New York Head-On Collision Lawyer
Injured in a Head-On Crash? Greenstein & Pittari, LLP Fights for Maximum Compensation.
Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous and deadly types of car accidents. Although they make up a small percentage of crashes, they account for a disproportionately high number of fatalities and catastrophic injuries.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a head-on collision in New York, you need a legal team with the experience and resources to hold negligent drivers accountable. At Greenstein & Pittari, LLP, our attorneys fight to secure the full compensation our clients deserve—because no one should go bankrupt due to someone else’s reckless actions.
What Makes Head-On Collisions So Dangerous?
A head-on crash occurs when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide front-to-front. The combined force of both vehicles moving toward each other often results in devastating impact and life-altering consequences.
Common Causes of Head-On Crashes:
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting)
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
- Driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
- Wrong-way driving on one-way roads or highway ramps
- Unsafe passing or overtaking
- Mechanical failures (e.g., brakes, steering)
- Poor visibility or road conditions (rain, fog, ice)
- Missing or ignored traffic signs or lane markings
Our legal team thoroughly investigates every aspect of your crash to determine how it happened and who is legally responsible.
Catastrophic Injuries in Head-On Collisions
Victims of head-on collisions often suffer severe or permanent injuries, such as:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ injuries and bleeding
- Facial trauma and skull fractures
- Severe burns, contusions, and lacerations
- Coma or wrongful death
If you or your family member is facing long-term medical care or disability, we can help you pursue compensation that reflects the full value of your losses—today and in the future.
Your Right to Compensation After a Head-On Collision
New York is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own insurance covers initial medical costs regardless of fault. But when injuries are serious, you can pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for additional damages.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
Economic Damages:
- Medical bills (including future care and rehabilitation)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Property damage
- In-home care or modifications
Non-Economic Damages:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship
In certain cases involving egregious negligence (e.g., drunk driving), punitive damages may also apply.
How Greenstein & Pittari Builds a Winning Case
We don’t just file paperwork—we build strong, evidence-based cases designed to maximize your recovery.
Our attorneys will:
- Investigate the crash site and secure all relevant evidence
- Review police and accident reports
- Interview witnesses and reconstruct the accident if needed
- Analyze vehicle damage and crash data
- Obtain toxicology reports and medical records
- Work with expert witnesses to prove liability and damages
We also help clients document their pain and suffering, loss of mobility, and emotional trauma to support your claim for non-economic damages.
Where Head-On Collisions Commonly Happen
These high-impact crashes typically occur on:
- Undivided highways or rural roads with no center median
- One-way streets or highway ramps when a driver enters the wrong direction
- Intersections where a driver runs a red light or stop sign
- Roadways with poor signage, lane markings, or visibility
If a road defect contributed to the crash, we’ll also investigate whether a municipality or third party may share liability.
Don’t Wait — Time Limits Apply
In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims involving government vehicles or unsafe road conditions may have shorter deadlines—sometimes as little as 90 days.
Speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
