Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions in Connecticut often cause the worst injuries, even with airbags and other safety features. They can be life-changing or deadly.

Common injuries:

  • Traumatic brain injury: A strong blow or jolt to the head can cause concussions or severe brain damage.

  • Whiplash: The head snaps forward and back, causing soft-tissue damage and long-term pain.

  • Broken bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and the skull can break from the force of impact.

  • Back and spinal cord injuries: Damage to discs, nerves, or the spinal cord can cause lasting loss of feeling, strength, or other body functions.

These injuries also bring emotional stress and big medical and financial costs. We work to get you full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care.

Who’s responsible for a head-on collision?

In Connecticut, the at-fault driver’s insurance pays for the damages. Responsibility depends on whose negligence caused the crash. Every driver must follow traffic laws and act safely. If a driver breaks that duty and causes a collision, they can be held liable.
