Regardless of the damage sustained to the vehicle, a rear-end crash can still lead to serious injuries, some of which are not always immediately noticeable.

Common Causes of Rear End Accidents

Rear-end collisions are typically the fault of the driver who strikes the other vehicle from behind. However, evidence can sometimes be shown that the actions of the lead driver contributed to the accident. Some of the most common reasons for rear-end crashes include:

• Tailgating: Drivers are supposed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of them. Unfortunately, many motorists drive too close and do not have time to avoid a crash when the car in front of them slows down.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit or reckless driving can cause negligent motorists to crash into stopped cars or cars driving more slowly in front of them.
• Drunk Driving: Intoxicated drivers have slower response times, so when a car in front of them slows down, they are often too slow to react accordingly.
• Distracted Driving: An increasing number of drivers cause senseless rear-end accidents because they are texting, adjusting their radio, eating, or otherwise fail to fully pay attention to the road.

Though speeds upon impact in rear-end collisions may vary, the element of surprise and a person's inability to fully brace themselves for the impact can lead to injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to whiplash to serious spinal injuries. Even if you do not notice an injury right away after being in a rear-end collision, it is important to seek immediate medical attention so you know for sure if there are any health issues that need to be addressed.
