The Dangers Of Rear-End Collisions

A rear-end collision can cause serious or catastrophic injuries. Even if you do not hit your head, you may suffer a concussion or other type of traumatic brain injury. Brain injuries can be difficult to diagnose at first because symptoms may occur weeks after the accident. When you are in a car accident that causes a hard blow to the body, you are at risk for a brain injury. It is advisable to get checked out at the emergency room to rule out brain injuries.

In addition to brain injuries, people in rear-end accidents may suffer injuries such as:

• Whiplash
• Spinal cord injuries
• Soft-tissue damage
• Broken bones

One of the most important steps in any vehicle accident claim is to determine who is liable. In rear-end collisions, liability usually lies with the rear vehicle. Even if the car in front slows or stops, the rear vehicle is responsible for avoiding the accident. Because a rear-end collision can lead to a multicar accident, it is important to have a lawyer investigate to determine liability.

If your vehicle was rear-ended by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to the compensatory damages. Please call our office at 910-251-8080 or contact us online to schedule a free, no-risk consultation.
