Fatal Head-on Collisions in West Virginia
Head-on accidents have a lot of force, which means they can hurt people seriously and change their lives. Reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that head-on collisions cause 27 percent of road departures and 14 percent of deaths on American roads. In the past year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that head-on accidents had a fatality rate of nearly 58 percent. The number is shocking and shows how dangerous it could be to be in this kind of accident. There may be a way for you to get justice from the person who caused the accident and their insurance company if someone close to you is killed in an accident that was not their fault.
