According to an NTSB report, head-on collisions account for only 3 percent of accidents on roadways, but they are more likely to result in fatal and serious injuries than any other types of accidents. Because there was not only a head-on collision but also an additional wreck with a vehicle erupting in flames, it’s important to have an experienced lawyer get involved. The amount of property damage and personal injury involved in this accident may be severe. The severity of these kinds of collisions is why hiring an attorney is essential.
