Common Causes of Rear-End Car Accidents

If your rear-end car accident was the result of another’s negligence or recklessness, you should not bear the financial responsibility of a car wreck you did not cause. There are many possible scenarios involved in the accident, but the most comm causes include:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Tailgating
  • Road rage
  • Driving too close for conditions
  • Drunk driving
  • Running red lights or stop signs

A driver is found negligent if they took steps that directly led to an accident happening or failed to take action when they should have, and it was that failure that directly led to the accident occurring.

Common Rear-End Accident Inuries

Rear-end accidents can cause severe injuries. If you have been involved in this type of accident, do not automatically assume your injuries are minor. Certain types of injuries aren’t always readily apparent after an accident. Therefore, always seek immediate medical attention and have a doctor determine your injuries.

The most common injuries associated with rear-end auto accidents include:

  • Whiplash
  • TBI
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Face injuries
  • Broken ribs

To receive compensation, you must file an insurance claim with the at-fault’s party insurance company. However, navigating the complexities of a car accident case on your own is almost impossible. Insurance companies will look for any reason to devalue or deny your claim. But, an experienced car accident attorney understands the legalities, as well as the tactics the insurance companies use to deny or devalue your claim.
