Understanding Head-On Collision Cases

Common Causes

  • Wrong way driving on highways and divided roads
  • Crossing the center line while distracted or drowsy
  • Impaired driving causing loss of directional control
  • Attempting to pass on two lane roads with oncoming traffic
  • Overcorrecting after drifting off the road
  • Confused elderly or impaired drivers entering highway exit ramps

Typical Injuries

  • Fatal injuries from the combined speed of both vehicles
  • Catastrophic traumatic brain injuries
  • Chest injuries from steering wheel and airbag impact
  • Bilateral leg and knee fractures from dashboard intrusion
  • Facial reconstruction injuries from windshield impact
  • Severe spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis

Establishing Liability

Head on collisions typically result from one driver crossing into the opposing lane of traffic, making fault relatively clear in most cases. Physical evidence such as debris patterns, tire marks, and vehicle damage indicate which driver crossed the centerline. When impairment or distraction is involved, toxicology results and phone records provide compelling evidence of negligence that can also support punitive damage claims.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas Transportation Code Section 545.051 requires vehicles to be driven on the right half of the roadway, and crossing the center line into oncoming traffic constitutes a clear violation. When a head on collision results from intoxication, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 41 allows recovery of exemplary damages. The combined impact forces in head on collisions frequently result in wrongful death claims governed by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sections 71.001 through 71.012.
