Head On Collisions in Florida Car Accidents

All Florida car accidents are harmful and potentially traumatic. However, some are more dangerous than others. The most dangerous types of wrecks include those with trucks, with children involved, and those with head on collisions.

Head on collisions are an especially dangerous type of Florida car accident. These crashes are particularly harmful because the force of both cars come together to contribute to the severity of the wreck, rather than one car hitting another, as is the case with Florida rear end car accidents or Florida side impact car accidents.

Head on collisions can occur at nearly anytime, especially when these occur:

• Drivers are distracted

• Drivers are drunk or drowsy

• Road conditions are slippery

• Visibility is low (as in nighttime or fog)

Head on collisions usually result in the serious injury of one or both parties involved. Many of these injuries can lead to long term disability or even death. Drivers and passengers can suffer:

• Broken bones

• Dislocations or sprains

• Neck or back injuries

• Head or brain injuries

If you or a loved one has been injured in a head on collision that was not your fault, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation from the negligent driver. These damages can cover your medical bills, physical therapy, lost wages, and pain or emotional suffering.
