How Do Rear-End Collisions Happen?

Almost half of all two-vehicle crashes in a recent period were rear-end collisions, as reported by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). One of the leading causes of rear-end collisions is tailgating. It is dangerous to follow too closely under any conditions, and particularly at freeway speeds. Other causes of rear-end accidents include:

Speeding
Fatigued driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Mechanical failure (particularly brake failure)
Traffic congestion

Common Injuries in Rear-End Accidents

Even low-impact rear-end collisions can cause injuries that have devastating, long-term effects. When vehicles are traveling at higher speeds, the physical trauma can be severe. Common injuries sustained in rear-end collisions include:
Head injuries
Whiplash and neck injuries
Knee injuries

What Compensation Is Available for a Rear-End Collision?

If you were rear-ended, the driver who hit you who was likely at fault. Although there is no presumption under California law that the rear driver caused the accident, in practice, rear drivers are found to be at fault for most rear-end collisions. You should be able to recover compensation for your crash-related losses by bringing a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. Damages you may be entitled to include medical expenses, property damage, lost wages or earnings, loss of future income, and pain and suffering.

Why Choose Us?

After a rear-end accident, insurance carriers tend to focus on the amount of damage to the vehicle. If the damage is minor, they may deny injury claims or make a lowball settlement offer to be rid of your claim entirely. Previous injuries can make a person more vulnerable to injuries such as whiplash, which is frequently sustained in rear-end collisions. Under state law, a party who causes an accident is responsible for aggravation of a preexisting injury.

Our experienced team can thoroughly investigate your accident and fully document the losses you have suffered. We can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf, and fight for your rights in court, when necessary.

At Leslie Law Firm, we are planners who craft your case from the initial meeting onward, creating effective strategies to support your claim.
We keep you informed on the status of your case in real-time and offer communication specific to your needs, not ours.
