Rear-end crashes can result in serious injuries

Rear-end crashes are often referred to as “fender benders,” but that term can be misleading. While some rear-end collisions are minor, many are severe and result in serious injuries. Even rear-end collisions that do not result in much vehicle damage can result in injuries to the people involved. Some of the most common injuries we see in a rear-end collision incident include:

  • Concussions
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Disc herniation in the spine
  • Brain injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Internal bleeding
  • Whiplash injuries

These injuries range in severity, and they all require medical attention. Even minor injuries can lead to major and unexpected medical expenses. Serious injuries can result in a victim incurring major medical bills, lost income, and even permanent disability.

During the latest reporting year in PA, there were more than 128,000 vehicle crashes. More than 1,100 people lost their lives, and more than 80,000 were injured. Out of these crashes, 22.5% were rear-ended collisions.

How do Bensalem rear-end crashes occur?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that the most common cause of rear-end collisions includes:

In most of these cases, a driver was following the vehicle in front of them too closely. In many cases, a rear-end collision is the result of a chain-reaction event involving multiple vehicles. When this happens, the situation can become very complex when assigning liability. In many rear-end collisions, the insurance carrier of an at-fault driver will try to assign blame to the other party involved in an attempt to lower the amount of money they have to pay in a settlement. A Bensalem rear-end collision attorney will be able to help you navigate these tactics.
