Head-On Collisions Can Cause Serious Injuries

Any car accident can cause serious, life-threatening and life-changing injuries, but head-on collisions are particularly dangerous because of the strength of the forces the body may endure, especially at highway speeds. This type of accident may cause injuries that include:

• Broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Chest injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Burns, scarring, and disfigurement
• Serious limb injuries and loss of limbs
• Other significant injuries

Depending on the nature and severity of the injuries sustained, recovery could take a few weeks to several months. Some people never fully recover. If another driver caused your accident, you may be entitled to the costs of your medical treatment, and more, in a personal injury lawsuit.

Tragically, some head-on collisions are fatal. If your family member passed away as a result of a head-on collision in St. Petersburg, you may qualify to recover wrongful death damages under Florida Statute § 768.21.

Distasio Law Firm also assists St. Petersburg families with wrongful death lawsuits. To learn more, call a compassionate front-end crash attorney in St. Petersburg now.

Damages Available When We Hold the At-Fault Motorist Liable

When we pursue a case against a motorist who caused a St. Petersburg head-on wreck, the goal of that case is to hold the negligent driver responsible for the damages they caused. These damages can include your injuries, expenses, and a wide range of losses. While damages can differ dramatically from case to case, some of the more common recoverable damages may include:

• Medical care costs, including both current and future expenses related to the accident
• Lost pay caused by time away from work
• Reduced earning ability because of permanent injuries
• Repair or replacement of the damaged vehicle
• Rental car costs
• Relevant out-of-pocket expenses
• Other economic losses
• Pain and suffering
• Other non-economic losses

The recoverable damages differ in a wrongful death case. If we pursue this type of compensation for you based on your loved one’s head-on collision death, we can explain the types of damages available and how they may be distributed based on the facts of your case.

A Statute of Limitations Applies in Florida Car Accident Cases

Florida Statute § 95.11 gives most accident victims a two-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit based on negligence. For wrongful death lawsuits, the statute of limitations is generally two years, although certain circumstances could alter this deadline.

If you fail to take legal action in your case before the statute of limitations expires, it could prevent you from recovering compensation via a lawsuit, even if you have strong evidence of the responsible party’s liability.

Distasio Law Firm can discuss what specific deadlines pertain to your case when you call us for a consultation. The sooner we review your case and determine that you qualify to take legal action, the sooner we can get to work.
