Even Rear-End Crashes Can be Serious

Many people refer to rear-end collisions as “fender benders” since these crashes tend to happen at slower speeds and cause minimal damage to the vehicles involved. However, never underestimate a rear-end collision’s ability to result in serious injuries. Always get a medical evaluation and, if you have injuries, discuss your rights with an Oviedo and Casselberry car accident attorney.

When another vehicle slams into the back of your car, you often have no warning the accident is about to occur. You do not have time to brace yourself or take any action to prepare for the impact.

A rear-end impact can jolt your body forward and back – often violently. This can happen even if you are wearing a seat belt and if airbags deploy. These safety features do little to protect you from this jolt and the resulting injuries to your body. Some common injuries include:

All of these injuries need medical care, resulting in medical bills and other losses. Whenever someone else causes a crash, and you suffer losses, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses. This is true no matter how minor a rear-end collision might seem at first.
