Frontal Impact

A frontal impact or head-on collision occurs when the front of two separate motor vehicles come into contact with each other. This type of accident may also take place when the front of a car collides into a stationary object, such as a telephone pole.

As of 2005, it was reported that head-on collisions accounted for only 2.0% of all motor vehicle crashes, but resulted in 10% of all fatal crashes.

A head-on collision is part of the class of car accidents known as a lane-departure or road-departure accidents. This is because the accident would not have occurred had one of the vehicles involved not entered the on-coming lane or left the roadway entirely. For example, a head-on collision may occur when a drowsy driver, drunk driver, or distracted driver crosses the center line or enters a road against the traffic.

A frontal impact car accident can be especially devastating. As of 2005, it was reported that head-on collisions accounted for only 2.0% of all motor vehicle crashes, but resulted in 10% of all fatal crashes. The use of safety restraints and air bags can mitigate these damages and prevent ejection from the vehicle. Despite all the advances intended to reduce traffic accidents and minimize their severity, however, more than 90 people are killed every day across our country in motor vehicle related accidents.

New York City Frontal Impact Car Accident Lawyers

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a New York frontal impact car accident, you are now confronted with medical expenses, lost wages, and other hardships. Insurance companies may be contacting you for information about the accident. The no-fault carrier is sending you claim forms that need to be timely submitted. It can be overwhelming and confusing. You have questions. We have the answers.

Never place your trust in insurance companies. They are not on your side. Their hands are only good when it comes to collecting your premium. Otherwise, when you are in need and actually file a claim for medical benefits or personal injury, their sole priority is to deny your claim and terminate your benefits as soon as possible. Therefore, you need an experienced New York City personal injury attorney on your side before trusting an insurance company or giving any statement to a representative from an insurance company.

With our years of experience, we know how to protect your interests. We will thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident to hold all accountable parties responsible. We will process all of your claims for benefits so that your medical bills are paid and you are reimbursed for any lost wages.

We know the law and how to best prosecute your claim for personal injuries to get you the maximum compensation you are entitled to receive for your damages. In New York, the law limits your right to recover damages for non-economic losses – i.e. pain and suffering – unless you establish that you sustained a serious injury as defined by the New York Insurance Law. This law can seem complex and confusing to a lay person. Insurance companies use this law to instruct their lawyers to make an application to the court to dismiss your case for failure to meet this injury or tort threshold. We know their tactics and are prepared to fight them every step of the way.

We represent people injured in car accident throughout the New York City metropolitan area, including Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. We have obtained millions of dollars in compensation for our clients hurt in New York car crashes. Personal injury law is all we do. We know how to get results!
