PROVING LIABILITY IN REAR-END COLLISIONS
Every driver is required by law to maintain a safe distance from the driver in front of them.
Although this may appear to make a rear-end collision case a foregone conclusion, the fact is that skilled legal representation is critical for obtaining the best possible outcome in your case. Aside from tailgating, other common causes of rear-end car accidents include distracted driving and drunk driving. We have a lot of experience with these types of cases, and we know how to prove what caused your injuries.
Our top legal team will move quickly to begin the investigations and case preparation. We collaborate with accident reconstructionists to determine defendants' fault, expert medical witnesses to determine the full extent of our client's medical costs, and other specialists to strengthen our clients' cases. We will do everything in our power to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation allowed by law.
We handle serious injury and wrongful death claims resulting from rear-end collisions. We have the legal experience and knowledge to help you obtain whatever compensation is available in your case, whether you have suffered whiplash, spinal cord injuries, amputations, brain injuries, or the loss of someone you love.

COMMON CAUSES OF REAR-END ACCIDENTSDistracted driving is one of the leading causes of rear-end collisions. If a driver is not paying full attention to the road and the car in front of him, he is less likely to be prepared to stop if the car in front of him suddenly slams on the brakes. Other common causes of rear-end collisions are:
- Tailgating: If a driver is tailgating you, he is more likely to rear-end you if you have to come to a complete stop.
- Reckless driving: If a driver is not following the rules of the road, he could rear-end you in a variety of situations, including speeding, changing lanes without properly checking first, or illegal passing.
- Drunk or intoxicated driving: If a driver is under the influence of any substance, it is more likely that their depth perception or general judgment will be impaired, increasing the likelihood of them rear-ending your vehicle.
You can't always avoid being rear-ended by another car, but you can avoid being the one who causes one. To avoid a rear-end collision, pay attention to the traffic ahead of you and make sure you are following the rules of the road.

COMMON REAR-END COLLISION INJURIESSimply because an accident occurred does not imply that there were personal injuries or damages. Damage to the vehicles involved in a rear-end collision is frequently minor, or what is referred to as a fender bender. In other cases, if the offending vehicle is a truck, bus, or SUV, the vehicle damage can be severe.
Serious personal injuries can occur regardless of the force of the impact. Head and neck injuries are among the most common types of injuries sustained in rear-end collisions. These injuries may not be obvious at first, but their symptoms frequently worsen in the days following the accident, necessitating extensive medical treatment and even surgical intervention.
- Back and neck injuries including spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Herniated discs to the back or to the neck
- Facial injuries and eye injuries
- Head injuries including concussions and traumatic brain injury
- Burn injuries
- Fractures to the arms, legs, chest, and other areas of the body
- Wrongful Death
