Car Wreck Lawyers Assisting People Injured in Little Rock, AR
When operating a motor vehicle, drivers have the responsibility of driving safely, which entails maintaining one’s lane, being cognizant of other vehicles, and adhering to speed limits, among other responsibilities. Failingto drive safely could result in a head-on accident. When a car crashes head first into the front of another vehicle, those involved can be left with significant injuries that may require immediate medical attention. In this type of collision, it is not uncommon for the drivers to jerk forward and strike the steering wheel, which can result in crushed bones, punctured organs, and internal bleeding. If you or a loved one has been injured in a head-on collision caused by another driver, you should contact the Little Rock car accident attorneys of Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz. We are a large regional personal injury law firm that has been representing auto accident victims throughout the South for more than 30 years
Recovering Damages if You Were Injured in a Head-On Collision
Many head-on crashes happen due to failure in maintaining one’s lane or failure in driving on the appropriate side of a road. Some of the actions that cause many drivers to fail include texting while driving, driving while fatigued, distracted driving, or drunk driving, among others. Let us say, for example, that you are driving in Pulaski County on West 29th Street, headed for the Barton Coliseum at 2600 Howard Street, Little Rock, Arkansas 72206. Ahead of you, you see a motorist driving in the opposite direction on the same street. The driver you see is also intoxicated. Before both of your vehicles pass each other, the drunk driver swerves onto your side of the street and collides head first into the front of your vehicle.
A collision like the one in the previous example can result in severe injuries. Some injuries can leave you unable to go to work and result in you staying several nights at a nearby hospital, such as Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock – located at 3333 Springhill Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72117. Missing work and accumulating medical bills can quickly put someone in a financial hole, not to mention cause pain and suffering and emotional distress. Getting out of that hole can be done by recovering compensatory damages for your injuries and losses.
In order to recover compensatory damages, both economic and non-economic, you will have to prove that the other driver breached a duty of reasonable care that he or she owed you, which caused you to sustain injuries. Photographing the scene of the accident and objective injuries like bruising or scarring is a good start to validating your claim. A car accident lawyer in the Little Rock area can assist you in procuring evidence and assert your rights to the fullest extent. Obtaining a copy of the police report regarding the accident and a copy of the medical documentation of your injuries can also help your case. A skilled attorney will understand where to look for and identify critical evidence that can be used to satisfy your legal burden of proving the defendant’s negligence.
Discuss Your Case with a Motor Vehicle Collision Attorney
Auto accidents of any type can leave victims with injuries, but the injuries victims sustain in head-on collisions tend to be extreme; this is especially true for individuals in the driver seat and front passenger seat. While these wrecks can produce injuries at low speeds, high-speed crashes can cause one to suffer permanent injuries.
