A head-on collision may involve passenger cars, small trucks, large commercial trucks, and motorcycles.  Head-on collisions are especially dangerous because the speed and forward momentum of both vehicles contribute to the force of impact. The force of impact affects the occupants of the vehicles who may be thrown violently forward against part of the car\u2019s interior.  In a high-speed head-on collision, the passenger compartment of the vehicle could collapse due to the forces involved and cause severe crush injuries and more.","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"Head-on collisions are particularly dangerous because the force of two vehicles that collide while traveling toward each other is nearly doubled. This means that a crash that occurs at relatively slow speeds, like 20 miles per hour, would feel like hitting a wall at 40 miles per hour. Since many head-on collisions occur at higher speeds than this, the force of the impact often causes catastrophic injuries.","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Are the Leading Causes of Head-On Collisions in Alabama?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Happens During a Head-On Collision?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Answer2"},"name":"Why Are Head-On Collisions So Dangerous?","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#Question2"}],"name":"Common Injuries in Head-On Collisions in Alabama","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Common Injuries in Head-On Collisions in Alabama","item":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/common-injuries-in-head-on-collisions-in-alabama\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
