What Causes Rear-End Accidents?

All too often, rear-end accidents are the result of a driver failing to exercise caution, or in some cases, making deliberately dangerous choices. Common causes include:

• Reckless Driving: Impatient drivers may engage in tailgating, which can lead directly to an accident when the car in front of them comes to a stop.
• Excessive Speeding: When one driver goes much faster than the regular flow of traffic, the risk of a rear-end collision is increased.
• Distracted Driving: A driver who takes his or her eyes off the road may not be able to respond to a sudden slowdown in traffic in time. In many cases, drivers end up distracted by their cell phones.
• Drunk Driving: Intoxicated drivers will often experience delayed reactions and poor coordination, which can affect their ability to hit the brakes in time.

Our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to pinpoint the cause of a rear-end collision, as well as proof of the other driver's blame for the crash. As part of our investigation, we may gather witness statements, recover any camera footage from the incident, and note any evidence from the scene like debris or tire marks.
