Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous collisions that people get involved in. They account for only 2% of all collisions, but over 11% of all traffic fatalities.

Victims of head-on collisions tend to suffer very serious and costly injuries including:

Any driver that crosses over double yellow lines may be held liable in the event of an accident. Pursuant to New York Vehicle Code 1128(a), “A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.” The family of any person that is killed in a car accident may have legal recourse through a civil claim.
