We May Be Able to Prove the Cause of Your Accident
If you were the victim of a head-on collision in Wesley Chapel or elsewhere in Pasco County, our committed lawyers may be able to help you get to the bottom of exactly what led to your accident. This may be a key part of holding the at-fault driver accountable for their actions. We may investigate your accident to prove negligence and liability, as well as to document your damages.
Possible causes of head-on collisions include:
- Speeding or other reckless driving behaviors.
- Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs.
- Distracted driving.
- Fatigued driving.
- Failure to follow other rules of the road, such as no-passing zones.
- Wrong-way driving on divided highways or interstates.
While a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology shows that the number of fatalities in this type of accident decreased as seatbelts and airbags became common safety features in modern vehicles, head-on accidents may still be very dangerous. Injuries incurred may vary, but could include traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, paralysis, internal injuries, and broken bones especially within the pelvis and lower extremities.
As the speed and weight of the at-fault motorist’s vehicle increase, injuries may become more severe. A head-on collision with a tractor-trailer may be much more dangerous than a low-speed impact from a compact passenger car.

Call Us Before Time Runs Out to File a Lawsuit
The statute of limitations on filing a car accident lawsuit in Florida is generally two years, per Florida Statute 95.11. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and you may have as little as two years to pursue a wrongful death action if your loved one passed away in a head-on collision.
