Serious car accidents in North Carolina occur every day. The outcome of a car accident can range from minor to fatal. Head-on crashes often result in very serious injuries as these types of accidents occur at high speed, leaving the other driver with little time to react in order to avoid a collision. The cause of these crashes should be carefully investigated, however, distraction, reckless driving, or impairment frequently play a role.
