Rear-end car accidents are among the most common types of collisions in Los Angeles, often causing serious injuries, significant property damage, and lasting emotional distress. If you’ve been injured in a rear-end collision, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. At LA Accident & Injury Lawyer, our Los Angeles car accident attorneys specialize in representing victims of rear-end accidents, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Why Rear-End Accidents Happen in Los Angeles
The bustling streets and highways of Los Angeles create an environment where rear-end accidents frequently occur. Common causes include:
Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or adjusting a GPS can take a driver’s attention off the road.
Tailgating: Following too closely leaves little time to react to sudden stops.
Speeding: Excessive speed reduces the ability to stop in time.
Sudden Stops: Abrupt braking in heavy traffic can lead to collisions.
Weather Conditions: Rain or fog can make roads slippery and reduce visibility, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Understanding the cause of your accident is critical to determining liability and building a strong case for compensation.
Common Injuries from Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end accidents may seem minor, but they can result in severe injuries. Common injuries include:
Whiplash: A sudden jerking motion of the neck can cause soft tissue damage, pain, and stiffness.
Head and Brain Injuries: Concussions or traumatic brain injuries can occur, even in low-speed collisions.
Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spine can lead to long-term pain or mobility issues.
Broken Bones: The impact of a rear-end collision can cause fractures in the arms, legs, or ribs.
Airbag Injuries: While airbags save lives, their deployment can cause burns, bruises, or fractures.
If you experience any pain or discomfort after an accident, seek immediate medical attention and document your injuries for your legal case.
Determining Liability in a Rear-End Accident
In most rear-end collisions, the trailing driver is presumed to be at fault for failing to maintain a safe distance. However, there are exceptions, such as:
Multi-Vehicle Collisions: A chain reaction crash may complicate liability.
Faulty Brake Lights: If the lead car’s brake lights were not functioning, the front driver may share responsibility.
Sudden and Unnecessary Stops: If the lead driver stopped abruptly without reason, they may be partially liable.
Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and work with experts to determine liability and build a strong claim.
