Rear-end collisions are the most common car accidents in Rochester, New York. While these accidents can occur at any speed and on any kind of road, rear-enders are especially common at red lights, stop signs, and in parking lots. According to the Washington Post, every year, there are approximately 1.7 million rear-end crashes throughout the United States. Unfortunately, rear-end crashes are not always minor fender benders. In a recent year alone, rear-end accidents injured nearly 950,000 victims and caused 2,346 fatalities. This accounted for over 7% of all the motor vehicle fatalities that year.

The most common causes of rear-end crashes are distracted driving, tailgating, and speeding. Texting heightens a driver’s risk of rear-ending other vehicles by a factor of 7.

Whiplash and Other Rear-End Accident Injuries

Rear-end collisions are responsible for almost 30% of all car accidents. Crashing into a car ahead in a rear-ender is comparable to smashing into a brick wall or other solid surface at half the speed. For example, hitting a vehicle in front of you at 40 miles per hour, in terms of force, would be equivalent to striking a wall at 20 miles per hour. Although many rear-enders are low-impact collisions, others can result in shattering injuries, including:

1. Strains and muscle tears;
2. Musculoskeletal damage;
3. Shoulder and knee injuries;
4. Fractured and broken bones;
5. Soft tissue damage;
6. Pinched nerves;
7. Severe neck and back injuries;
8. Amputation;
9. Permanent disability;
10. Life-long disfigurement;
11. Traumatic brain injury (TBI); and
12. Total paralysis.

During even minor collisions, your body could be subjected to powerful stress, such as rapid acceleration, prompt deceleration, or excessive rotation. The spinal column is made up of several delicate regions. Victims commonly suffer from whiplash and other chronic complications at speeds as slow as 5 miles per hour. An abrupt blow from getting hit from behind can easily hyperextend muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Even if your accident seemed comparatively minor, you should never assume that you were not physically injured. Even if you do not suffer any immediate pain or discomfort, you could still have internal injuries. It is always in your best interest to get examined by a doctor to ensure that all injuries are diagnosed and treated.

Should I Consult With An Expert Rear-End Crash Lawyer?

Although your rear-end collision claim may seem relatively straightforward, retaining a personal injury attorney could be extremely beneficial. There are countless nuances specific to car accidents that only a practiced personal injury lawyer will be able to identify. Car accidents are very difficult to successfully pursue alone. Just because your car was struck from behind does not mean that the insurance company will offer you an equitable settlement. The defendant could dispute the claim that your car was struck from behind or deny the facts about how the contact occurred. For instance, defense lawyers frequently claim that the contact from behind took place because of an abrupt lane change by the victim’s vehicle. It often takes a highly skilled rear-end accident attorney to question the defense team and explore the authenticity of such claims. Our elite attorneys have numerous strategies that we employ when interrogating negligent drivers to expose their false statements.

Even when the cause of a rear-end collision is undisputed, insurance adjusters frequently exploit pro se plaintiffs’ lack of legal expertise. Your own insurance company may try to downplay the severity of your damages, resulting in considerably less compensation than you deserve. Jed Dietrich, Esq., famed as an American Institute of Trial Lawyers Litigator of the Year, and his remarkable team of Rochester, New York car accident attorneys are here for you. Our veteran attorneys recommend never to agree to any settlement offers before consulting with a lawyer.
