The strongest cases have multiple types of corroborating evidence. A police report showing the other driver was cited, combined with witness statements and physical evidence from the scene, creates a compelling picture of liability.
Key Evidence for Proving Head-On Collision Fault
Head-on collision cases are built on evidence that proves the other driver caused the crash. Physical evidence, witness testimony, expert analysis, and documentation all contribute to establishing fault.
- ✓Police report with fault determination
- ✓Physical evidence (vehicle positions, skid marks)
- ✓Witness statements
- ✓Photos and video footage
- ✓Cell phone records (proving distraction)
- ✓Blood alcohol/drug test results
- ✓Accident reconstruction expert analysis
- ✓Vehicle black box data
How Attorneys Prove Fault
Your attorney conducts a thorough investigation to gather fault evidence. This includes obtaining the police report, interviewing witnesses, subpoenaing cell phone records, hiring accident reconstruction experts, and analyzing physical evidence.
In head-on collision cases, we often work with experts who can reconstruct the crash using vehicle damage patterns, road marks, and physics calculations to prove exactly how the collision occurred and who was responsible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if there are no witnesses to my head-on collision?▼
Physical evidence can still prove fault. Vehicle damage patterns, final rest positions, skid marks, and road marks tell the story. Accident reconstruction experts can determine what happened from this evidence.
Is the police report's fault determination final?▼
No. The police report is important evidence, but not conclusive. Attorneys can challenge incorrect fault findings with additional evidence, expert testimony, and legal arguments.
What if the other driver lies about what happened?▼
Physical evidence often contradicts false statements. Your attorney gathers objective proof – like vehicle damage patterns that show which direction the impact came from – to expose lies.
