Fatal Head-On Collisions in Michigan

Despite being less common than other types of car accidents, head-on collisions are the deadliest and most lethal kinds of collisions. The Insurance Information Institute estimates that in 2020, head-on collisions accounted for just over 10% of all fatal motor vehicle accidents, resulting in an estimated 3,631 fatalities and thousands more injuries. Only 2% of reported car accidents are head-on collisions, according to statistics, but they cause far over 10% of traffic fatalities each year on average. When someone is killed as a result of someone else's negligence, it is known as a wrongful death. The surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit to get compensation.
