According to Louisiana RS 32:398, drivers must report an accident if the accident results in injury/fatality or property damage of more than $500. Head-on collisions can cause both, leaving the victim with life-altering consequences.

How Much You May Be Able to Collect
What your case is worth primarily depends on the nature and extent of your damages. Your personal injury lawyer can go over all of your losses and calculate the value of your case. You may be entitled to recover damages such as:
Cost of Medical Treatment
If you are severely injured in a head-on accident, you may have sustained numerous injuries. As a result, you likely incurred high medical bills from emergency medical treatment and long-term care. Expenses may include surgeries, hospital stay, rehabilitation, or doctor visits.
Lost Income During Recovery
Being out of work during recovery may have cost you thousands of dollars in pay. Depending on your job, you may also have lost benefits, bonuses, or even tips. If you are permanently disabled or dismembered, we can also look at diminished earning capacity, or lost future pay.
Non-Economic Damages
Next, we look at how the accident impacted your life or household. You may have suffered from physical anguish or emotional distress, as well as a loss of consortium or loss of enjoyment of life. We can estimate the value of these losses and add them to your claim.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one in a head-on a collision, your family may be entitled to a settlement to recover your losses. Common claims in a wrongful death lawsuit include burial/funeral expenses, loss of household income, or pre-death medical expenses. You may also be able to account for pain and suffering of the deceased.
Keep in mind that you do not have to accept the insurance company’s initial offer. Furthermore, you are not required to communicate with the insurer. Working with our law firm, you can determine what your case is worth and what you are willing to accept as a fair offer. Before you speak with the insurance company, contact our law firm. We may be able to help you get fair compensation based on your actual losses.

What to Consider Immediately After the Accident
Any type of car accident can create confusion, severe pain, and emotional trauma. Consequently, a victim who has never been in an accident or filed a personal injury claim may make mistakes that can hurt their case. For this reason, you may want to retain a lawyer.
Keep the following in mind after a head-on collision:
- Limit your communication with any party, including the insurance company.
- Do not immediately admit fault—you may not have all the facts.
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if you believe you are okay.
- Document the accident and keep careful records of your medical care.
- Seek legal consultation from a car accident lawyer.
