Attorney review: Jami S. Oliver, Founder. Admitted in Ohio, 1993.* About Jami
Oliver Law Office is a woman-led personal injury firm with locations in Dublin and Columbus, Ohio.*
Any auto accident is traumatic and stressful, but head-on collisions are some of the worst crashes in Columbus.*
What is a head-on collision?
A head-on collision occurs when the front of one vehicle crashes into the front of another vehicle heading in the opposite direction.
Head-on collisions cause many deaths on the road. Even when a victim survives, they may feel the effects for the rest of their life.*
A Columbus (on Wikipedia) head-on collision lawyer can help you obtain the full settlement you are entitled to.*
How can a head-on collision lawyer help with your case?
Head-on collisions present their own unique challenges, and a car accident lawyer in Columbus knows how to overcome them while you focus on your recovery.*
Filing any claim after a car accident can be difficult. A lawyer will take steps like these:*
- Obtain the police report, which may prove another driver was negligent
- Collect video surveillance footage from dash cams, nearby businesses, and red light cameras
- Gather medical records that prove the nature and severity of your injuries
- Examine the damage to vehicles to determine how the crash occurred
- Reach out to their network of experts, such as vocational and accident reconstruction specialists
- File your claim properly and on time with the insurance company or the court
- Negotiate on your behalf to recover the full settlement you deserve
- Represent you at trial, if necessary
These are just a few of the ways an attorney can help after a head-on collision.*
What causes head-on collisions?
The most common causes of head-on collisions are drunk driving, fatigued driving, distracted driving and bad weather.*
Many acts of negligence can cause a head-on collision, but some are more common than others:*
- Drunk driving, which slows reaction times and causes motorists to exhibit poor judgment and perception problems
- Fatigued driving, which has been compared to drunk driving when a motorist has had little to no sleep in the previous 24 hours
- Distracted driving, which can cause a motorist to drift into an oncoming lane of traffic and cause a head-on collision
- Bad weather conditions, although motorists should refrain from driving when they do not feel it is safe to do so

What else do people ask about head-on collisions?
Do I need a lawyer to file a claim after a head-on collision?
No. There is no requirement that you work with a lawyer when you file a civil claim for compensation.*
However, having legal representation is the only way to ensure that you will receive the maximum damages you are entitled to.
Do accident victims who work with an attorney receive more?
Studies have shown that accident victims who do not work with an attorney receive just a fraction of the compensation of those who do.
