Identifying who was at fault in a head-on car crash
Identifying who was careless is necessary to establish fault. Driving recklessly, in a hazardous manner, without using reasonable caution, when distracted, or while texting while driving are all examples of negligence.
In most situations, the driver who is at fault will also be responsible for covering all parties’ damages. There may, however, be more than one responsible party in some circumstances. Each person is liable for damages in proportion to their level of fault. For instance, a driver would be liable for 50% of the damages if they were 50% at fault for the collision.
You might be able to bring a lawsuit for a number of damages
Depending on the injuries you sustained in the accident, you may be able to seek particular damages. Economic damages and noneconomic damages are divided into two groups. Economic damages are those that directly relate to losing money and are therefore reasonably easy to quantify.
Medical expenses, lost income, ambulance fees, continuous care and treatment, emergency room care, medical supplies, physical therapy, prescription drugs, property damage (including damage to the vehicle), and other costs are all examples of economic damages.
Noneconomic damages are those that are more difficult to quantify financially, such as pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and diminished quality of life.
How to file a lawsuit against the responsible party
You should speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can if you think that someone else was to blame for your head-on collision. Do not assign blame for the collision; instead, report it to the police and your insurance provider. Do not provide the insurance provider with a recorded statement. Give the very minimum of information necessary, and then get in touch with a lawyer.
