Head-on collisions occur when one vehicle enters the path of oncoming traffic. This can happen when a driver crosses the center line, drifts out of their lane, makes an unsafe pass, or enters a roadway going the wrong direction. Nevada law under NRS 484B.200 requires drivers to stay on the right side of the road to help prevent these types of crashes.
Many head-on crashes are linked to preventable mistakes, including impaired driving, fatigue, distraction, and risky decisions behind the wheel. These collisions are especially dangerous because the force of two vehicles colliding can cause severe injuries.
In many cases, the driver who leaves their lane may be responsible for causing the crash. Determining exactly what happened, however, requires looking at the evidence, including the scene, reports, and other details surrounding the collision.

Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of crashes because the impact occurs when two vehicles are moving directly toward each other. The combined force can create a much more serious impact than many other accidents, even when the speeds do not seem extreme.
People injured in these crashes may suffer serious harm, including brain injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and other trauma. Some injuries may require extensive treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work or daily activities.
Because the consequences can be severe, getting medical attention and documenting your injuries early is important. A strong claim often starts with understanding the full impact the crash has had on your life.
Some injuries from head-on crashes can affect a person long after the accident. A spinal injury may limit movement, while a brain injury can impact memory, focus, and everyday life. Many survivors also face long recovery periods involving surgeries, therapy, and time away from work.
The true cost of these injuries is not always clear right away. Future medical care, ongoing treatment, and lost income can all contribute to the impact.
Building a claim means looking beyond the immediate bills and understanding what the injury may mean in the years ahead. We work with medical professionals and other experts when needed to help show the full effect of the crash.
Head-on crashes often come down to one key question: which driver crossed into the wrong lane? The evidence can help answer that. We review police reports, dashcam or surveillance footage, vehicle damage, skid marks, debris patterns, and other details from the crash scene.
When the cause of the collision is disputed, accident reconstruction experts can help analyze what happened. They can examine factors such as vehicle movement, impact points, and timing to help explain how the crash occurred.
With Gina Corena’s background in insurance defense, our team understands how insurers may try to challenge fault or shift responsibility. We use that experience to prepare the evidence needed to support your claim.

Head-on collisions are among the most serious crashes because the impact involves two vehicles traveling directly toward each other. Nationally, head-on crashes make up a smaller share of total collisions but account for a significant number of fatal crashes because of the force involved. Nevada also continues to see hundreds of traffic fatalities each year, with many serious crashes occurring across Clark County.
These crashes often result in severe injuries, including brain injuries, spinal injuries, and other trauma that can require long-term care. Understanding the cause of the collision, the evidence available, and who may be responsible can make a major difference when pursuing a claim.
The process starts with a free consultation where we learn about your crash, injuries, and concerns. From there, we investigate the accident, gather evidence, and review the details needed to understand what happened and who may be responsible.
As your claim moves forward, we help document your medical treatment, expenses, and other losses. We then handle the demand and negotiation process with the insurance company to pursue a fair outcome.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may move toward trial. Throughout the process, our team guides you at each step while handling the details of your claim.
The experience of our attorneys ranges from insurance and commercial law to personal injury and other areas which give our team an unmatched ability to reach a favorable outcome in your case. We handle each matter with accountability and responsiveness, as if we were representing ourselves.
Almost always the driver who left their lane. Nevada law (NRS 484B.200) requires drivers to keep to the right half of the road, so crossing the center line or going the wrong way is strong evidence of fault.
You may still recover, usually through that driver’s insurance or their estate. We identify every source of coverage available to you.
Generally, two years from the date of the crash under NRS 11.190. Deadlines can vary, so it is important to understand what applies to your case.
Under NRS 41.141, you may still recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault, but your award can be reduced by your share of responsibility.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, no fee unless we win. The consultation is free.
