How Does a Head-On Crash Happen?

A head-on collision can happen any time a driver lets his or her vehicle enter on-coming traffic or begins to turn without first yielding the right-of-way. Many head-on collisions are the direct result of driver negligence. It is common for New Jersey head-on crashes to involve a driver who was asleep at the wheel, excessively speeding, driving distracted or behaving in a manner that was not safe given the roadway, traffic and weather conditions.

Negligent drivers can be held accountable for the damages they caused. Victims of head-on collisions are entitled to compensation if their injuries resulted from the other driver’s careless or reckless behavior. Investigators at the crash site will have to determine what caused the head-on collision, how it could have been prevented and what the at-fault driver was doing moments before the crash. The results of the investigation could have a profound impact on the legal options of the injured victim.

Compensation for NJ Victims and Families

Victims of head-on collisions can pursue compensation for their immediate and future medical bills, including compensation for any surgeries they may require, hospitalization, rehabilitation services, prescription drugs and other related treatments. They can also pursue compensation for their pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of earning potential and other related damages.

When someone has been killed in a head-on collision, it’s possible for their family to seek monetary support for their tragic loss. A civil wrongful death claim against a negligent driver can result in support for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages the victim would have earned, loss of consortium and other related damages.
