Head-On Car Accidents in Boise

Head-On Accidents

Car accidents are among the most common causes of accidental injury and death. Head-on accidents, where the front ends of vehicles collide, can be especially dangerous and lead to whiplash, broken bones, and even severe concussions. When it comes time to think about legal action, you want a professional to handle all the complicated aspects.

At Parke Gordon Law, we represent people injured in head-on car accidents in Boise. Our skilled auto accident attorneys are committed to ensuring injured people receive all the compensation they deserve.

Head-On Crashes Can Cause Severe Injuries

When the front ends of vehicles collide, the energy created by the speed of both vehicles has nowhere to go but towards the drivers. Vehicle safety systems can only mitigate it to a limited degree. Both drivers experience the full force of the impact, often causing catastrophic injuries.

Obtaining fair compensation for life-changing injuries requires legal knowledge and skill. Our Boise attorneys advocate fiercely for survivors of front-end accidents, and we have achieved excellent results for clients with injuries like:

Complex fractures
Disfiguring or blinding facial injuries
Traumatic amputations
Crush injuries and organ damage
Head injuries and brain damage
Spinal cord injuries

Many survivors of serious vehicle accidents also experience psychological injuries that can produce persistent, debilitating symptoms.

Serious injuries are expensive to treat, and living with a permanent injury can be costly. Insurance companies for responsible parties often defend these claims vigorously. Working with an experienced legal professional to manage your claim allows you to devote your energy to healing and rehabilitation while giving yourself the best chance to obtain a fair financial settlement.

Legal Issues in Vehicle Accident Cases

Idaho has a fault-based system for handling vehicle accident claims. The party who is at fault for a crash is financially responsible for any harm the accident causes to others.

Proving fault means demonstrating negligence, which is a failure to use appropriate care to avoid harming others. Our Boise attorneys will review police reports, assess vehicle damage, and evaluate witness statements in a head-on accident case to obtain evidence of the other driver’s negligence. We also review all available video evidence and can approach an accident reconstruction expert when necessary.

When we can establish negligence, the next step is to prove your losses, or damages. However, there are legal obstacles that impact your right to damages or could reduce the amount you receive.

Statute of Limitations

Idaho Code § 5-219 allows an injured person two years from the accident to file a lawsuit in most cases. If you miss the deadline, a court will not hear your case and you lose all leverage in settlement negotiations. There are some circumstances that can pause the clock, as well as situations that might require you to act more quickly to assert your claim. The best way to preserve your rights is to consult a legal professional as quickly as possible after an accident.

Comparative Negligence

It is common for an injured person to be partially responsible for a car accident. Idaho Code § 6-801 allows you to claim damages in this case, but may limit the amount you can collect. You cannot collect damages if you are 50 percent or more responsible for the crash. If you were less than 50 percent at fault, your damages will be reduced proportionally. Thus, if you were 40 percent to blame, you can collect only 60 percent of your damages. Insurance companies may attempt to shift blame toward you to reduce their liability, so working with an experienced lawyer is essential.
