Head-on Collision Accident Attorney

This Fort Lauderdale Head-on Collision Accident Attorney Refuses to Fail

Successfully resolving cases is the hallmark of this Fort Lauderdale Head-on Collision Accident Lawyer. A head-on car accident is one in which the front of one vehicle collides with the front of another vehicle. Because of the serious impact that typically results from head-on car crashes, serious injuries or death frequently occur.

Head-on car wrecks are caused by all sorts of reasons. They typically result when one vehicle leaves its lane of travel and drives into the lane of another vehicle. This can be caused, for example, by drinking or drunk driving. Alcohol has been proven to slow a human being’s reflexes, and this can cause an intoxicated person to drive out of his or her lane of travel.

Head on car accidents can also be caused by distracted driving. It has been proven that distracted driving is even more dangerous and causes even more accidents than drinking and driving. If the driver of a vehicle is texting and driving, looking on Facebook, etc. while driving, he or she can easily drive out of his or her lane of traffic and cause an accident.

Head on car crashes can also result when somebody falls asleep behind the wheel. It is extremely dangerous to drive while overtired, and accidents can result. Truck drivers, for example, frequently work for long hours at a time. If they drive for too long, they may be overtired and can fall asleep at the wheel. Truck drivers are typically expected to keep “drive logs,” wherein they document the number of hours they are on the road versus the time they are resting. They are typically only allowed to drive for a certain number of hours per day.

This Fort Lauderdale Head-on Collision Accident Lawyer Addresses Issue of Vehicle Crashworthiness

Because the impact of a head-on vehicle accident is typically so severe, it is extremely important that the vehicles involved in those collisions be built safe. It is said that vehicles must be built “crashworthy.” Vehicle crashworthiness refers to a vehicle’s ability to withstand a car accident.

For example, vehicles today are designed to “crumple” in a car accident. In a head-on collision, the front of a vehicle should “crumple up” in an effort to absorb the impact. If this doesn’t happen, then the impact from the vehicle could be transferred to the people inside the vehicle. The vehicle “cab” (or area of the vehicle that holds the vehicle occupants) is intended to protect the vehicle occupants and should be impacted by the accident as little as possible. This South Florida Head-on Collision Accident Attorney represents cases where vehicles are proven to not be crashworthy.

Additionally, vehicles today should be designed and manufactured with airbags. In a head-on vehicle crash, airbags are extremely important. They can make the difference between life and death. If airbags didn’t deploy in your head-on vehicle wreck and this contributed to your injuries, you may have a vehicle products liability case against the designer or manufacturer of the vehicle you were driving in. This is also the case if the front of the vehicle wasn’t properly designed to be crashworthy.

This South Florida Head-on Collision Accident Law Firm Discusses Possible Effects from Head-on Collisions

Because head-on vehicle wrecks typically involve severe impacts, they can oftentimes result in catastrophic injuries. These involve brain injuries, brain bleeds and brain damage. They can also result in all sorts of orthopedic injuries. Head on vehicle accidents can tragically lead to people living in comas and vegetative states. They can also result in people sustaining spinal cord injuries and living with paraplegia or quadriplegia.

Head on vehicle accidents can also involve death. This South Florida Head-on Collision Accident Lawyer handles all types of wrongful death cases. When somebody tragically passes away in a head on vehicle crash, somebody else (typically a family member or loved one) is appointed as the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. The personal representative serves as the technical “Plaintiff” and carries on the case on behalf of the decedent. When the case eventually settles or goes to trial and a verdict/judgment is obtained, the proceeds from the case will go to the decedent’s “survivors” or the beneficiaries of the estate.
