Head On Car Accident Lawyers in New York

The Risk of Head-On Car Accidents

Every day there are numerous head-on car accidents which most commonly occur at intersections. Since these accidents often involve a great impact, they account for a higher percentage of fatalities than most other types of car accidents. Oftentimes, an innocent driver is operating his or her car through an intersection with the intention of going straight. An inattentive driver coming from the opposite direction negligently makes a left-hand turn, striking the car which had the right of way. Head-on car accidents also occur because of a driver’s inattentiveness, their failure to obey the rules of the road and stop at red lights, stop signs, yield signs, or due to the driver’s intoxication. Freeway head-on car accidents are particularly dangerous due to the high speed of the vehicles. The high-speed nature of these accidents often results in a high percentage of catastrophic and life-altering injures. Moreover, despite the fact that an innocent driver or passenger may be wearing a seat belt, the force of the impact from a head-on collision is regularly so great that the seat belt simply does not offer sufficient protection. Further, there have been numerous reported incidents of airbags failing to deploy.
