Front-end car accidents refer to several different types of head-on collisions with other motor vehicles. These accidents can happen in parking lots, in busy intersections, or while driving along undivided roadways. The driver or vehicle owner who caused the accident through their negligence or wrongful acts is generally liable for any resulting injuries and losses under California Vehicle Code § 17150.
Our lawyers could investigate and review the events of your head-on car crash in Fullerton to determine who is at fault. Common examples of driver negligence that could establish fault include the following:
Liability for causing a front-end collision is not always apparent. In many cases, multiple parties, possibly including an injured plaintiff, are at fault. The advocacy of a lawyer could be helpful in these cases to identify the strengths or weaknesses of a claim. Courts will apply a rule of comparative fault under California Civil Code § 1714, which can reduce the available compensation for your damages in proportion to the percentage of fault a jury assigns to you at trial.
The speed of the vehicles and the nature of the front-end collision can substantially affect the severity of the accident. The extent of your injuries, along with your personal circumstances, can impact the amount of compensation you could recover in a lawsuit. Our Fullerton lawyers could seek several types of economic and non-economic damages for the injuries you sustained in a front-end auto collision.
Economic damages are the direct financial losses you experience from the collision. Examples of these damages include your medical care costs, expenses associated with home maintenance and support care, and other health care-related costs.
Some injuries also require an extended absence from work or prevent you from being able to return to work because of disability. You may have a right to compensation for any lost income, wages, or earning potential that the accident causes. We could also seek damages for non-economic losses such as:
You generally have two years from the date of the car accident to pursue a legal claim for personal injury under Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. To preserve the right to recover compensation from a liable driver or vehicle owner in court, you need to file a claim promptly.
