Causes of Rear-End Collisions

The combination of the sudden deceleration of the leading car and the lack of reaction time the second car has often leads to a rear-end collision.

Typically, these types of car accidents are a result of inattentive or distracted driving; however, a rear-end collision can be caused by the following circumstances as well:

Common Injuries Related to Rear-End Collisions

Many rear-end collisions happen at low speeds and oftentimes the driver of the lead car will see the oncoming car in their rear view mirror. Due to these factors, drivers who are hit can sometimes suffer the following types of injuries:

• Whiplash or other soft tissue injuries
• Knee and ankle injuries caused by flexed legs bracing for impact
• Carpal tunnel, also due to the driver bracing for impact
• Injuries to the head and face caused by airbag deployment

If two cars of equal size are involved in a rear-end collision, each car will generally experience equal property damage. However, when one vehicle is significantly larger than the other involved, the smaller of the two will usually experience the brunt of the effects from the crash.

In a typical rear-end accident, the injuries sustained by the passengers in the lead car are usually much worse than those experienced in the second car. Severe injuries experienced can include:

Sometimes, it can take a few days for the symptoms of serious injuries to become visible, so it is important to seek medical attention right away after being involved in this type of auto accident. If an injury victim fails to see a doctor and later experiences symptoms of debilitating injuries, it may be difficult to prove that the injuries were caused by the accident.
