How Do Head-On Collisions Happen?
More often than not, head-on collisions, unfortunately, occur at high rates of speed. They can be caused by a number of circumstances, including these scenarios:
There are steps you should take following your head-on collision accident to ensure your safety and also to protect your rights, to help you recover full compensation for any injuries and damages you’ve incurred. These include:
When you file any type of claim in Indiana, whether it is for personal injury or a wrongful death, you will get the best possible outcome when you hire an attorney who is well-versed in state laws and highly experienced in car accident cases.
When you bring on the attorneys at Chapman Injury Lawyers, the first thing we’ll do is conduct a thorough investigation into your accident to prove fault and develop a strong case on your behalf. We’ll collect important evidence, such as the police report of your accident, any available surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and damage reports. We’ll also hire renowned experts to support your case, if needed, such as medical, financial, and accident reconstruction experts.
Based on the strength of the case we develop, we’ll negotiate aggressively with the at-fault party’s insurance company. At Chapman Injury Lawyers, we tackle head-on collision and other car accident cases frequently and we know exactly what to do and say to get you the maximum compensation.
Types of compensation we may be able to get for you after a head-on collision accident include:
We’ll also make sure we make every deadline in relation to filing your claim, to ensure that your case can move forward. In Indiana, the statute of limitations is only two years, so we will move quickly to file your claim for you.
No amount of money can ever undo the lasting effects of a traumatizing head-on collision, but it can relieve you of the financial stress that can follow these accidents and help you get your life back on track.
If you decide to pursue a personal injury claim, you will need proof showing that you were not at-fault or were at least only partially at fault. In Indiana, we use a modified comparative negligence doctrine. As long as you were less than 51% at fault, then you can collect compensation.
Your attorney will collect witness statements, speak with the responding police officer, and more to help determine whether or not you had any fault in the accident. If the jury does find you to be partially at fault for the accident, then your total damages will be reduced by that percentage of fault.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a head-on collision with another vehicle in Evansville, IN, our car accident attorneys may be able to help you. We work on numerous car accident cases in the area and have the experience and know-how to get you the compensation you deserve. Contact us at (812) 461-6261 to set up your free consultation.
