How Our Legal Team Determines Fault In A Head-On Collision In Metairie
In almost all head-on collisions, someone is driving the wrong direction on a public roadway. Since most people don’t intentionally drive the wrong direction, this means that at least one driver probably engaged in negligent behavior. The following are common causes of head-on accidents and how we approach them.
Driving Under The Influence
When a person is driving under the influence of alcohol, they are likely to ignore traffic laws like lane direction. Also, because they have impaired reflexes and vision, they are unlikely to slow down when approaching a vehicle traveling in the other direction.
In an accident where we have any suspicion of alcohol use, we will obtain police reports to determine whether a breathalyzer test was performed. We will also interview people who were with the driver before the accident to find out whether anyone saw them drinking.
Distracted Driving
When a driver looks away from the road, their car is likely to swerve. When that swerve takes them into another lane, they could be involved in an accident. If the driver is speeding, they are particularly likely to swerve into another lane when distracted by a digital device or something else in their vehicle.
Our legal team will attempt to collect evidence that the other driver was distracted. Phone company records, for example, can show they were texting at the time of the accident.
Complications Of Head-On Crashes
One of the main reasons you need a lawyer to represent you is that head-on crashes are complicated. We have experience reconstructing accident scenes to help determine fault. This can prevent you from getting reduced compensation when insurance companies claim you were partially at fault.
Head-on collisions are also likely to result in fatalities. In 2023, of all the traffic accidents in the U.S., head-on crashes accounted for 5,800 deaths (nearly 30% of the total deaths). Our lawyers can help you navigate the complex wrongful death process after losing a loved one to get the compensation that the law allows.
