- Head On Collision Lawyers
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 1 out of every 50 motor vehicle accidents throughout the United States is classified as a head on collision. While this may seem insignificant statistically, head on collisions are the most dangerous of any type of auto accident, resulting in the most traffic fatalities as well as the most severe associated injuries. Arizona drivers must be aware of the serious danger linked to head on collisions.
Wrongful death claims are most commonly seen in head on collisions in Arizona. Due to the high impact of these types of crashes, motorist and passengers are typically unable to survive the force of the motor vehicle crash. As a result, Arizona drivers must utilize defensive driving at all times when navigating the roads and highways throughout the state.
Phillips Law Group believes that negligent motorists must be held responsible for the damages and injuries that they cause to innocent accident victims. If you or a loved one has suffered damages from a head on collision in Arizona, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Contact an Arizona auto accident attorney today for help.

Causes of Head On Collisions
The Arizona Department of Transportation recorded over 100,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2011. Traffic collisions can be truly life changing to those involved. When a head on crash occurs, the associated injuries are typically very severe, often requiring medical care. Due to the widespread impact of these types of accidents, Arizona motorists must be aware of what causes these crashes in an attempt to avoid them.
The following are some of the most common causes of head on collisions:
- Operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
- Turning around a corner at high speeds
- Neglecting to adhere to traffic signs, rules, and regulations
- Improper judgment when passing another vehicle
- Wide turns around a bend with a blind spot
- Obstacles in the road such as debris or animals
- Tire blowout
- Adverse weather conditions limiting visibility
- Turning into oncoming traffic
- Altered traffic patterns due to construction
While these are the most common causes, a wide range of factors may contribute to a head on accident. Any situation where two vehicles collide when moving in opposite directions, or when a vehicle hits a fixed object, are all considered head on collisions.
If you or a loved one has endured a head on collision, you may be entitled to funds to help you to recover from your losses. Contact one of our Arizona car crash lawyers to learn more.
Injuries Due to Head On Collisions
Wrongful death is generally linked to head on collisions. This connection is made due to the intense severity of impact in these kinds of crashes. When two vehicles collide head on, especially when traveling at high speeds, the damages are brutal. Nevertheless, a number of factors contribute to the level of injuries those involved sustain. For instance, the point of impact, vehicle speed, and the position of the passengers inside of the car all will affect the outcome of the accident.
Regardless of these outside factors, however, injuries due to head on collisions commonly require medical attention. If you have been involved in this kind of crash, you must seek medical care as soon as possible. Some of the most common injuries associated with head on crashes include but are not limited to:
- Lacerations

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
