Rear-End Car Accident

Introduction

Rear-end car accidents occur when two vehicles collide suddenly due to overspeed or driver negligence. These accidents are frequent and often happen worldwide. Their results can be minor scratches to severe injuries. The rear-end car accidents are like uncertain and non-planned situations that create an emergency. However, the important thing is to plan a protective shield after an accident, and it's possible when you have thorough knowledge about your rights. Understanding the rights and treatment options is like a navigation guidance for uncertain circumstances. Kambo's Law provides you with complete advice about the post-accident situation and ways to tackle it. We know the importance of compliance with local rules, so learn how Kambo's Law will help you.

Causes of Rear-End Car Accidents

  • Tailgating and following too closely leads to colliding due to a lack of speed adjustment in sudden braking.
  • Distracted driving (texting, talking, etc.) decreases focus on the road, resulting in tailgating.
  • Speeding and reckless driving need more time to stop, risking collisions.
  • Sudden stops or braking by front vehicles cause rear-end accidents.
  • Vehicle maintenance issues like faulty brakes reduce efficiency, causing collisions.
  • Weather conditions like rain, snow, etc., blur windscreens, reducing efficiency and causing rear-end accidents.

Common Injuries from Rear-End Accidents

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Head and traumatic brain injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries (muscle strains, etc.)
  • Other potential injuries (broken bones, etc.)

Determining Fault in Rear-End Accidents

Presumption of negligence (the rear driver is often at fault)

In rear-end accidents, the rear driver is often assumed to be at fault because he should maintain a safe distance from the front vehicle. Tailgating and reckless driving of the rear driver caused damage to both cars.

Exceptions to the presumption (sudden stops, etc.)

Sudden stops of front vehicles due to malfunctioning in the system or abrupt stops without any warning cause a collision of cars. Sometimes, adverse road conditions also cause them to stop the vehicle.

Importance of evidence (witness statements, surveillance footage, etc.)

Eye witness statements prove valid in knowing the cause and person involved in the accident. Video recording in road cameras can also clarify the whole situation. After learning the exact fault, a police report is an essential step to make a record of the damage.

Compensation for Rear-End Accident Victims

Medical expenses and treatment costs

At this stage, all expenses related to medical treatment are included. For example, hospital visits, surgeries, medicine expenses, and regular checkups are all covered by treatment costs.

Lost wages and income

Compensation for income lost due to lack of a job in illness is covered, and support is provided for patients to earn in the future.

Pain and suffering

Monitoring of pain and emotional distress caused by the accident and its effect on patient health is checked on a daily basis.

Property damage and vehicle repair costs

The patient applies for reimbursement for vehicle damage and other damage to personal property that was affected during the accident.

Other potential damages (emotional distress, etc.)

The compensation for other potential damage, such as emotional distress or any non-economic loss that occurred during the accident, is covered at this stage.
