Head-On Collision FAQs

Common questions about head-on collision claims in Los Angeles and California.

What is the average settlement for a head-on collision?

Head-on collision settlements typically range from $100,000 to over $5 million depending on injury severity. Minor injuries may settle for $50,000-$150,000, while serious injuries like TBI or spinal cord damage often exceed $1 million. Wrongful death cases can reach $2-10 million.

Who is at fault in a head-on collision?

Usually, the driver who crossed the center line or was traveling in the wrong direction is at fault. Common causes include distracted driving, DUI, illegal passing, and drowsy driving. California uses comparative negligence, so fault may be shared between parties.

Should I get a lawyer for a head-on collision?

Yes. Head-on collisions often involve catastrophic injuries and complex liability issues. Insurance companies aggressively minimize payouts. An experienced head-on collision lawyer can increase your settlement by 3-5x and handle all legal complexities.

How long does a head-on collision claim take?

Head-on collision cases typically take 12-24 months due to the severity of injuries. Complex cases involving wrongful death, multiple parties, or disputed liability may take 2-4 years. We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your compensation.

What should I do after a head-on collision?

Seek immediate medical attention - many head-on collision injuries like TBI have delayed symptoms. Call 911 and get a police report. Document the scene if possible. Do not admit fault. Contact a head-on collision lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.

Can I sue a drunk driver for a head-on collision?

Yes. You can file a civil lawsuit against a drunk driver for damages beyond their insurance coverage. Additionally, you may be able to pursue punitive damages for their reckless behavior, and potentially sue establishments that over-served them (dram shop liability).
