According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 183 deaths and over 7K injuries result from head-on collisions in the course of one single year.
If you have been seriously injured in a head-on accident, it is important that you hire a trial lawyer with the expertise and experience to maximize your chances of getting recovery.
Case EvaluationHead-on collisions often occur when cars travel the wrong way on high-speed divided highways. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, on average, almost 360 deaths occur each year from more than 250 fatal wrong-way collisions, and 22% of all wrong-way collisions are fatal. Though the rarest type of accident, the head-on collision is by far the most life-threatening one. Head-on injuries result in close to 10% of all driver and passenger deaths. Many head-on collisions cause serious injuries and in too many cases, they result in fatalities.
A head-on collision is a specific type of frontal impact collision that occurs when the front ends of two motor vehicles collide. Since these accidents usually involve vehicles traveling at high speeds, more people are killed in head-on collisions than in any other type of accident. In a general sense, the majority of collisions are caused by one or more of the following:
Head-on collisions are a form of severe accidents, and identifying the party at fault involves serious preparation and analysis of the case. Sean M. Cleary, an experienced Miami-based attorney, can be of aid to you in recovering damages if you or someone you love was injured in a head-on collision.
For people injured in a head-on collision, recovery can be long and painful. Victims of a head-on accident who have been seriously injured by a negligent driver, need to be paid a recovery that is sufficient to compensate for their inability to earn income and to provide them with long-term care when needed.
A car accident lawyer can help injured individuals maximize their chances of getting a recovery that will reflect not only economic losses but non-economic ones as well:
If a person died in a head-on crash caused by another driver, family members are entitled to file a wrongful death claim.

Injuries from a head-on collision can vary determined by factors such as the physical attributes of the vehicles involved, the speed at which the vehicles were going, and their safety features. Like any other type of crash, these injuries can be severe and sometimes result in permanent disability or even death:
These types of injuries might need to be treated for very long periods of time or even for the rest of the person’s life. Consequently, the victim will need to be able to have access to the financial resources their condition would require.
Usually, the driver at fault is the one who is in the wrong lane, traveling in the wrong direction, or swerving his or her car, either intentionally or accidentally, in front of another car, truck, or motorcycle. In many cases, the driver of the vehicle who causes the accident will be cited for a traffic violation. However, it is not necessary for the drivers to receive a citation for the accident for them to be held liable for the crash and the injuries it caused. If it’s difficult to determine who was at fault from the crash scene, then we will bring in an accident reconstruction expert to identify the responsible party.
Florida is a comparative liability state, meaning that your negligence is not a bar to recovery for your injuries. In other words, if you were 80% at fault for the accident, then you could still recover 20% of your damages from the other party.
