No matter how responsible you drive, someone else in your vicinity may be driving irresponsibly. Motorists who behave unreasonably by speeding or driving while distracted or intoxicated can cause catastrophic accidents.
Head-on accidents often are fatal or cause severe injuries. Victims of front-end car accidents in Boca Raton are entitled to compensation for their physical, financial, and emotional losses. If you suffered injuries in a head-on crash, you don’t have to battle the insurance companies on your own or go to court alone and tell a jury what happened to you. A skilled auto accident attorney at our law firm will stand with you and deliver competent and compassionate legal assistance.
The laws of physics explain why front-end car crashes occur. When you drive, your car gains momentum, which is the change to its velocity after you pump the gas pedal. When your momentum is altered by another car that hits you head-on, the other driver’s momentum suddenly drops to zero, but cannot absorb the oncoming velocity, crushing the car while it and you continue to be propelled forward.
Some common reasons for head-on collisions are:
Our Boca Raton legal team will leverage state-of-the-art technology to assess your head-on car crash case. We’ll determine how much compensation you deserve for medical bills, rehabilitation, and personal care if you need it because the accident disabled you. We’ll calculate how much compensation you should receive for wages lost during your recovery. We’ll also figure out whether you are entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, emotional trauma that could include post-traumatic stress syndrome, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Your Damage Lawyer will negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf and won’t settle for less than you deserve. If settlement talks break down, we’ll take your case to a jury.
A motorist who violates traffic laws or doesn’t behave like a reasonable driver is negligent if their acts are the foreseeable cause of the accident in which you sustained injuries. If law enforcement issued a ticket to the negligent motorist, that satisfies the legal elements of duty and breach. Your attorney only has to prove that the negligent acts caused your injuries under the doctrine of negligence per se.
Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years from the date of your Boca Raton front-end auto wreck to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your losses. There are exceptions for minors and mentally incompetent defendants. In 2023, the time limit was reduced from four years to two to address the problems of disappearing evidence and witnesses whose memories fade. Your Damage Lawyer will ensure that your filings are timely and will strive to achieve an outcome in your case that reflects your losses.
