You Can Hold At-Fault Parties Liable for Head-On Collision Damages

In Pennsylvania, a negligent motorist who causes you an injury in a head-on collision accident may owe you compensation for your damages. These accidents can result from the following:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Distracted driving
• Texting and driving
• Driving the wrong way down a one-way street or divided highway
• Driving fatigued or falling asleep behind the wheel
• Speeding
• Improper or illegal passing

Head-on car crashes can also occur due to dangerous or poorly maintained roads, brake failure, tire failure, and other mechanical defects. If these issues contributed to your wreck, we can help you build a case against a liable manufacturer, mechanic, or roadway owner.

We will prove that another party’s reckless, careless, or wrongful actions resulted in your personal injury and fight to ensure you recover the resources you need to get back on your feet. A Johnstown personal injury lawyer can ensure your rights are protected and fight to maximize your compensation.

Our Head-On Collision Accident Attorneys Will Fight for Full and Fair Compensation

When drivers behave negligently and hurt others, they should pay for the damage they cause – not injured parties or their families. Our Johnstown head-on collision accident lawyers will identify your losses and seek the maximum compensation possible for your current and future losses, including the following:

• Ambulance transportation 
• Emergency medical treatment
• Doctor and hospital fees
• Medical procedures
• Mobility aids, medications, and medical equipment
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Long-term nursing
• Lost wages, earnings, and employment benefits
• Lost future earnings and reduced earning capacity
• Household services
• Physical pain and suffering
• Severe scarring
• Disfigurement
• Mental anguish
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment
• Diminished quality of life

We Can Seek Justice for a Fatally Injured Loved One

When two moving vehicles collide head-on, the force and angle of the impact can cause severe and catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal injuries. In addition, the Insurance Information Institute (III) reports that head-on crashes represent around 10 percent of all fatal accidents in the United States.

If your loved one died because of a head-on car accident injury, our legal team can assist with the following:

• Survival claims. Survival claims seek to recover damages suffered by the deceased in the time between the accident and their death. Compensation may include medical expenses and the victim’s pain and suffering. 
• Wrongful death claims. Wrongful death claims recover losses incurred by the deceased’s family due to their passing. Compensation may include funeral and burial expenses, the loss of your loved one’s future income and financial support, and the loss of your loved one’s society, guidance, and services.

If you are dealing with an injury or coping with the loss of a family member, Berger and Green can help. We will handle your case with compassion and the personalized attention you deserve. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Berger and Green Will Build Your Head-On Collision Claim or Lawsuit

At Berger and Green, our job is to make seeking compensation as easy as possible for our clients so they can turn their time and attention toward healing. Our lawyers and staff take every case seriously, providing exceptional legal support with a high degree of competence and care to all those we serve. Your case is important to us because we know how important it is to you.

We Will Investigate Your Crash

Our Johnstown head-on collision accident attorneys will collect evidence to support your case and prove another party’s negligent actions caused your injuries and damages. When applicable, we will:

• Visit the accident scene, photograph the site, and gather physical evidence
• Locate and interview eyewitnesses
• Obtain police reports and medical records
• Track down available surveillance, dash cam, or cell phone footage of the crash
• Hire and consult with crash reconstructionists, medical professionals, and other expert witnesses when necessary

We Will Aggressively Negotiate on Your Behalf

Insurance companies exist to make a profit, and one way they can improve their bottom line is by keeping claims payouts as low as possible. Working with our law firm can signal to other involved parties that you mean business and will fight for the compensation you deserve.

Our injury lawyers have negotiated thousands of cases. We know what it takes to protect your rights and secure the maximum compensation possible. If we cannot reach an agreement outside of court, we will file a lawsuit and represent you at trial if necessary.

Get Started on Your Head-On Collision Accident Case Before Time Runs Out

According to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524, you have two years to file your head-on collision accident lawsuit in civil court. The clock for personal injury and survival claims begins on the date of the accident, and the clock for wrongful death claims starts at the time of your loved one’s passing.

If you do not pursue your suit within the timeframe set by the statute of limitations, the court likely will not take your case. Additionally, failure to resolve your insurance claim before the deadline will significantly reduce your bargaining power.
