The Role of Drunk Driving in Head-On Collisions

While the risks of intoxicated driving are well-known, some drivers may still choose to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or using drugs. Doing so can be very dangerous, and drunk driving is one of the leading causes of head-on crashes. Drivers who are impaired may drift across a road's centerline and collide with oncoming traffic. They may enter roads or freeway exits while traveling in the wrong direction.

Alcohol and drug impairment will affect a driver's coordination, reaction times, and their ability to make sensible decisions. All of these issues can cause them to take actions that could lead to head-on collisions. Drunk drivers may drive at high speeds, which can make these collisions even more serious.

Other Types of Driver Negligence Leading to Head-On Crashes

In addition to impaired driving, drivers may engage in dangerous behaviors that can cause head-on collisions, including:

Distracted Driving: When looking away from the road to check a phone, adjust vehicle controls, or engage in other activities, drivers may drift out of their lane or put themselves in other situations where they could strike oncoming traffic.
Fatigue: Drowsy drivers can fall asleep while a vehicle is in motion, or they may lose focus while driving. This may lead their vehicles to drift into traffic traveling in the opposite direction.
Unsafe Passing: On two-lane roads, drivers may try to pass other vehicles by entering the other lane. However, when they do so without making sure the road is clear, this can result in a frontal-impact crash.
Speeding Around Curves: Excessive speed on winding roads can cause a driver to lose control and cross into oncoming traffic.
Failure to Obey Road Signs: Ignoring one-way street signs or other traffic control devices can lead to wrong-way driving and head-on collisions.

The Impact of Head-On Collisions on Victims

Head-on crashes often result in severe injuries due to the combined force of two moving vehicles. These may include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, damage to internal organs, severe fractures, amputations, facial injuries leading to disfigurement or vision impairment, and other forms of bodily harm.

In addition to physical injuries, victims often experience emotional trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Many victims will need to adapt to new limitations in their daily lives, including the inability to return to work or perform routine tasks without assistance.

With the help of an experienced lawyer, a victim can take steps to hold a driver responsible for causing a head-on collision, and they can recover financial compensation. Our lawyer can help ensure that the compensation a victim receives will fully address all of the effects of an accident, including the financial losses and the impact on a person's life, emotional state, and relationships with others.
