Types of Car Accidents - Part 6: Head On Collision in New York | Staten Island Injury Lawyer | Staten Island - Brooklyn - Manhattan - Queens - Bronx - Rockaway - Long Island

Head-on collisions are considered to be the deadliest type of car accident because the energy coming from the two cars are opposite unlike the direction of the energy of other types of accidents such as a rear end accident. When considering a head on collision it is quite simple to quickly realize how they are so dangerous. If two cars are traveling 30 mph and they have head on collision with each other it is equivalent to a 60 mph car crash.

Head-on collisions most often occur when a vehicle crosses over a median or drives down the wrong side of a highway or street and collides with oncoming traffic. The result of head-on collisions is often fatal due to the impact it causes from the energy of the two cars colliding. For those who do survive a head-on collision they are usually in critical condition immediately following the accident and may suffer from long term injuries from a head on accident. Common injuries associated with head-on collisions are:

• Brain injuries
• Spine injuries
• Knee injuries
  
• Feet injuries
• Hip injuries
• Femur injuries
• ACL injuries
• MCL injuries

These and many more injuries are possible from a head on collision.
