According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 1 out of every 50 motor vehicle accidents throughout the United States is classified as a head on collision. While this may seem insignificant statistically, head on collisions are the most dangerous of any type of auto accident, resulting in the most traffic fatalities as well as the most severe associated injuries. Arizona drivers must be aware of the serious danger linked to head on collisions.
Wrongful death claims are most commonly seen in head on collisions in Arizona. Due to the high impact of these types of crashes, motorist and passengers are typically unable to survive the force of the motor vehicle crash. As a result, Arizona drivers must utilize defensive driving at all times when navigating the roads and highways throughout the state.
Phillips Law Group believes that negligent motorists must be held responsible for the damages and injuries that they cause to innocent accident victims. If you or a loved one has suffered damages from a head on collision in Arizona, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Contact an Arizona auto accident attorney today for help.

Causes of Head On Collisions
The Arizona Department of Transportation recorded over 100,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2011. Traffic collisions can be truly life changing to those involved. When a head on crash occurs, the associated injuries are typically very severe, often requiring medical care. Due to the widespread impact of these types of accidents, Arizona motorists must be aware of what causes these crashes in an attempt to avoid them.
The following are some of the most common causes of head on collisions:
- Operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
- Turning around a corner at high speeds
- Neglecting to adhere to traffic signs, rules, and regulations
- Improper judgment when passing another vehicle
- Wide turns around a bend with a blind spot
- Obstacles in the road such as debris or animals
- Tire blowout
- Adverse weather conditions limiting visibility
- Turning into oncoming traffic
- Altered traffic patterns due to construction
While these are the most common causes, a wide range of factors may contribute to a head on accident. Any situation where two vehicles collide when moving in opposite directions, or when a vehicle hits a fixed object, are all considered head on collisions.
If you or a loved one has endured a head on collision, you may be entitled to funds to help you to recover from your losses. Contact one of our Arizona car crash lawyers to learn more.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...
