What Causes Head-On Collisions on Falmouth, MA Roads?

Head-on collisions usually result from a driver drifting across a center line, attempting an unsafe pass, or becoming distracted long enough to leave their lane. On narrower two-lane roads without a median, even a brief lapse can put oncoming vehicles on a direct collision course, which makes these crashes more likely to cause serious injury than many other types.

Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means a driver who unintentionally causes a head-on collision can still be held responsible for another driver's injuries. Meanwhile, an injured driver can recover damages as long as they are not found to be more than 50 percent at fault. 

Establishing which vehicle crossed the center line is commonly central to these claims, and this can depend on physical evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage patterns, and witness accounts.

Physical evidence from a head-on collision can be altered quickly by weather or cleanup; documenting the scene early matters. In these cases, a car accident lawyer can help preserve photographs, vehicle data, and witness statements before they become difficult to obtain.
