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.

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.

Frequently
Asked Questions

If you, a family member or a friend has suffered a personal injury, contact us today at 310-659-1826 for a free case evaluation. Our experienced team can evaluate the facts of your case, discuss the viable avenues for compensation recovery, and serve as your counsel throughout the personal injury claims process.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This is our "No Recovery, No Fee" promise. Our fee comes as a percentage of the final settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk in speaking with us about your case.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?

In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If your claim is against a government entity, the deadline is much shorter, as you generally have only six months to file a formal claim. Because these deadlines can affect your ability to recover anything, it is best to reach out to us as soon as possible.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

California follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for what happened. Your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault, you can still recover 80 percent of your damages.

What types of cases does Setareh Law handle?

We represent people across California in a wide range of personal injury matters. Our work covers motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, bicycle, pedestrian, bus, and electric scooter cases, as well as premises liability claims, such as slip-and-fall and dog-bite incidents. We also handle construction and workplace accidents, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and insurance bad faith cases.

How much is my case worth?

The value of a case depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and the impact on your daily life. No two cases are the same, so an honest valuation requires a careful review of your specific situation. During a free consultation, we can discuss the details and give you a clearer picture of what your claim may be worth.

Do I really need an attorney, or can I deal with the insurance company myself?

Insurance companies often aim to settle claims quickly and for as little as possible. Having an attorney levels the playing field by handling negotiations, gathering evidence, and protecting you from tactics designed to reduce your payout. With more than 60 years of combined experience and over $250 million recovered for our clients, we know how to pursue the full value of a claim.

What should I do right after an accident?

Your health comes first, so seek medical attention even if your injuries seem minor. After that, try to document the scene with photos, gather contact information from any witnesses, and keep records of your medical care and expenses. Avoid giving recorded statements to the other party's insurer until you have spoken with us.

Does Setareh Law offer services in Spanish?

Yes, we provide bilingual services in both English and Spanish so that language is never a barrier to getting help. Our team is proud to serve California's diverse communities from our eight office locations.
