

What Is a Head-on Collision?

Although head-on collisions compose only 2 percent of car accidents, they account for just over 10 percent of fatal car crashes nationwide. A head-on collision occurs when the front ends of two vehicles collide when traveling toward each other. Most commonly, head-on collisions occur when people are driving at extremely high speeds. As a result, most head-on collisions result in injuries of varying degrees. In addition to speed, head-on collisions can also occur as a result of poor weather conditions or intoxicated driving.

The Most Common Injuries After a Head-on Collision

The large majority of head-on collisions will result in injuries or, in many cases, fatalities. In fact, head-on collisions have a 58 percent fatality rate. Passengers who survive head-on collisions often incur life-altering injuries. Some of the most common injuries that are sustained by passengers in a head-on collision include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Whiplash
• Neck and back injuries, such as a herniated disc
• Internal organ damage
• Broken or fractured bones
• Spinal cord injuries

Sometimes, the injuries from a head-on collision have a quick recovery period. However, in most cases, the incurred injuries from this kind of crash have a lifelong impact on the victim’s ability to live a normal life. For example, some of the injuries caused by a head-on collision could affect your ability to gain employment.

Important Steps to Take After a Head-on Collision in California

Car accidents are traumatic. However, after an accident, it is imperative to take certain actions.  If you are involved in a head-on collision, there are important steps you must take to ensure your rights are protected and that you have essential evidence should you choose to pursue legal action. Here are some of the most critical steps to take after a head-on collision:

• Assess the medical injuries of yourself and anyone else involved in the crash. If there are serious injuries, call for medical help immediately.
• Be sure to get contact and insurance information from every person involved in the crash who was operating a vehicle. Additionally, be sure to collect the driver’s license number, plate number, and vehicle type from all parties involved.
• If you can, use your phone to take pictures of the scene, including any damage to your vehicle or any injuries you sustained.
• Report the accident to your insurance company in a timely manner. Prompt reporting helps to ensure you get the best compensation.
• Even if you don’t have apparent injuries, be sure to see a doctor, as some conditions caused by crashes have a delayed onset.

Additionally, partnering with a qualified head-on collision attorney in California can help you get the most favorable outcome in the claims process. An attorney will protect you from insurance companies’ manipulative tactics and help ensure you receive fair compensation.

Damages You May Be Eligible for After a Head-on Collision

If you are involved in a head-on collision, a skilled personal injury lawyer can help you receive compensation for any incurred injuries and damages. Some of the things you may be eligible to receive compensation for after a head-on collision include:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Physical and emotional pain
• Reduced earning capacity
• Vehicle repairs and other property damage

Unfortunately, most insurance companies will try to settle for the lowest amount possible. Working with a personal injury lawyer is the best way to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
