Head-on collisions happen when a driver crosses the centerline, passes unsafely on a two-lane road or enters a highway or ramp going the wrong way. Around Orlando, they happen on two-lane stretches of roads like SR 46, SR 520 and US-192 east of St. Cloud, on rural roads in Lake and Osceola County, and on interstate and toll-road ramps late at night. Impaired, distracted and drowsy drivers cause many of them.
Because both vehicles are moving toward each other, the force is enormous even at moderate speeds. Survivors often face traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures and internal injuries, followed by months of surgery and rehabilitation. Some families lose someone they love.
These are high-stakes cases. The lifetime cost of a catastrophic injury can far exceed one driver's insurance policy, so our Orlando head-on collision lawyers look for every source of recovery: the at-fault driver, the vehicle's owner, an employer if the driver was working, and your own uninsured motorist coverage. One of our attorneys used to defend insurance companies, so we know how they value — and undervalue — catastrophic claims. And they know we prepare every case for a jury.
