Car accidents are dangerous, frightening events, but it’s difficult to conceive of a car accident more terrifying and more deadly than a head on collision. If another driver’s negligence leaves you or someone you care about injured in a head on collision, obtaining the medical care and treatment you need from the outset can be critical to your health outcome.
At 388CEDA, we take great pride in offering comprehensive medical services that include effective pain management to accident victims like you, and if you request that we do so, we can also recommend an experienced car accident attorney.
Head on Collisions: Common Causes
The causes of life-threatening head on collisions can be quite varied, but these terrifying accidents tend to be the result of driver negligence. Some of the most common causes of head on collisions include:
- Impairment by alcohol and/or drugs
- Driver negligence, including distraction, exhaustion, or aggression
- Unsafe passing practices
- Extreme speed
- Lack of care regarding the condition of the road
- Roads with inadequate or misleading signage
When you see a driver barreling toward you from the wrong direction, the fear and danger involved is difficult to overstate.

If you’ve been injured in a head on collision, your injuries are likely to be extensive. At 388CEDA, we care about you and your recovery, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of medical treatment that includes:

The Insurance Company
If you are injured in a head on collision that was caused by another driver’s negligence, you can expect your physical, financial, and emotional damages to be considerable. While the at-fault driver’s insurance provider is responsible for covering your damages, obtaining the compensation to which you may be entitled can prove to be an uphill battle.
Insurance companies are for-profit ventures, and as such, they often engage in less-than-fair practices that are intended to protect those profits and can include:
- Denying your claim outright
- Offering an early settlement that does not even come close to covering your full range of losses (and before you are even fully aware of the extent of those losses)
- Making the claims process so complicated and confusing that you are inclined to give up in exasperation
- Attempting to minimize the cost of the damages you’ve suffered
The insurance company recognizes that you are injured and vulnerable and is not above taking advantage of this fact. Dedicated car accident attorneys are experienced at negotiating with insurance companies in pursuit of their clients’ just compensation.
Your Injuries
The immense frontal impact of head on collisions is closely associated with several types of extremely serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Injuries to the neck and back
- Broken bones
- Serious burns and cuts
Seeking the medical care you need as soon after the head on collision as possible can play a critical role in your ability to regain your health and well-being.
