What is a head-on collision?

A head-on crash happens when the front ends of two vehicles collide while driving in opposite directions. These types of car accidents typically happen at high speeds and can result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. Head-on crashes can involve:

  • Two cars
  • A car and a truck
  • A car and a motorcycle
  • A car and a pedestrian or bicyclist

No matter the situation, the damage is often severe. This is why it is so important to have a skilled attorney who can investigate these crashes and hold the right parties responsible.

What are the common causes of head-on collisions in Miami?

There are various reasons why head-on crashes happen here in Miami and throughout the state. Some of the most common causes can include:

  • Texting, talking on the phone, using a GPS, or eating while driving can cause a driver to drift into oncoming traffic without realizing it. Distracted drivers are dangerous to everyone on the road.
  • Drunk or drugged drivers often lose control of their vehicles or drive the wrong way down a street or highway.
  • Fatigued drivers can fall asleep at the wheel, causing them to cross the center line and crash into oncoming traffic.
  • Drivers who are speeding or take curves too fast can lose control of their vehicles and veer into oncoming lanes.
  • Rain, fog, or poorly marked roads can make it difficult for drivers to see where they are going, especially at night.
  • Wrong-way accidents are particularly dangerous. These typically involve a driver who enters a highway going the wrong direction, usually due to intoxication, confusion, or poor signage.

At Hickey Law Firm, our Miami car accident lawyers dig deep into every case to determine exactly what went wrong and who should be held accountable.

“FIGHTING FOR YOU™”. It’s not just a slogan. It’s who we are and what we do.

What types of injuries happen in Miami head-on collisions?

The sheer force of a head-on crash can cause life-changing injuries. Some of the most common include the following:

These types of injuries will require long-term medical care, physical therapy, or even permanent disability support. And, the physical pain is only part of the story – the emotional and financial burden of such an accident can be just as substantial. This is why hiring an experienced lawyer is so important. You need someone who understands the full impact the accident has had on your life and can fight to get you every dollar you deserve for your damages.

Head-on crashes and wrongful death claims

Tragically, many head-on collisions are fatal. If your loved one was killed in a Miami head-on crash, we can help you file a wrongful death claim. This compensation can cover:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of income and financial support
  • Loss of companionship and guidance
  • Emotional pain and suffering

We understand that no amount of money can replace someone you love. However, a successful wrongful death claim can provide financial support and a sense of closure and justice.

Who can file a claim after a Miami head-on collision?

At Hickey Law Firm, we represent all types of accident victims. No matter how the crash happened, if someone else caused it, we are here to help you hold them responsible.

What should I do after a head-on crash in Miami?

If you have been involved in a head-on collision, take the following steps to protect yourself and your legal claim:

  • Call 911. Always report the accident and get emergency help if needed.
  • Seek medical attention. Even if you think you feel fine, some injuries do not show up until hours or days later.
  • If you’re able, take pictures of the crash scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
  • Ask anyone who saw the collision for their contact details.
  • Stick to the facts when talking to the police or insurance companies.

Finally, contact Hickey Law Firm for skilled legal guidance. The sooner you get an experienced lawyer on your side, the better protected your rights will be.

When you work with Hickey Law Firm, you are not simply hiring a lawyer. You are hiring a team of dedicated legal advocates who truly care about you and your claim. Here’s what we do for every head-on collision case:

  • We dig into the police reports, crash data, photos, video footage, and witness statements. We may also work with accident reconstruction experts to demonstrate exactly how the crash occurred.
  • Proving fault is critical. We work to show that the other driver – or another responsible party – was negligent and caused your injuries.
