About Rear-End Collisions

Of all the types of car accidents that a person may be involved in, rear-end collisions are the most common. They usually occur when a driver is following too closely to a driver in front of him or her, or when a driver is distracted and does not notice that traffic has slowed or stopped. Depending on the force of impact, occupants in either or both vehicles may suffer serious injury. Whiplash is most commonly associated with rear-end accidents, as are other neck and back injuries. In an Oakland rear-end accident, fault is most often assigned to the driver of the second vehicle, the one that collided with the first vehicle. However, there are some rare exceptions. Whether you were the driver of the front or rear vehicle, you will benefit from working with an attorney to ensure your legal rights are protected.

Ensuring you have the legal counsel of an experienced Oakland personal injury attorney is important in the aftermath of a rear-end collision. You may now be dealing with medical bills, lost wages from missed work, and the many complexities associated with your insurance claim. A lawyer can step in and begin protecting your legal rights immediately, working to help you recover money that will help you recover and begin rebuilding your life. You may be entitled to financial compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost earnings, any loss of potential earnings, pain and suffering and emotional trauma.
