Frontal Impact Collision: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a frontal impact collision?
A frontal impact collision is just another way of saying "head-on" collision.
A head-on collision sounds serious, is it?
Head-on collisions kill more people than any other type of traffic accident.
Of the over 6 million automobile accidents each year, how many of them are frontal or head-on collisions?
According to the Federal government, approximately 38% of all traffic accidents in 2000 involved head-on collisions.
What is the best way to prevent serious injury from head-on collision?
As always, wear your seatbelt. In addition, cars that are equipped with airbags (assuming they are not defective) and those cars that are designed to absorb impact are usually more able to sustain a head-on collision.
Should I contact an attorney if I have been seriously injured in a frontal impact collision?
Perhaps. It may be important for you to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Only a licensed attorney can evaluate whether you have a case that is worth pursuing. Keep in mind however that there may be time limits (Statute of Limitations) which affect your ability to sue.
