Head-on collisions are the most devastating type of car accidents. Many drivers and passengers do not survive. That leaves loved ones to carry the emotional and financial burden. While no amount of compensation can really ever heal your loss, the Law Offices of Edward A. Shamis, Jr., J.D., P.C. in Slidell, Louisiana may help you ease the financial stress in the aftermath.
Facts about Head-On Collisions
The physics of head-on collisions makes them the deadliest type of car accident. In many cases, head-on collisions are completely preventable because they result purely from one driver’s negligence. Statistics show that most head-on collisions occur:
- During daylight hours
- During fair weather
Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of head-on collisions. Sadly, it is often the good driver that is most severely injured or killed.
Recovering from a Head-On Collision
If you were fortunate enough to survive a head-on collision, you may be entitled to compensation to recover damages such as:
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Medical expenses, including long-term care
- Lost wages
Although money will not restore your quality of life, you may seek recovery for pain and suffering, disability and loss of enjoyment of life.
In the event that a head-on collision was fatal, the loved ones of the victims may seek financial recovery. A wrongful death claim may include additional compensation for loss of companionship.
