Were You Injured In a Head-On Collision Truck Accident?
Head-on collisions are among the most devastating types of truck accidents. The force of two vehicles colliding front to front is exponentially greater than many other kinds of collisions. Even with airbags and seat belts, the risk of catastrophic injuries, broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, paralysis, or worse, is high. When a loved one is taken too soon, nothing else compares to the loss.
Following a head-on crash, victims often face overwhelming medical bills, the loss of wages, permanent disability, and emotional trauma. Insurance companies are well aware of how expensive these injuries are, and they often work quickly to reduce their payout, dispute liability, or place blame elsewhere. You need a Houston head-on collision attorney who understands all the moving parts: how to investigate the crash, how to preserve crucial evidence, how to establish fault under Texas law, and how to fight aggressively in settlement negotiations or in trial.
At Hollingsworth Law Firm, we are focused on clients who have sustained serious injuries or lost family members in head-on collisions. We believe in standing with you from day one making sure your questions are answered, your pain is recognized, and your future is protected. We understand how urgent this is. Evidence can be lost, witnesses fade, memories change, and insurance companies will move fast to limit what you can recover.

Review all initial accident documents, police reports, photographs, and medical records. Our team carefully examines every available document, from official crash reports to hospital files, to ensure that no detail is overlooked. This comprehensive review helps us understand the immediate and long-term impact of your injuries and build a strong foundation for your case from the beginning.
Interview witnesses, examine safety features of vehicles, inspect road conditions, and bring in accident reconstruction experts if needed. We speak directly with witnesses and evaluate every contributing factor, including vehicle design and the roadway itself. When necessary, we partner with accident reconstruction professionals who can recreate the scene and provide expert testimony in support of your claim.
Preserve critical evidence and secure expert input to strengthen your claim.

We explain each stage of the process, outlining the potential results and challenges you may face along the way.

Texas’ Modified Comparative Negligence Law & Proving Liability
Because head-on truck accidents often involve complex questions of fault, wrong-way driving, impairment, swerving, distraction, our attorneys:
Conduct thorough liability investigations. We dig deep into the details of the crash to uncover exactly how and why it happened. This includes reviewing physical evidence, analyzing driver behavior, and consulting experts to build a solid case for fault.
Use Texas’s fault-based system and modified comparative negligence law to defend your interests even if there is a question of shared fault. Under Texas law, you may still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Our attorneys use this legal framework strategically to minimize blame assigned to you and maximize your potential recovery.
Work to preserve critical evidence and deal with insurance adjusters who may try to shift blame. We act quickly to secure evidence, such as black box data, skid marks, or surveillance footage, before it can be lost or destroyed. At the same time, we shield you from insurance tactics designed to place unfair responsibility on your shoulders.
Medical Costs, Lost Wages, and Long-Term Care
Injuries from head-on crashes often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care and may affect your ability to work in the future. We help you:
Document past medical expenses and future medical needs. We carefully gather records of all treatments you’ve already received, from hospital bills to rehabilitation costs. At the same time, we work with medical experts to project future care needs, ensuring long-term expenses are fully accounted for.
Calculate lost wages and projected loss of future earning capacity. Our team reviews employment history, pay records, and expert evaluations to determine the income you’ve already lost. We also calculate how your injuries may impact your ability to work in the future, protecting you from financial hardship down the road.
Secure compensation for pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and disability. Beyond medical bills and wages, we pursue damages for the personal impact of your injuries, including physical pain and emotional trauma. We fight to ensure that your lasting challenges, visible or invisible, are recognized and fairly compensated.
Handling all communication with insurance companies so you don’t have to. We take over every phone call, email, and letter exchange with the insurance adjusters so you can focus on healing. This ensures you won’t be pressured into saying something that could weaken your case.
Negotiating aggressively for a fair settlement, armed with strong evidence and expert testimony. Our attorneys use medical records, accident reconstructions, and expert opinions to build undeniable leverage at the negotiating table. We push back against lowball offers and fight for the compensation you truly deserve.
Letting insurers know we are prepared to take your case to trial if they refuse fair treatment. Insurance companies recognize when a firm is trial-ready, and that often influences their willingness to settle fairly. By making it clear that we will go to court if necessary, we strengthen your position and protect your rights.

Navigating Head-on Truck Accident Proceedings in Houston
When Hollingsworth Law Firm takes on your head-on collision case, you can expect:
Initial Free Consultation: You call our office or send us a message on our website. We will meet, in person or virtually, to go over what happened, your injuries, and gather basic documentation.
Investigation Phase: We collect police reports, medical records, photos, videos, witness statements, and reconstruct the accident scene if needed. Rough timelines depend on cooperation with medical providers and the availability of evidence.
Filing & Documentation: If there’s an insurance claim, we file demand letters. If litigation is needed, we file the lawsuit. In Texas, a two-year statute of limitations generally applies to personal injury claims.
Negotiation: Once liability is established and damages documented, we negotiate with insurance carriers. Expect offers back and forth; we keep you informed and advise you on whether an offer is fair.
Trial (if necessary): If a fair settlement cannot be achieved, we prepare for trial with expert witnesses, motions, discovery, and courtroom presentation.
There are a few common challenges that can be faced, including delayed medical records, disputes over fault, insurance companies undervaluing injuries, or refusal to pay for future care.
