Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of motor vehicle accidents. They occur when two vehicles crash front-end to front-end—often due to one driver crossing the center line or entering a divided highway on the wrong side. While they may be less frequent than other types of crashes, their severity makes prevention critical.

Insurance companies often want to speak with you quickly, before you fully understand what happened and before you hire a personal injury attorney. This moment is one where you need to be careful. What you say (or do not say) or how you say things to an insurance adjuster can significantly impact your personal injury claim. Remember, the adjuster’s job is to protect the insurance company and settle claims for as little as possible.
You may think insurance provides a safety net for you, whether it is yours or someone else’s. It is there to offer peace of mind should you have an accident that seriously injures you. So, when an insurance company comes calling with their initial settlement offer, you may trust that it will compensate you fairly.
But that would be flawed thinking. The reality: you should not accept an insurance company’s initial settlement offer without first obtaining the advice of a personal injury lawyer.

Personal injury is a legal term that defines cases where one person has been harmed by another. It is generally based on negligence, where the defendant was careless or had no regard for the safety of others. These claims allow injured individuals to pursue compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial harm caused by an accident.
Common types of personal injury claims include motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, premises liability, product liability, and slip & fall accidents.
At the scene of a car accident and, quite frankly, even days or weeks later, you and the other driver(s) involved may not view the accident in the same way. Who was at fault? How did the accident happen? One of the ways a personal injury lawyer may help resolve these questions is by retaining expert witnesses. Experts are typically sought to help determine two major aspects of a car accident: fault and damages.
To prove your case, your legal team may need to retain medical expert witnesses who can testify to specific facts and provide their expert opinion. One category of experts commonly used in personal injury cases is medical expert witnesses.
Experts are often given greater consideration due to their objective testimony, skill, and experience. When it comes to personal injury cases, medical experts can play a crucial role in demonstrating the extent and impact of your injuries, providing insights into recovery options, treatment plans, and how your injuries affect your quality of life, whether temporary or permanent.
