Trusted Help for Victims of Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are among the most frightening and devastating crashes a person can experience. In an instant, victims and their families can be left facing serious injuries, overwhelming medical bills, the loss of income, and uncertainty about what comes next.
These types of collisions often happen when a driver crosses the center line, travels the wrong way, or drifts into oncoming traffic. These crashes may involve distracted driving, drunk or drug-impaired driving, fatigue, poor visibility, confusion, or slowed reaction times.
At Montlick, we understand how traumatic head-on collisions can be. Our attorneys are here to help the injured and their families understand their rights, protect their claims, and pursue the compensation available under the law.

Your Legal Options After a Head-On Collision
If a negligent driver caused your head-on collision, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim for the harm they caused, whether you were in another vehicle or a passenger in the at-fault driver’s vehicle. You may be able to pursue financial compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, property damage, and other damages.
If the at-fault driver has no insurance or does not have enough coverage, other sources of compensation may be available through your own auto insurance policy, including medical payments coverage, collision coverage, or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Helping Families After Fatal Head-On Collisions
Under Georgia law, family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim after a fatal crash for the full value of their loved one’s life, including both the financial contributions they made and the personal loss their family now carries.
In some cases, a separate estate claim may also be available to seek recovery for medical expenses before death, funeral and burial costs, and the pain and suffering your loved one experienced before passing. A Montlick attorney can explain which claims may apply in your case.
No legal claim can undo the loss of a family member. But a wrongful death claim can help protect your family’s financial future, hold the responsible party accountable, and recognize the full value of the life your loved one lived.
Injured in a Head-On Collision While Working?
If you were injured in a head-on crash while working in Georgia, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits in addition to a personal injury claim against the negligent driver.
Georgia’s workers’ compensation system is no-fault, which means benefits may be available regardless of who caused the crash. You generally do not need to prove your employer did anything wrong. The key question is whether your injuries happened while you were performing your work duties.
You may also have a separate personal injury claim, which can involve different rules, deadlines, and types of recovery than a workers’ compensation claim. A Montlick attorney can help you understand which claims may apply, how they may work together, and what steps may be needed to help protect your recovery.

After a serious head-on collision, your focus should be on your health, your family, and your recovery. Montlick can help take the legal burden off your shoulders.
Our attorneys start by looking into what happened and who may be responsible. This may include reviewing the police report, gathering medical records, speaking with witnesses, and collecting other evidence related to the crash.
We also help you understand the value of your claim. That may include your medical bills, future treatment needs, lost income, reduced ability to work, and the ways your injuries have affected your daily life.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Head-On Collisions FAQs
In Georgia, most personal injury claims after a head-on collision must be filed within two years of the date of the crash, under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. However, some cases may involve different or shorter deadlines and ante litem notices including claims involving wrongful death, government vehicles or agencies, minors, workers’ compensation, or other special circumstances.
Because missing a deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you understand which deadlines apply to your case and take steps to protect your claim.
After a head-on collision, your first priority should be your safety and medical care. Call 911, move to a safe place if you can, and get medical attention right away, even if you do not feel seriously hurt at first.
If it is safe, take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signs, visible injuries, skid marks, debris, and anything else that may help show what happened. Get contact information from witnesses, but avoid making statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault.
In the days after the crash, follow your doctor’s treatment plan, keep records of your medical bills, expenses, and missed work, and be careful before speaking with an insurance adjuster or accepting a settlement. An experienced car accident attorney can help you understand your rights and protect your claim from the beginning.
Head-on collisions often involve serious injuries, major medical expenses, future treatment needs, and long-term pain and suffering. These cases can also involve complex evidence, multiple insurance companies, and disputes over who was at fault.
An attorney can investigate the crash, gather evidence, identify all available sources of compensation, handle communications with the insurance companies, and negotiate for a fair settlement. If the insurance company does not make a fair offer, your attorney can also pursue a lawsuit on your behalf.
Having a lawyer on your side can help protect your rights while you recover. At Montlick, we handle the legal process so you can focus on your recovery, your family, and getting life back to normal.
