New Orleans Head-On Collisions

New Orleans Auto Accident Injury Lawyer

Head-on collisions are catastrophic events that can lead to serious injuries and even death. U.S. statistics show that head-on collisions make up only 2 percent of all crashes but account for nearly 10 percent of all fatal accidents. These types of crashes are often fatal due to the violent nature of the collision. Head-on collisions can result from a variety of different situations. These can occur when a driver is not paying attention and swerves into oncoming traffic. According to the Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 75 percent of head-on crashes occur on rural roads. These head-on collisions occur frequently when one driver tries to pass another on a two-lane highway, does not have enough space to pass, and hits another vehicle in the other lane. Drunk drivers are also another main cause of head-on collisions, and unfortunately, the people injured or killed in these collisions are innocent drivers who do nothing wrong but are injured because of the careless act of the other driver. Oftentimes, the families of these innocent victims of head-on collisions are left to pick up the pieces alone. In these circumstances, don’t be alone; contact Cliff Cardone to get legal assistance in these tragic times.

The injuries resulting from a head-on collision are, more often than not, horrific. These injuries include brain and spinal damage, broken bones and fractures, amputations, and back and neck injuries. Injuries such as these are life-changing events and cause emotional, physical, and financial harm to loved ones and family members. When you are confronted with a head-on collision, there are few options to steer clear of the collision, but there are safety procedures to follow to prevent such a situation. Always drive when you are sober and alert. Drive the speed limit to ensure you have more time to react to hazards and to reduce the potential damage in case of a crash. Also, always wear a seat belt as this has been proven to save lives in a head-on collision.
