Common Causes of Rear-End Collisions
A rear-end crash can occur as a result of a nearly endless combination of circumstances, though driver negligence almost always plays some sort of a part. In almost all cases, the driver who crashes into the car in front of them is usually considered to be at fault.
Rear-end collisions are most commonly caused by:
Following too closely
Speeding in poor weather
Driving while distracted Driving while intoxicatedFailure to brake in time
Driving while exhausted
While many of these collisions turn out to be little more than “fender benders,” rear-end accidents at higher speeds or between vehicles of vastly different sizes can result in serious injuries. Whiplash is the most commonly occurring injury, though head trauma, spinal cord damage, concussions, broken bones, and lacerations can result from more serious incidents. Since some of these injuries can have delayed symptoms and not surface until a certain amount of time has passed, it is urgent you seek medical attention as soon as possible if you should ever be involved in a rear-end crash.
