Why head-on crashes happen in the Western Mass area
Most head-on collisions stem from reckless or negligent driving. On two-lane roads in Hampden County or at busy Springfield intersections, a single mistake can put someone directly in the path of oncoming traffic. Identifying the cause is critical, because insurers often fight hardest when the crash looks severe.
The most common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Looking at a phone or GPS and drifting into oncoming lanes.
- Drunk or Impaired Driving: Wrong-way crashes on I-91 are often caused by intoxicated motorists.
- Fatigue: Drowsy drivers crossing the center line late at night.
- Speeding or Reckless Driving: Attempting unsafe passes on Route 20 or Boston Road.
- Failure to Obey Signs: Ignoring one-way or do-not-enter markings in Springfield’s downtown grid.
Proving negligence requires more than pointing fingers. Raipher’s team investigates every angle, securing police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to establish exactly what went wrong and who must be held accountable. With us, the burden of proof isn’t your problem. It’s our strategy.
Common injuries from head-on collisions
Head-on crashes produce some of the most severe injuries we see because of the sheer force of two vehicles colliding front-to-front. Victims often need immediate emergency care and months of rehabilitation. That reality makes it crucial to have a lawyer ensuring the full scope of injuries is valued, not downplayed.
The most common injuries include:
- Head and Brain Injuries: Concussions or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) from striking the wheel, windshield, or airbag.
- Spinal Injuries: Fractures or herniated discs that may cause paralysis or chronic pain.
- Chest and Rib Injuries: Often caused by seatbelt restraint or airbag deployment.
- Broken Bones and Joint Injuries: Arms, legs, or shoulders braced at impact often absorb crushing force.
- Internal Injuries: Damage to organs from blunt force trauma, sometimes requiring surgery.
Injuries like these change everything, from your ability to earn a living to the way you move through daily life. Insurers may try to argue that your injuries were pre-existing or exaggerated. That’s why having Raipher in your corner matters. We work directly with doctors and specialists to prove the true extent of your injuries and fight for the compensation you deserve.
What to do if you were in a head-on collision
The moments and days after a head-on crash can feel overwhelming. Taking the right steps protects both your health and your case.
- Call 911 Immediately: Ensure police create a detailed accident report, which becomes critical evidence later.
- Get Medical Treatment: Even if symptoms seem minor, seek care at Baystate, Mercy, or a nearby care facility right away. Many injuries worsen over time.
- Document the Crash: Photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries can make or break your claim.
- Avoid Insurer Pressure: Don’t give recorded statements or accept quick settlements before speaking to an attorney.
