Rear-End Collisions
What Is a Rear-End Accident?
A rear-end collision occurs when an automobile or a truck crashes into the automobile in front of it. Rear-end collisions are usually the result of driver inattention, driver distraction or simply poor driving habits (as in impatient driving or tailgating).
Rear-end collisions can range from minor accidents at low speeds to serious fatal collisions at higher speeds. Even at relatively low speeds, the impact of a moving vehicle hitting a stationary vehicle from behind can cause serious and painful whiplash injuries to the drivers and passengers in the vehicle in front.
