Our Orange City Car Accident Lawyers Will Prove Head-On Collision Liability
Florida is a no-fault insurance state. Most drivers must have a minimum of $10,000 in personal protection (PIP) insurance to pay for medical expenses and lost wages resulting from an auto accident injury. PIP also provides death benefits for fatally injured parties. PIP applies, no matter who is at fault for the crash.
However, if you have severe injuries and damages that exhaust your PIP, you can demand that the liable party compensate you. Our Orange City personal injury lawyers can establish that an at-fault driver caused your head-on accident, and you have the right to step outside the no-fault system to recover damages.
Common Head-On Collision Causes
The following reckless, careless, and wrongful actions often are the underlying cause of head-on crashes:
- Drunk driving
- Aggressive driving or “road rage”
- Distracted driving
- Texting and driving
- Fatigued driving/falling asleep at the wheel
- Illegal passing
- Traveling the wrong way down a one-way street
- Traveling down the wrong lane of a divided highway
Sometimes, drivers lose control of their vehicle and enter the wrong lane because of a mechanical problem, such as brake failure or a blown tire. We can hold manufacturers or mechanics liable if a vehicle or auto parts issue contributed to your wreck.

Florida Laws That Will Affect Your Personal Injury Case – Act Now
Changes made to Florida’s laws in 2023 by House Bill 837 have modified the state’s comparative negligence rules and shortened the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in the state.
According to Florida Statutes § 768.81, if the court finds you more than 50 percent at fault for your head-on collision, it will bar you from seeking compensation. Any fault assigned below 50 percent will reduce your awards proportionally. Previously, Florida Statutes § 95.11 allowed four years to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. You now have just two years to sue for personal injury or wrongful death.
Insurance agents know the law, so the above statutes will also affect your insurance claims. Our car accident attorneys can tell you more and help you get started before it is too late.
Steps You Can Take to Protect Your Orange City Head-On Collision Case
There are a few simple actions you can take to protect your claim for compensation after an auto accident, including the following:
- Seek medical treatment immediately if you have not already. You could have a condition with a delayed onset, such as a whiplash injury or undiagnosed internal injuries. Seeing a doctor will protect your health and also create a medical record for your case.
- Keep careful records. Document your medical care and save proof of your crash-related expenses.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the insurance company. If an insurance agent contacts you, do not agree to give a recorded statement. You could accidentally say or do something that could hurt your claim. Instead, tell them to direct questions through your lawyer.
- Consider hiring a head-on collision attorney. Our legal team will guide you through every step of your case. We serve personal injury clients on contingency, so working with us will cost you nothing upfront or out of pocket.
