Protecting Your Interests After a Rear-End Accident

We’ve all been there—waiting patiently for the light to turn green when suddenly your peaceful day is interrupted by the sudden intrusion of a rear-end collision. These accidents can range in severity from minor fender-benders to more serious crashes, and the injuries suffered by those in the impacted car can vary accordingly. While most individuals believe that it’s fairly cut-and-dry to establish that the car doing the rear-ending was at fault, the truth of the matter is often a bit more complicated.

Common Injuries After a Rear-End Accident

The specific impact caused by a rear-end accident can result in just about any type of injury (depending on where the individual was sitting and whether or not they were wearing a seatbelt). Some of the most common injuries can include some of the following issues.

Whiplash

Many rear-end accidents cause individuals to experience a sudden jerking motion that can put a significant strain on one’s head and neck muscles. Whiplash is not always apparent immediately, which is why we recommend getting medical attention right away.

Back Injury

The force of a rear-end accident can cause you to experience a herniated disc, a fracture to a part of your spinal column, and much more. Back injuries can be quite serious and may involve chronic pain, lasting mobility issues, and further problems that impact your quality of life.

Soft Tissue Injury

Soft tissue injuries typically impact your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Strains and sprains are the most common types of soft tissue injuries and can leave you with lingering discomfort in areas like your back, shoulders, and so forth.

Psychological Trauma

A rear-end accident—as with any type of car accident—can be quite a traumatic experience. It’s quite common to find that those involved in a rear-end crash experience chronic anxiety issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other psychological aftereffects.

One of the most common tactics employed by an insurance company after a rear-end accident will involve downplaying the severity of your injuries. Sometimes, the insurance company will even try to suggest that your injury was not actually caused by the accident itself. This is why we recommend making sure that you’re able to receive medical attention as quickly as possible and that you reach out to an experienced rear-end accident attorney like Brian C. Gutierrez, who can make sure that your interests are rigorously defended.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are usually the first type of damages that one will assess after an automobile accident. These damages include anything with a concrete economic value that can be totaled up after a rear-end collision.

Non-Economic Damages

Brian C. Gutierrez will employ the use of expert witnesses who can help assign a monetary amount to the trauma that you face after a rear-end collision, including emotional anguish, loss of consortium, loss of quality of life, and more.

Punitive Damages

In cases where the at-fault driver can be shown to have displayed gross negligence, we may also be able to pursue punitive damages. These are also able to be pursued if it can be shown that malice or fraud was a motivating factor in the accident.
