Rear End Accidents
When a vehicle is struck in a rear end collision, the unsuspecting occupants of the vehicle being hit are at great risk for severe injury because the impact is unexpected and the victim had no opportunity to brace or protect themselves. There are many potential causes of rear end collisions such as a failure of the braking system in an improperly cared for vehicle or drunk driving, but the leading cause of these types of collisions is driver distraction.

Types of Injuries from Rear End Collisions
The most frequently occurring injury in rear end collision cases is whiplash and concussion. Being struck from behind causes a tremendous amount of force to be absorbed by your back and spine which can lead to a spinal cord injury. Depending on the force of the impact, you may also be at risk of suffering catastrophic injuries. Unfortunately, in most cases accident victims suffer financial hardship due to lost wages and medical bills. An accident can change the rest of your life as many injuries require life-long medical care.
