Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about head-on collision cases in Cocoa Beach

What should I do after a head-on collision in Cocoa Beach?

After a head-on collision in Cocoa Beach, your immediate priority should be safety and medical attention. Call 911 and ensure police document the scene. If possible, take photos of vehicle positions, damage, and road conditions – especially important on busy roads like A1A where evidence can quickly disappear.



Even if you feel fine initially, seek medical attention – some serious injuries may not show symptoms immediately. Keep all medical records and follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Contact our office as soon as possible so we can begin protecting your rights and gathering critical evidence.

How is liability determined in a head-on collision?

Liability in head-on collisions is determined by establishing which driver crossed the centerline or was otherwise negligent. Our team investigates factors like:



  • Police reports and accident reconstruction
  • Witness statements
  • Surveillance footage from nearby businesses
  • Vehicle damage patterns
  • Cell phone records
  • Road conditions and signage


In Cocoa Beach, we often see cases where unfamiliar drivers make dangerous passing attempts or become distracted by beach activities. Our extensive experience with local accident cases helps us effectively establish liability.

What types of damages can I get compensation for after a head-on collision?

Head-on collision victims may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:



     
  • Current and future medical expenses
  •  
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  •  
  • Vehicle damage and property loss
  •  
  • Pain and suffering
  •  
  • Emotional trauma and mental anguish
  •  
  • Rehabilitation costs
  •  
  • Long-term care expenses
  •  


Our firm has recovered over $1 billion for injury victims, and we'll fight to ensure you receive full compensation for all your losses.

How does no cost representation for head-on collision cases work?

We handle head-on collision cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we win your case. This arrangement allows you to focus on recovery while we handle all aspects of your legal claim.



We advance all costs associated with investigating your case, gathering evidence, consulting with experts, and preparing for trial. Our fee comes as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, ensuring our interests align with yours in securing the maximum possible compensation.

What types of injuries are commonly caused by head-on collisions?

Head-on collisions often result in severe injuries due to the combined force of vehicles traveling in opposite directions. Common injuries include:



  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Multiple fractures
  • Internal organ damage
  • Severe whiplash
  • Chest and thoracic injuries


Our experience with catastrophic injury cases, including our $28.5 million verdict, ensures we understand how to properly value and pursue compensation for serious injuries.
