Head-On Car Accident Injuries
Head-on car accidents typically involve vehicle to vehicle incidents, but sometimes a vehicle will crash head first into a fixed-object. These kinds of accidents can cause severe injuries to the driver and the vehicle occupants. Depending on the rate of speed of the vehicle, the accident can be fatal.
Usually head-on collisions occur because of distracted driving, inability to control the car, tired drivers, wrong passing technique, driver under the influence, the weather, and failure to abide by the rules of road. The typical injuries sustained in such collisions include head injury, contusions, cuts, whiplash, airbag burn, neck injury, damage to internal organs. Injuries can increase in severity if the victim was not wearing a seatbelt which could cause the passenger to be thrown from the vehicle.
A head-on collision will require a Massachusetts personal injury attorney to contract with reconstruction experts to determine what happened and who or what was at fault. If you have been injured and suspect that a third party is at fault, please call the Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers at (617) 777-7777 to get your case started.
