Injured in a Head-On Collision in Ohio? How to Pursue Compensation.

Few traffic accidents are as devastating as head-on collisions. Because both vehicles are moving at full speed and hitting directly, the crash can cause serious injuries to everyone.

In fact, head-on collisions are a leading cause of death in vehicle crashes, according to the National Traffic Safety Administration.

If you were seriously injured through no fault of your own in this type of wreck, you can pursue justice and financial restoration by filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party or their insurance company.

The financial relief helps with medical bills, lost wages—even payment for the accident’s toll on your mental health.

In total over 40 years, our attorneys have secured more than $500,000,000.00 in awards, benefits and settlements for injured people in Ohio.

We understand the fear and damaging consequences that head-on collisions leave behind. We fight to help you rebuild your life and move forward after injuries from someone else’s negligence.

We want you to be the next to say, “Helping Me. That’s HNB.”

    How Frontal Car Crash Injuries Happen

    When the front ends of two traveling vehicles collide, it’s especially dangerous because the force of impact is double. If both cars travel at 25 miles per hour, the impact force is like crashing at 50 miles per hour into a stationary object.

    In almost all cases, at least one driver in a head-on collision has failed to obey the rules of the road. Some common scenarios include:

    Veering into oncoming traffic. A driver crosses the double yellow line on a two-lane road and hits a car coming the other way.

    Navigating intersections poorly. Ignoring traffic signals at intersections or taking left turns too sharply leads to head-on collisions.

    Going the wrong way on a one-way street. A driver ignores a one-way sign and heads straight into opposing traffic.

    Entering a highway on the exit ramp. A driver goes the wrong way up a highway ramp, heading right into oncoming traffic.

    In Ohio, most head-on collisions happen on narrow rural roads or undivided highways.

    Frontal car crash injuries can be catastrophic. A victim can strike the dashboard or the steering wheel, be thrown from the vehicle, or even be battered by the car flipping over.

    Recovery is a long road with enormous, mounting medical costs. It’s more than anyone can pay. At HNB, we fight for Ohioans who followed the rules and didn’t deserve to be put in this awful—and often avoidable—situation.

    How to Win Head-On Crash Compensation

    The factors that lead to head-on collisions are often similar to causes of other traffic accidents.

    For a successful head-on collision claim, you’ll need to demonstrate situations like these:

    The key to winning a head-on collision claim is showing the other driver was negligent or reckless at the time of the crash. 

    This can be harder than it seems.

    The other driver may deny fault. They may even try to blame you. Insurance companies don’t always help; they often have well-paid teams of lawyers and will do everything they can to avoid paying what you fully deserve.

    It’s also important to know that Ohio is a “comparative negligence” state, meaning the law takes into account the degree of fault by both drivers.

    You’ll need to show that the other driver was over 50 percent at fault to pursue an insurance claim or civil lawsuit against them.

    To fight for compensation after a head-on collision, you need a knowledgeable lawyer who negotiates with insurance companies and is willing to take them to court to get what’s fair for you.
