Miami Head-On Collisions

When we get into our cars, the last thing on our mind is the risk of collision. But the reality is that each and every time we get into a vehicle, we risk being involved in an accident. However, you can’t live your life avoiding cars and other means of transportation. Here in Miami, there’s so much to do and see – and most people drive cars to and fro. And, let’s be honest, there are a LOT of tourists here who don’t exactly know where they’re going at all times, and can get frazzled when they are lost and are not using the best of judgment when driving.

Perhaps the worst type of motor vehicle accident is a head-on collision. This is because the force of two cars colliding head-first, bumper-to-bumper, is doubled and more impactful than other crashes. Head-on collisions are more dangerous than other motor vehicle accidents, and usually result in more severe injuries as well as death.

Head-on collisions are caused by a variety of reasons, including:

  • Texting while driving
  • Talking on a cell phone
  • Poor judgment when passing
  • Turing a corner at a fast speed
  • Surfing the internet on a mobile device
  • Falling asleep at the wheel
  • Failing to follow road signs, traffic signals
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Unsafe driving during inclement weather
  • Tire blow-outs
  • Construction or altered traffic patterns
  • Losing control of a vehicle
  • Debris, animals or other obstacles in the road

Although these accidents can occur anywhere, the most common place for head-on collisions is at an intersection, typically when a car runs a red light or leaves its lane and crosses a double yellow line or a median, or if the driver is going the wrong way on a one-way street. These types of collisions can have devastating, life-changing consequences for not only those involved, but for their loved ones, as well. In addition to suffering serious injuries, victims of head-on collisions may face financial hardships. A head-on collision can result in lost wages from missed time at work, exorbitant medical bills, physical and emotional pain. If you or a loved one has been involved in a head-on collision due to the negligence of another person, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Common head-on collision injuries include:

  • Brain injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Whiplash
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Lacerations
  • Burns
  • Paralysis
  • Death

Carolyn Frank and her firm represented me on a workers compensation injury case, under the defense base act. She did a excellent job from the moment I contacted her until 3 years later the case was settled. Every benefit I was entitled too, Carolyn fought hard to secure. E-mails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Definitely 5 star rating. Daniel

I can't express how grateful I am for Elizabeth Estrada, attorney, and Elizabeth Cantin, secretary, for all the hard work in order to defend me in my time of need. My lawyer and secretary spent time explaining each step and what was to be expected. Because of this I felt a part of the whole process and understood what was going on. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
