Head-On Collisions Can Occur Because of Driver Negligence
Most people are aware that head-on collisions are particularly dangerous. When two vehicles are moving toward one another, their respective speeds work together to increase the force of the impact. This could cause more serious injuries or even death.
Head-on collisions are frequently preventable. Roads and traffic patterns are designed to prevent them, and usually, one or both drivers involved have to violate traffic laws to cause a head-on collision. There are several specific ways this type of accident may happen:
- One driver crosses the centerline on a two-lane road
- One driver goes the wrong way on a one-way road
- One driver gets on the wrong side of a divided highway or interstate
- One driver crosses the median on a divided highway or interstate
- One driver makes an improper pass on a two-lane road and collides with oncoming traffic
While some of these situations can occur because of a mistake or error in judgment, they can occur because of reckless behavior. This could include:
- A driver who is drunk or drugged
- A driver who is using their phone or otherwise distracted
- A drowsy or fatigued driver
- A driver who falls asleep behind the wheel
- An aggressive driver or driver with road rage

Building a Head-on Collision Car Accident Case
To recover compensation for the damages you endured in your Roswell accident, we may need to prove that the at-fault driver acted negligently. Proving negligence may require showing:
- The driver had a legal obligation to stay in their lane or to drive in another way to avoid a collision.
- The driver failed to do so.
- The driver’s actions caused a collision.
- You suffered injuries and financial losses as a result of the accident.
Our team knows what types of evidence may prove these factors to an insurance company or a judge. With a Roswell head-on collisions lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers on your side, you can focus on recovering and putting your life back to normal instead of your legal case.
To build your case, the evidence we collect may include:
- The traffic accident report filed by a responding officer
- Witnesses statements
- Any video or photos of the accident
- Accident reconstruction expert testimony
- Other expert testimony as required
- Your relevant medical records
- Documentation of your damages
With this evidence, we can demand a just payout based on your damages. The at-fault driver’s insurance company may negotiate a fair settlement, and we may be able to reach an agreement out of court. If they refuse, we can take your case to trial.
