Provo Head-On Collision Accident Attorney

About Head On Collisions

A head-on collision occurs when the front two vehicles hit straight on or at an angle.  Even at low speeds the impact can be severe enough to activate airbags that can cause injuries themselves.  When a head-on accident occurs with vehicles travelling average speeds on streets or highways, the result can be devastating.  The force of impact is doubled when you have two vehicles moving towards each other traveling at roughly the same speed.  More people are fatally injured in head-on collision accidents than any other type of motor vehicle accident in our country, including in the Provo area. 

The most common causes of a head-on collision are:

• Passing another vehicle unsafely
• Unable to negotiate a curve due to speed
• A driver crossed the centerline into oncoming traffic due to falling asleep at the wheel, inattention, negligence or DUI
• Road conditions that are poor, icy or wet

Other factors could be present that contributed to a head-on collision.  It is important to secure evidence as quickly as possible following a head-on accident and a Provo car accident attorney can guide you in what actions need to be taken.

Investigating Head-On Collisions

Because of the nature of a head-on collision, witness statements from the parties involved are sometimes impossible to obtain.  A head-on collision accident lawyer with the Zabriskie Law Firm can assist with resources, such as an accident reconstruction specialist, to obtain the facts of the accident.  The apparent circumstances may seem simple.  There may be other factors, however, such as unknown vehicles, vehicle defects, or environmental conditions that could be included as potential contributors to the incident when filing a claim or lawsuit against the liable parties.
