Front-end car accidents in Connecticut are among the most dangerous types of car crashes. These accidents, sometimes called head-on collisions, occur when the front of one vehicle crashes into the front of a second vehicle. The amount of force generated by this type of accident has the potential to cause substantial injury to the drivers and passengers.
Head-on collisions can be caused by various negligent or reckless driving behaviors, including the following:
A front-end car accident can occur on any road in Connecticut, but these collisions happen most often on rural roads and other streets without a center median.
Property damage in head-on collisions is often severe; oftentimes, cars are totaled in these accidents. The injuries that result from front-end car accidents are often far more severe than many other types of crashes. The catastrophic injuries after colliding head-on include:
Connecticut uses an apportionment of fault system to identify all parties responsible for an accident. This means that more than one person can be at fault, and each is responsible for their share of the negligence. If you are found to be partially liable for the collision, you can still recover financial damages as long as you are less than 51 percent responsible. If you are found to be partially responsible, any compensation you are entitled to will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 15 percent at fault for the accident, your financial award will be reduced by 15 percent.
This is why establishing fault is so important for your front-end car accident claim. It has a direct impact on your financial recovery, which affects your physical and psychological recovery.
