Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of car crashes, often resulting in personal injury claims. When a vehicle is struck from behind, the impact can cause injuries ranging from connective tissue "whiplash" type injuries to traumatic brain injuries and severe spinal damage. Typically, the driver of the trailing vehicle is presumed to be at fault, as they are expected to maintain a safe following distance. Victims of rear end collisions may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. It's crucial to seek legal advice promptly to navigate the complexities of filing a personal injury claim and to ensure that all rights are protected.
