Rear End Collision Lawyers
Our attorneys have the experience that gets results
More often than not, the driver in the rear vehicle is responsible for causing a rear-end car accident. The driver was usually engaging in negligent behavior, such as:
- Texting
- Speeding
- Using a GPS
- Eating or drinking
- Driving recklessly
- Driving drunk or under the influence of drugs
The injuries sustained in rear-end accidents can vary greatly. It depends on many factors, including the speed of the vehicles at the time of the crash. But even crashes at lower speeds can leave people hurt. Types of injuries seen in rear-end crashes can include soft tissue damage, whiplash, contusions and broken bones. More serious examples include injuries to the head, neck or back.
If a driver crashed into you from behind, resolving a claim sounds like it should be simple. The other driver was negligent, so their insurance company should cover the damages you suffered in the accident. But resolving rear-end accident cases is almost never that simple.
First, negligent drivers often don’t accept responsibility for what happened. They may come up with some kind of excuse, or they may even blame you for what happened. Their insurance company will likely take their side, because insurance companies aren’t interested in paying you fair compensation. They are interested in keeping their profits high by keeping payments low.
