Injured in a Head-On Collision in Las Vegas?

A head-on collision can result in catastrophic or fatal injuries. These preventable disasters are often caused by careless and reckless drivers. If you or a loved one gets injured in a head-on car accident in Las Vegas, you can seek justice and fair financial compensation with help from a skilled Las Vegas car accident lawyer. At Ed Bernstein injury lawyers we will fight for justice on your behalf while you focus on healing. 

What Is a Head-On Car Accident?

A head-on car accident describes a motor vehicle collision where the point of impact is between the front ends of both vehicles. These collisions happen when two vehicles are traveling in opposite directions and crash directly into each other. Head-on collisions often occur at high speeds, causing severe vehicle damage and injuries to the occupants of both cars.

What Causes Most Head-On Collisions in Las Vegas?

A head-on collision is a type of car accident that would not occur if all motor vehicle drivers exercised proper care in driving safely and obeying traffic laws. This type of accident can only take place when a driver is negligent or falls short of the duty of care.

Common scenarios leading to head-on collisions in Las Vegas include:

  • Entering a road or highway going the wrong direction, against the flow of traffic.
  • Drifting or losing control of a car and crossing the center line or median into oncoming traffic. 
  • Attempting to pass or overtake a vehicle when it is not safe to do so.
  • Speeding on a sharp turn, resulting in a driver veering into the opposite lane.
  • Swerving to avoid debris or road hazards, crossing into oncoming traffic.

Driver errors that result in head-on collisions are often fueled by dangerous behaviors, such as distracted driving, texting and driving, driving while impaired, reckless or aggressive driving, speeding or racing, and drowsy driving.

Common Injuries Caused By Head-On Collisions in Nevada

Head-on collisions are among the deadliest types of car accidents due to the amount of force these impacts exert on both vehicles. Common injuries include:

  • Concussions and severe traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis 
  • Back and neck injuries 
  • Multiple bone fractures 
  • Chest and lung injuries 
  • Internal organ damage 
  • Burns and lacerations 
  • Amputations
  • Fatal injuries

The higher the speed of the head-on collision, the greater the odds of life-changing injuries suffered, as speed directly correlates with the force of the impact.

What Are Your Recovery Options After a Head-On Collision?

If you get involved in a head-on car accident in Las Vegas, Nevada’s car insurance laws allow you to seek financial compensation from the insurance provider of the at-fault party. However, you or your car accident attorney must prove fault using evidence. 

You must show that the other driver broke a traffic law or otherwise violated a duty of care and that this caused your accident. Only then may you receive insurance coverage for your medical bills and property repairs from the other driver.

You may also have grounds for a claim against the at-fault driver’s employer if he or she was working at the time of the crash, such as a trucking company, delivery service, or rideshare company. Other possibilities include a claim against a vehicle manufacturer or the government in Las Vegas.
