Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and death on Florida roads, highways and interstates. Collisions can occur in all types of ways, including rear end collisions, side impact wrecks and head-on collisions. The most dangerous type of crash is a head-on collision, which occurs when two cars smash into each other head first. The speed of the vehicles in these types of accidents usually determine the severity of the injuries suffered. If you, or someone you love, has been injured in a head-on collision in Citrus County, our Citrus County Auto Accident Lawyers at Whittel & Melton can help you figure out how to file a claim for compensation.
Even at lower speeds, head on collisions can result in cuts and lacerations, bone injuries and fractures, joint injuries and whiplash. More serious accidents can result in brain, head and neck injuries as well as spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and wrongful death.
