Understanding the Risks in a Head-On Collision

Head-on collisions carry significant risk to the victim. A vehicle coming at you at the speed limit or higher that does not stop can cause traumatic injuries, including:

• Head injuries: Traumatic brain injuries, concussions, and fractures
• Spinal injuries: Damage to the spinal cord and column, leading to paralysis or never damage
• Broken bones: Some accidents cause complex fractures or lead to amputations because limbs are too damaged
• Disfigurement: Scarring and amputations are two common areas here
• Lacerations: Deep wounds to soft tissues and muscles can lead to chronic pain as well as loss of mobility
• Internal organ injuries: Damage to any organ due to the impact of the accident

Head-on collision risks are high, and they may even be fatal. Because of the complexity of these risks, it is critical to hire a legal team ready to fight for you. In Boulder in 2023, 3 people lost their lives, and 415 non-fatal injuries took place from crashes. Let us be there to fight for you.

Determining Fault in a Head-On Collision

Police responding to the accident may determine fault by using evidence at the scene to better understand what occurred and why. Understanding this is critical as it determines who must pay for the injuries. Many head-on collisions are due to factors such as:

• Speeding
• Fatigue and falling asleep at the wheel
• Impairment
• Distracted driving causes one driver to cross the centerline
• Mechanical failure, such as loss of steering
• Reckless driving
• Taking turns too fast

When incidents like this occur, victims must gather all available evidence to substantiate fault. This includes evidence from the scene, witness statements, and accident reconstruction services. We also use evidence from videos of the area, black box data if available, and any closed-circuit television or traffic cameras.
