Head-on Car Accident in St. Louis

Head-on Car Crash Injury Claim - Call 314.448.0934 for immediate help

Head-on car accidents in St. Louis result in some of the most serious injuries that our attorneys see on a regular basis.  Crossing the center line of traffic is a common cause of head-on car accidents.  Cellphone text messaging, changing a radio station, lighting a cigarette, or dozing off at the wheel are all common acts that result in this type of impact.  The speed and inertia of the vehicles in a head-on collision usually results in airbag deployment and total vehicle destruction.  Airbags, which are obviously designed to save lives, can cause severe burns and bruises to a victim's face and chest.

Head-on car accidents result in more fatalities than any other type of collision.  St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, and Lincoln County all have many two-lane highways where the speed limit is 55 mph.  Blind curves and undulating hills can challenge the focus of any driver.  Taking your eyes off the road, even for second, can result in drifting over the center line and into oncoming traffic.  Any cellphone call or text message is not worth risking your life for.  Police and criminal prosecuting attorneys are cracking down on negligent drivers that cause serious or fatal head-on car accidents in the St. Louis area. 

Head-on Car Accident Claim for Compensation

The serious injuries that commonly result from head-on car accidents may require days or months of hospitalization.  While St. Louis has its share of nationally recognized first-rate hospitals, they charge accordingly.  A week long hospitalization stay at St. Johns Medical Center or Barnes Hospital can easily rack up tens of thousands in medical expenses.  Obviously a car accident victim requires the best medical attention; cost should never be a concern until it comes time to request the negligent driver to compensate accordingly. 

Future medical care can be a real concern in this type of car accident.  In certain situations, a licensed life-care planner will be retained by your lawyer to provide insight into the future medical needs of the victim.  Future medications, nursing care, and other items must be accounted for now so that the victim may recover those future medical expenses in the current claim for compensation.
