Rear-End Collision Lawyers

A rear-end collision is an accident that happens when a vehicle crashes into the back of the vehicle in front that has usually stopped. Generally, rear-end accidents happen when one vehicle quickly stops or slows down causing the car behind to hit them as they have little to no time to react. This can also be the results of distracted drivers or poor road conditions. Rear-end crashes can also happen when a vehicle rapidly accelerates into a vehicle in front at an intersection or crossing as the driver expected the vehicle ahead of them to move.

Even though rear-end collisions usually occur at lower speeds, they can still cause significant injuries, such as whiplash, hernias, and broken bones. Rear endings on the freeway are particularly serious with vehicles moving at higher speeds. As experienced car accident injury attorneys, we’ve represented a number of rear-end collision cases and seen many different injury and compensation outcomes.

Who Is At Fault For A Rear-End Car Accident?

 
When it comes to finding fault in rear-end accidents, insurance companies and police officers at the scene generally blame the driver who drove into the vehicle in front of them. The blame is based on the assumption they didn’t leave enough space or react quickly enough to prevent an accident from happening.

But, sometimes an accident attorney can find fault in the vehicle that stopped suddenly without warning. Although these types of accidents typically happen at lower speeds, they can still cause serious ongoing injuries..

Common Causes Of Rear-End Car Accidents

 

  • Drivers being distracted by their phone or by passengers
  • Tailgating
  • Auto defects
  • Reduced traction due to weather and conditions
  • Excessive speeds and erratic driving

Do I Need A Rear End Accident Injury Lawyer?

 

Timing is critical if you’ve been injured in a car accident. Our experts recommend reaching out for representation as soon as possible. Insurance companies may often make efforts to settle a claim quickly or compensate with a settlement that’s less than what you deserve.

“We sometimes see insurance companies that will strongarm clients into a settlement that does not match the value of the vehicle. It’s important to us that our clients know you do not always have to accept that first offer,” says Tarrabain.
