Barbra Thacker killed in El Paso County SUV collision

HEAD-ON ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Head-on crashes are frequently caused by driver error, including distraction, impairment, fatigue, or improper passing. However, excessive speed, hazardous road conditions, and mechanical failures can also play a role in these devastating collisions.

The Insurance Information Institute estimates that approximately 3,631 motorists lose their lives each year in head-on crashes, while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that frontal-impact collisions account for 58 percent of all occupant fatalities.

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said that in cases like this, an independent investigation by an attorney is essential to help preserve evidence on behalf of a victim’s grieving family.

“An attorney can gather the necessary evidence to demonstrate whether a driver’s actions were reckless, a process that often requires significant investigative resources,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Serving as an advocate, an attorney can compassionately guide a grieving family through this difficult time, protect their legal rights and best interests, and help ensure that a driver who fails to obey traffic laws is held accountable.”
