Rear-End Collision

Rear-end collisions are among the most frequent types of accidents on our roads, often occurring when drivers fail to maintain safe following distances or become distracted behind the wheel. These accidents can happen at any speed, from slow-moving traffic to highway conditions, and the impact can cause serious injuries even in seemingly minor crashes.

The driver who strikes a vehicle from behind is typically presumed to be at fault, as all drivers have a legal duty to maintain control and keep adequate space between vehicles. Common causes include tailgating, texting while driving, sudden stops in traffic, brake failure, and driving too fast for road conditions.

Whiplash is the most common injury in rear-end collisions, but victims often suffer far more severe damage including herniated discs, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and chronic back pain. These injuries may not appear immediately after the accident, making it crucial to seek medical attention promptly even if you feel fine initially.

Our experienced attorneys gather evidence including police reports, medical records, and witness statements to prove the at-fault driver's negligence and secure maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
