Which Driver Is At Fault In A Head-On Collision In California?

The fault is determined by negligence. Typically, the negligent party is liable for any injuries and damages caused to the other person involved.

In California, negligence in a car accident is that:

• The defendant owed a duty of care
• The defendant breached that duty of care with negligence
• The negligence caused injuries or death

Duty of care is the standard that all drivers must follow. Failure to do so when driving is negligence. The standard of care requires drivers to:

• Use reasonable care when driving
• Watch for pedestrians, obstacles, and other vehicles
• Carefully control the speed and movement of the vehicle

In a head-on collision, the defendant is negligent because they were not looking out for the other vehicle. Examples of negligence in a head-on collision are:

• Improper passing of a vehicle
• Illegal left turn
• Illegal U-turn
• Turning in front of oncoming traffic
• Road rage
• Driving while impaired
• Texting and driving
• Fatigued driving
