Head On Collisions in New Orleans

Why Do Head-On Collisions Occur?

Most often, head-on collisions occur because someone was driving the wrong way, or one vehicle moved into another vehicle’s lane abruptly and without warning. Sometimes, negligent drivers cross the center divider or the collision forces other vehicles off of the road.

The Voorhies Law Firm handles numerous accident cases and can quickly identify the source of your crash. Depending on the circumstances of your claim, we can attempt to prove that the other driver was at fault for various reasons.

These reasons might include:

• Driver fatigue
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence
• A medical condition that affected the driver’s ability to drive
• Reckless or careless driving
• A tire blowout or another auto defect
• Road construction or other obstacles in the road
• Speeding
• Aggressive driving
• Drag racing

Once we have determined how and why your accident happened, we can make a claim and begin the process of taking legal action against the appropriate parties. At this point, more than likely, our New Orleans car accident attorneys can begin negotiations with the insurance company. If, however, the insurance company refuses to play fair, we can also resort to a courtroom trial to help ensure that you maximize your compensation.
