Sometimes the dramatic wreckage in a head-on collision makes it difficult to determine which car crossed the line into the other car’s lane — and whether the driver of the other car had enough warning to have moved over and out of the line of danger. This is why every piece of evidence, such as skid marks on the pavement, is important — and should be gathered while the scene of the accident is still “fresh,” if at all possible.

Was the other driver intoxicated with drugs or alcohol, or did he or she fall asleep when crossing into the lane of traffic in which your family member was heading the opposite direction? Was cellphone usage or some other distractor a probable factor? After a New York head-on collision accident, lawyer representation could mean the difference between discovering key facts such as these that could “make your case.”
