Rear-End Accidents

Phoenix Rear-End Accident Lawyer

Were You Injured in a Rear-End Collision in Phoenix?

When your vehicle is struck from behind, your head can swing violently back and forth, damaging your nerves and causing whiplash. However, because these injuries are difficult to prove, insurance companies do not always offer fair compensation for soft-tissue injuries. This is why you should enlist the services of a Phoenix rear-end collision lawyer if you have been injured in a rear-end accident.

Rear-End Accident Compensation in Arizona

Rear-end car accidents happen frequently, and understanding rear-end accident compensation in Arizona is important for those involved. In a rear-end collision, the rear driver is generally held liable for damages related to the accident. Depending on who is at fault, compensation may include:

payments for medical bills
lost wages due to injury or inability to work
vehicle damage repair costs

In some cases, there may also be additional non-economic damages awarded such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of consortium.

These damages can have a large monetary impact on rear drivers found to be liable and are best addressed by our legal team who is familiar with Arizona laws on rear-end accident compensation. For those involved in this type of collision and filing for compensation, it is essential to consider all aspects of recovery to ensure that you receive what you are rightfully entitled and that suitable damages are awarded. Victims should consider seeking legal counsel when filing for rear-end car accident compensation in Arizona as the process can be complex many times requiring legal assistance from experienced attorneys to get fair compensations from the insurance companies.

Common Causes of Rear-End Accidents

Rear-impact collisions are the most common type of auto accident in the United States, with more than 2.5 million rear-end accidents occurring annually. Statistics show that inattention is the most common cause of these collisions.

Some of the most common causes of rear-end collisions include:

Texting or talking on the phone while driving
Driving too fast for conditions (speeding)
Failing to leave enough space between vehicles
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Dangerous weather conditions, such as rain

What To Do After Getting Rear-Ended

If you are ever in the unfortunate situation of being rear-ended, it is important to know what to do next so you can preserve important evidence and protect your right to compensation. First, you should see a doctor immediately—even if you don’t feel injured. Injuries from a rear-end collision can go unnoticed for days, weeks, or months, which is why you should get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. This documentation could also be crucial to your personal injury claim.

While you are still at the scene, you should also take the following steps:

If the accident is minor, move your car to the side of the road
If you or the other driver is injured, call for an ambulance
Contact the police so you can file an official accident report
Get contact information from anyone who witnessed the accident
Be polite, but do not admit fault for the accident to anyone
