CONSEQUENCES AND COMMON INJURIES OF REAR-END CAR ACCIDENTS
AVAILABLE 24/7, CALL US AT 1-866-597-4529
The most common consequences of rear-end accidents are property damage, medical bills, and personal injuries. Property damage can vary to small nicks and dings to the complete destruction of either vehicle. We have investigated claims where virtually no damage was evident from the vehicle that causes the collision resulting in the complete destruction of the vehicle it hits. The amount of damage sustained is directly related to the size, height, weight, and speed of the impact.
The types of injuries one can sustain in a rear-end collision vary. Most frequently we encounter clients who have sustained a soft tissue or whiplash injury from a rear-ender. These occur when the cervical or neck vertebra snap forward and then violently back, creating permanent disc damage. MRIs and CT scans are required to diagnose most of these types of disc injuries. Our office works closely with competent and experienced neurologists and trauma experts to understand the mechanism of these injures and present the most compelling evidence to resolve the claim or present the facts to a jury.
