What Our Clients Say
What Makes Head-On Collisions So Devastating?
Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide front-to-front. These crashes often happen on undivided highways, during improper passing, or when a driver veers into oncoming traffic due to distraction, fatigue, impairment, or loss of control.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), head-on crashes accounted for 58% of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in two-vehicle accidents in 2021 (source).
Common Causes of Head-On Crashes in Texas:
Drunk or impaired driving
Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
Drowsy or fatigued driving
Unsafe passing on two-lane roads
Wrong-way driving on highways or ramps
Speeding or reckless driving
Mechanical failure or tire blowouts
Types of Injuries in Head-On Collisions
Due to the direct impact and force transfer, these accidents frequently result in severe and sometimes life-altering injuries:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Fractures and crushed bones
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Facial injuries and disfigurement
Amputation or loss of limb
Psychological trauma or PTSD
Wrongful death
Your recovery may require extensive surgeries, rehabilitation, long-term care, or adaptive equipment. If someone else’s negligence caused your suffering, you have a legal right to seek compensation.
Why You Need a Lawyer After a Head-On Collision

Determining Fault in a Texas Head-On Crash
Texas is a modified comparative negligence state, which means fault is divided between parties. You can still recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Proving fault in a head-on crash may involve:
Reviewing dashcam footage or surveillance video
Examining vehicle damage and impact angles
Downloading black box (event data recorder) info
Interviewing witnesses
Consulting accident reconstruction experts
Carrollton Injury Law uses every available tool to build a strong case that supports your claim and protects your rights.
Damages You May Be Entitled to Pursue
We pursue maximum compensation for all categories of loss related to your accident. These may include:
Economic Damages:
Emergency room and hospital bills
Surgery and specialist costs
Physical therapy and rehab
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Costs for in-home care or medical devices
Non-Economic Damages:
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement
Loss of companionship (in wrongful death cases)
Punitive Damages:
In rare cases involving gross negligence—such as drunk driving or intentional harm—Texas courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter future misconduct.
Wrongful Death After a Head-On Collision
If your loved one was killed in a head-on crash, we are deeply sorry for your loss. You may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of your spouse, parent, or child.

FAQs About Head-On Collision Cases in Texas
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Delays can hurt your case—don’t wait.
What if the other driver fled the scene or was uninsured?
We can help you pursue a claim through your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if the other driver cannot be located or lacked insurance.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes, under Texas’ modified comparative fault rule, you may still recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. Your award will be reduced accordingly.

Most head-on collision cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. We are ready to fight in court if that’s what it takes to protect your rights.
