Rear-end collisions usually come without warning. Drivers typically focus on their front and sides, not the rear of their vehicle. Even if a driver is aware of an impending impact from the rear, there is often no evasive action that can be taken to avoid a crash.

In hazardous driving conditions, such as heavy rain, snow or fog, a rear-end collision can occur when a driver does not adjust his speed for the conditions.
Normally, it is the driver of the rear car who will be found liable for injuries and damages. The exception to this general rule is when three or more cars are involved and there is a chain reaction collision. In that case, the driver of the car that started the chain reaction that would be responsible.
Rear-end accidents frequently cause neck injuries, back injuries, and whiplash.
These injuries can affect your range of motion, cause missed time from work, and can be costly to treat. You need to get compensation for all of these damages if another driver was to blame.
