When you ascend the on-ramp on Interstates 65 or 85, you may feel safe because you are vigilant, follow road rules, and maintain your car. Unfortunately, not everyone does. According to the Alabama Department of Transportation, someone sustains injury in a car accident in this state every 11 minutes.
Front-end car accidents in Montgomery cause more severe injuries than rear-end and T-bone crashes. If you experience such an accident, your well-being is the top priority for your family and our car collision attorney. At the Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown, our attorney has 31 years of experience handling personal injury cases, representing our commitment to providing exemplary advocacy.
Most people refer to front-end crashes as head-on collisions, and they can be catastrophic based on the laws of physics. Two cars traveling at 65 miles per hour from opposite directions crash with great force. The driver and passengers continue their forward trajectory, smashing into the windshield or steering column, which stops the forward motion. Some common causes for head-on collisions include:
The basis of personal injury cases is the negligence of one person toward another. Motorists have a duty to act reasonably, and if they are irresponsible and cause an accident that results in injury, your attorney could ask for damages based on negligence. Call our compassionate but tenacious lawyer for representation after a head-on car accident in Montgomery.
Dwayne L. Brown builds cases by collecting and assessing evidence of negligence and losses. Evidence can include police and investigative reports, medical charts and prognoses, eyewitness interviews, and roadside, surveillance, or cell phone videos. Mr. Brown has built a network of physicians in Montgomery who routinely treat accident victims, along with expert witnesses who testify after reconstructing front-end car collisions. This helps ensure that your losses have a clear, documented value. Damages you may pursue compensation for include:
Call us for representation that prioritizes open communication, compassionate support, and pursuing the maximum amount of damages you deserve.
If another’s reckless behavior causes a front-end collision that resulted in the death of a family member, you could file a wrongful death lawsuit. In this state, the estate’s personal representative must file the claim, and the court only awards punitive damages. The amount will depend on how egregious the defendant’s behavior was. The award acts to punish the wrongdoer instead of compensating the injured, but there is no cap on how much the court can award.
If they find the deceased partially at fault for the accident, punitive damages will not be available under the state’s contributory negligence statute. After a head-on car wreck in Montgomery, the Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown can help you pursue justice for the loss of your loved one and help defend against attempts to shift blame onto the deceased.
Front-end crashes can be catastrophic and often lead to fatalities. In addition to compromising your physical health, it can also impact your financial and emotional well-being. Insurance companies may try to pressure you into accepting an inadequate settlement, but you do not have to do so.
