Las Vegas Head-On Collision Lawyer — Expert Legal Help for Victims 

The Rising Danger of Head-On Collisions in Las Vegas 

Las Vegas records over 20,000 annual crashes. The major causes of accidents in the city are failure-to-yield and lane departure. 

Head-on crashes are among the most dangerous collisions in Las Vegas, causing severe injuries, fatalities, and mounting medical bills. In some cases, a head-on accident can be the start of a multi-vehicle crash, endangering more people.  

Most head-on accidents occur on high-speed, multi-lane roads and intersections, or due to drunk, distracted, or fatigued drivers. Some factors in Las Vegas also increase the risk of this type of collision, including tourists, congestion, and confusing intersections, such as the intersection of Charleston Boulevard and Rainbow Boulevard. 

Adam S. Kutner, Injury Attorneys, has decades of experience handling head-on collision cases in Las Vegas, with a proven record of success for injury victims.  

What Causes Head-On Car Accidents in Las Vegas? 

Several issues contribute to head-on accidents in Las Vegas.  

These include: 

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. 
• Distracted driving accidents, which is when a driver is visually, manually, or cognitively distracted. 
• Driver fatigue or drowsiness. 
• Speeding, running a red light, and wrong-way driving. 
• A driver overtaking without enough space or visibility and moving into the path of oncoming traffic. 
• A driver crosses into oncoming traffic at high speeds. 
• Dust storms, heavy rain, intense sun glare, and nighttime driving, which reduce a driver’s visibility. 
• Road design flaws, such as sharp curves, confusing intersection layouts, narrow lanes, a lack of visible shoulders, and insufficient/poorly placed signs. 

Most head-on crashes are avoidable. They are caused by driver negligence. For example, when a driver fails to slow down, increase the safe following distance, or use low-beam headlights when visibility is limited. 

Severe Injuries Resulting From Head-On Collisions 

Typically, head-on collisions cause severe injuries, such as: 

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), such as concussions, contusions, and diffuse axonal injury (DAI). 
• Spinal fractures, herniated discs, and paralysis. Whiplash can also cause severe spinal cord injuries. You can file a whiplash injury claim in such an instance. 
• Fractures to the ribs, legs, knees, and pelvis, and crush injuries. 
• Internal organ damage and internal bleeding caused by blunt force trauma, deceleration, or direct impact with the car’s interior. 
• A pulmonary or heart contusion caused by blunt force trauma to the chest. 
• Crushing of limbs or serious lacerations. 
• Catastrophic injuries, like the loss of a limb or severe burns, or even fatality. 

These severe injuries can lead to permanent disability and long-term impacts on work and quality of life. An injured victim may require extensive rehab and ongoing care. Our head-on crash injury lawyer in Las Vegas helps families receive car accident compensation that considers current and future losses. 

What To Do After a Head-On Crash in Las Vegas 

• Call 911 and seek emergency medical treatment, even if you feel fine, as you may have hidden injuries.  
• Move to safety, if possible, and wait for law enforcement.  
• Report the accident to the police and obtain a police report.  
• Collect witness statements, document the accident scene, and exchange information with the other driver.  
• Seek immediate diagnosis and document all injuries and treatments.  
• Do not speak with insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer.  
• Contact an experienced Las Vegas car accident attorney, especially for severe, disputed, or fatal cases. 

Proving Liability in a Las Vegas Head-On Accident 

Our attorneys can help you prove liability in a Las Vegas head-on accident. They will do this by examining the photos and videos you took at the scene, assessing the vehicle damage, debris fields, and tire marks.  They will also obtain traffic camera, dashcam, or surveillance footage to understand how the accident happened. 

Additionally, we will help you analyze police reports, citations, and witness statements. Our lawyers will review driver phone/data logs and black box vehicle data to get real-time data about driver actions and the vehicle’s behavior. Furthermore, we will investigate road conditions, signage, and known hazard spots. 

If the other driver’s insurance company disputes fault after submitting the evidence we gathered, we will use accident reconstruction experts. 

Under Nevada’s comparative negligence law, an injured victim may still be eligible for compensation, even if they are partially at fault for an accident. In such a case, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. 

Adam S. Kutner’s legal team usually builds a strong evidentiary foundation for maximum client recovery. 

Injury Claims and Compensation After a Head-On Collision 

After a head-on collision, you can claim: 

• Medical expenses (past and future) 
• Rehab and long-term care costs 
• Lost wages and earnings potential 
• Property/vehicle damage 
• Pain and suffering 
• Mental/emotional trauma 
• Punitive damages for gross negligence 

If a family loses a loved one in a head-on accident, they can claim wrongful death and survivor damages.

We always maximize every aspect of a client’s car accident claim. Thus, we never settle for less from insurers.
