Common Injuries Caused by Head-On Collision Accidents

Head-on collisions are extremely dangerous and often deadly.

According to recent data from the National Safety Council (NSC), head-on collisions accounted for about 3 percent of accidents between vehicles but 29 percent of vehicular deaths in one recent year.

Nearly half of all head-on collisions that year resulted in injuries or death.

Head-on collisions can result in various injuries depending on several factors, including the speed of the vehicles, where the accident victim is sitting, and the safety features in use at the time of the accident.

Common injuries suffered from head-on collisions include the following:

Fractures
Severe lacerations
Burns
Facial injuries
Internal injuries and bleeding
Crushed limbs
Cracked ribs
Strained or torn muscles
Torn ligaments or tendons
Other soft tissue injuries
Puncture wounds
Concussions
Whiplash
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal injuries, such as a slipped disc
Paralysis

Proving Fault in a Durham Head-On Collision Case

To pursue compensation after a head-on collision, you must prove that the other driver was at fault for the accident and directly caused your injuries.

This is especially important in North Carolina, where an accident victim who is found to have any responsibility at all for the accident cannot get compensation.

It’s crucial to work with a skilled head-on collision attorney who understands the laws in North Carolina and has successfully recovered compensation in these difficult cases. Your lawyer will investigate your case, gather any evidence, and try to prove that the other driver’s negligent actions caused the accident.

Some examples of negligent behavior that can lead to head-on car accidents in Durham include the following:

Distracted driving, such as texting while driving
Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or certain medications
Disobeying traffic signs or signals
Speeding
Not yielding to oncoming traffic
Violating the rules of the road

The location of a head-on collision can also provide important clues about what happened.

Whether a crash occurs on US-15/501 in Southwest Durham, near Shannon Road and University Drive, or elsewhere in Durham, an investigation may involve examining the roadway, vehicle damage, witness accounts, and other evidence to determine how the collision occurred and who was responsible.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Head-On Car Accident?

How long it may take you to recover from a head-on car accident depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the quality of your medical treatment and recovery care, and your overall support network.

To help your healing, you should take the following steps after a head-on collision:

Seek medical care immediately — Even if you feel fine after a head-on car accident, you should still seek medical care immediately. Some injuries may take time to become symptomatic. A medical professional can identify the signs of serious injuries and address them before your condition worsens. You’ll also create a record of your injuries and their connection to the accident, which can be useful for your case.
Work with a recovery team — Having the right team of recovery professionals is critical to your prognosis. You may need treatment from a doctor specializing in a specific type of injury, such as an orthopedist or spine surgeon. Later, you may need to work with a physical therapist to help your recovery and improve your range of motion. A mental health therapist can address the emotional aspects of a serious injury.
Take care of yourself — You can aid your physical and mental recovery by eating healthy, exercising as instructed by your physical therapist, getting plenty of rest, and participating in your favorite activities.
Lean on your support system — Recovering from a head-on collision can be physically, emotionally, and mentally tough. Lean on your family and friends to get you through these difficult times. Your support system could also include at-home aides to help you around the house if your injuries make daily chores difficult.
Consult an experienced lawyer — Your car accident lawyer can also be a key part of your support system. By working with a head-on collision lawyer, you will save yourself the added stress of working on your accident case yourself. You can also benefit from their experience and track record of success.
Give yourself time — Head-on collisions can be devastating. Be patient with yourself. Give your body the time it needs to heal.
