What Causes Houston Head-On Collision Accidents
On highways, a head-on collision usually happens when one vehicle crosses the median into oncoming traffic and hits an approaching vehicle. It can also occur if a driver travels the wrong way down a one-way lane. On non-highways, they most often occur at intersections, with one driver racing through a red light into oncoming traffic.
Head-on collisions can be caused by a number of factors, including:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
- Distracted driving, including texting;
- Falling asleep at the wheel;
- Speeding;
- Tire blowout; or
- Any other event that causes the driver to lose control of his vehicle.
Recovery of Damages for Houston Head-On Collision Accidents
Head-on collisions can cause death or serious physical injury to their victims, both of which can have lifelong consequences for the survivors. Potential injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injury;
- Partial or complete paralysis;
- Spine Injury or Broken back or neck;
- Amputation; or
- Damage to, or loss of, internal organs.
If your loved one has been killed in a head-on collision accident, a wrongful death lawyer may file a claim for you against the driver of the other vehicle.
If you survived the head-on collision, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries. In both cases, you would need to prove that the accident was caused by the other driver’s negligence or wrongful act. If you can prove negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

- Loss of income;
- Mental or emotional pain or anguish;
- Loss of consortium or companionship;
- Medical bills; and
- Long-term care.
- Disability
- Disfigurement
If you can prove by clear and convincing evidence that the death was caused by the other driver’s willful act or omission or gross negligence, you may also be entitled to recover punitive damages.
If you or a loved one was injured or killed in a Houston car accident, it is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible. Our experienced head-on collision attorney will collect all evidence regarding the accident, including police, eyewitness, and crash reports, to determine if you have a claim for damages. We accept only the most serious personal injury cases, and our limited caseload ensures that your case will get the attention it deserves.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim After a Head-On Accident?
The general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you have not settled the case before your limitations run, you will need to have a lawsuit on file to preserve your claims. There are exceptions to the statute of limitations and other limitations that can impact a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Always consult a preeminent personal injury attorney about your rights, options, and limitations asap after the accident.
