Why Head-On Collisions Are So Dangerous

Unlike rear-end or side-impact crashes, head-on collisions involve two vehicles striking each other front-to-front, often at high speeds. The force of impact doubles the trauma, leading to serious injuries such as:

The emotional and financial aftermath can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s essential to secure the right legal representation early on.

Who Is Liable in a Head-On Collision?

Determining fault in a head-on crash is complex. In NYC, liability often hinges on:

  • Wrong-way driving or lane departure
  • Distracted or impaired driving
  • Speeding or reckless behavior
  • Improper road signage or maintenance (which may implicate a city agency)

At Apicella & Schlesinger, we launch a full investigation to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and consult with crash reconstruction experts—ensuring no stone is left unturned in proving who was responsible.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of head-on car accidents may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:

Economic Damages:

  • Medical bills (emergency care, surgeries, therapy, future treatment)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)

Non-Economic Damages:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of companionship in wrongful death cases

In some instances involving gross negligence, punitive damages may also apply.
