Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are some ways that head-on collisions can be prevented in Gainesville and Ocala? 

A:

As an accident attorney for the Gainesville and Ocala area and it's surrounding rural communites, I can say that this is a very important question and topic, as head-on collisions are very serious and can often cause fatalities and serious injury. In addition, head-on crashes occur more commonly on rural roads.

Most of the basic prevention suggestions listed below apply equally to a driver wanting to avoid causing a head-on crash and also to the driver wanting to avoid being a victim of another person's mistake.  Here are some of the main things that you can do to prevent being in a head-on crash:

• Pay attention to the road and do not drive distracted with cell phones or other driver distractions  
• Do not drive under the influence
• Pay extra attention in construction zones
• Wear necessary prescription eye glasses
• Do not drive when emotionally upset, fatigued or tired
• Obey directional road signs
• Obey the speed limits
• Know when and where is the proper time and place to pass another vehicle on a 2 lane road; know the rules for passing another vehicle.
• Keep your vehicle properly maintained at all times including proper care of your tires
