Understanding Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end crashes can happen anytime, anywhere. In many cases, the front vehicle is stopped, but these collisions can also occur in other situations. Rear-end accidents in construction zones, intersections, stop-and-go traffic, and parking lots are commonplace. Frequent causes of these dangerous collisions include:

• Following too closely
• Distracted driving
• Alcohol, drug, or fatigue-related impairment
• Road rage
• Speeding
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Improper merging
• Inclement weather

Sometimes, a car may brake suddenly to avoid a pedestrian, animal, or other roadway obstruction, and another vehicle following them may not have enough time to stop. In most cases, the driver of the rear vehicle will be at fault for a rear-end collision. An investigation is often necessary to determine how and why a crash happened. This will establish fault and liability. You must have evidence proving a party's fault to file an insurance claim for compensation.

In some cases, the first impact may create a chain reaction. A car that is struck from behind may be pushed into other vehicles, potentially causing a multiple-vehicle collision. In these cases, insurance claims can be even more complicated.

Injuries in Montgomery Rear-End Crashes

You may sustain immediately apparent injuries in your accident, but other forms of bodily harm may develop over time. Whiplash happens when the impact force throws your head forward and backward rapidly, but this type of injury may not become known until hours or days after your crash. Other common injuries include:

• Airbag and seatbelt injuries
• Back injuries, including spinal cord damage
• Head injuries, including brain damage
• Facial injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal organ damage

While some injuries are minor, and they may have a minimal effect on your life, others can have life-altering consequences. Paralysis, permanent brain injuries, and disfigurement may affect you for the rest of your life. Along with physical injuries, rear-end accident victims often suffer from intangible wounds, such as PTSD or other forms of pain and suffering.

Although you do not have to partner with a lawyer, people who have effective legal representation will typically receive substantially higher compensation. With the assistance of a dedicated attorney from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney, you can receive a settlement that reflects all of your financial losses and the impact the accident has had on your quality of life.
