Common Causes of Head-on Collisions in Maryland
Head-on crashes are almost always caused by driver negligence or reckless behavior. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted Driving – Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or adjusting their GPS can drift into oncoming traffic.
- Drunk or Drugged Driving – Impaired drivers often lose control, swerve into the wrong lane, or drive the wrong way on a one-way street.
- Fatigued Driving – Drowsy drivers can fall asleep at the wheel or drift into oncoming traffic and fail to react in time to avoid a crash.
- Speeding and Reckless Driving – Excessive speed, unsafe lane changes, and aggressive driving increase the risk of deadly collisions.
- Wrong-Way Driving – Confused or impaired drivers may enter highways or streets in the wrong direction, leading to a head-on crash.
Regardless of the cause, our lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation to determine fault and build a strong case that holds the responsible party accountable for the damage they’ve caused.
The Devastating Impact of Head-on Collisions
Head-on collisions frequently result in severe, life-changing injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Severe lacerations and burns
- Amputations and permanent disability
Many victims require extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, or even lifelong care. If you’ve been injured, you need a lawyer who understands the true cost of your injuries and will fight for the compensation you need to move forward.
Maryland’s Strict Contributory Negligence Law
Maryland follows a harsh contributory negligence rule, which means that if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you could be barred from recovering any compensation. Insurance companies will use this to their advantage, trying to shift any portion of blame onto you to avoid paying your claim. Our lawyers know how to counter these tactics, gather critical evidence, and prove the other driver’s full responsibility for the crash.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you’ve been injured in a head-on collision, you may be entitled to significant compensation, including medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In some cases, compensation for permanent disability or disfigurement is appropriate, as well as wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one in a fatal head-on collision.
At Maryland Injury Lawyers, we aggressively negotiate with insurance companies and, if necessary, take your case to court to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible.
What to Do After a Head-on Collision
Taking the right steps after an accident can protect your health and your legal rights:
- Call 911 – Always report the accident and request emergency medical assistance.
- Seek Medical Attention – Even if you feel fine, some injuries take time to manifest.
- Gather Evidence – If your injuries don’t prevent you, take photos of the vehicles, accident scene, and any visible injuries.
- Get Contact Information – Collect details from the other driver and any witnesses.
- Do Not Admit Fault – Anything you say can be used against you.
- Call Maryland Injury Lawyers – The sooner you get legal representation, the stronger your case will be.
