Rear-End Accident Claims Attorneys in Ocala

The most common car accident is the rear-end collision or rear-ender. Generally, these accidents are nonfatal, but when the striking car is traveling at high speed, fatalities do occur. Rear-enders happen in various situations, including:

• Stop-and-go traffic
• When a car is stopped at a traffic signal or stop sign
• When slower traffic merges with faster traffic
• When the car behind suddenly accelerates
• When the driver of the car behind is distracted by texting or some other activity

The Most Likely Injuries

The most common result of a rear-end accident is soft tissue damage sometimes called whiplash. The term whiplash has been used so casually that many think it is a minor injury. But in fact, it often has long-lasting consequences — headaches, immobility, chronic pain.

Other common rear-ender injuries include spinal cord damage, broken vertebrae and brain damage from the head striking the windshield or steering wheel. All of these are major injuries. Some will last a lifetime. Some will result in the victim’s death.
