Top Causes of Dallas Head-On Car Accidents

Driver error causes most, but not all, head-on car accidents. Some of the most common specific causes include:

• Distracted driving. When drivers take their hands off the wheel or their mind and eyes are focused on something other than driving, they are more likely to veer out of their lane and into oncoming traffic.
• Drowsy or fatigued driving. When drivers are sleepy or tired, they are more likely to make errors and may drift out of their lane.
• Drunk or drugged driving. Intoxicated drivers put themselves and everyone on the road at risk of significant harm. Drivers under the influence may have blurred vision, compromised reflexes, and be unable to accurately gauge distance and speed, increasing the chances of causing an accident, such as a head-on car collision..
• Speeding. Speeding drivers have less time to react if another vehicle veers into their lane, or may take curves and turns too quickly, crashing into another vehicle.
• Aggressive driving. When drivers are impatient and aggressively attempt to pass a slower vehicle, they may take unnecessary chances, hoping no other vehicle is coming from behind a curve, or they may think they have time to pass before the oncoming car reaches them.
• Dangerous road design, lack of signage, and malfunctioning traffic signals. Sometimes roads lack proper signage, the design of the road is inherently dangerous, or a traffic light may malfunction, which increases the risk of a head-on accident.
• Defective or negligently maintained vehicle equipment. If parts or equipment are faulty or are negligently maintained, they may fail during use, leading to a crash.

Determining the cause of your head-on car accident is essential to building your strongest case and helping you recover maximum compensation. The experienced Dallas head-on car accident lawyers at Bush & Bush Law Group will thoroughly investigate your accident to help determine all possible causes and all potentially liable parties.

Dallas Head-On Car Accident Injuries

Head-on car accidents account for some of the most catastrophic injuries. Many vehicle occupants will not survive a head-on collision. When not fatal, some of the most common types of injuries caused by Dallas head-on car accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
• Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis.
• Crushed and broken bones.
• Internal bleeding and organ damage.
• Severed limbs.
• Severe burns.
• Neck and back injuries.
• Other disabling injuries.

Many head-on car accident victims are left with injuries that require long-term medical care and may result in lifelong pain and disability. Before accepting a settlement offer, you should ensure that all your current and future damages are considered and accurately valued.

At Bush & Bush Law Group, our attorneys work tirelessly and often consult medical and economic experts to help determine the value of all damages so you know what a fair settlement of your case would be.

Recoverable Compensation in a Dallas Head-On Car Accident Claim

The type and amount of the compensation you may be able to recover in a Dallas head-on car accident claim depend on many factors, including the severity of your injuries. Since head-on crashes typically result in devastating injuries, you need to recover the full value of your damages.

In a successful Dallas head-on car accident claim, you should be able to recover economic and non-economic damages. These damages are considered compensatory damages because they are designed to compensate an injury victim for their losses.

Economic damages include current and future medical expenses, current and future lost wages, property damage, expenses for necessary modifications to your home and vehicle due to your injuries, and other costs likely to be incurred because of your accident and damages.

Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, scarring and disfigurement, and other intangible expenses and losses.

Unlike economic and non-economic damages, which are compensatory, punitive damages are designed not to compensate the injury victim but to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar future behavior.

Punitive damages are also known as exemplary damages. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 41.003 explains that exemplary damages may only be awarded if the claimant proves by clear and convincing evidence that their damages resulted from fraud, malice, or gross negligence.

Our Dallas head-on car accident lawyers fight to recover all types of damages available and to maximize your compensation.

Determining Fault in a Dallas Head-On Car Accident Case

The driver who crossed the lane and into oncoming traffic will generally be held liable for the damages caused by a head-on car accident. However, you must have an experienced attorney investigate your accident to help determine all possible causes and liability.

Some evidence used to help determine liability includes police reports, eyewitness accounts, photographs, video evidence of the crash scene, surveillance video, dashcam video, and event data recorders (EDR) from the vehicles.

Our attorneys often consult experts to help determine and prove liability. We may utilize the expertise of forensic accident reconstructionists and medical experts to provide reports and testimony regarding how an accident and injuries were caused.
