Fatal Head-on Crashes in Oklahoma

Certain types of crashes are more likely to end in serious or life-threatening injuries. Head-on crashes are some of the deadliest collisions possible on American roads. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), head-on impacts have a nearly 56 percent fatality rate, making them much deadlier than other types of crashes. Despite making up less than two percent of reported crashes nationwide, head-on collisions contribute to nearly 10 percent of reported traffic fatalities on average. These crashes are often caused by drivers who veer into oncoming traffic and crash into other vehicles. If someone close to you is unfairly killed in a collision, you should pursue a wrongful death claim with the help of a skilled legal team.
