Rear-End Crashes
We understand what REAR-END CRASH VICTIMS ARE GOING THROUGH!
Rear-end crashes are among the most common types of car accidents in South Carolina and elsewhere. One of the top causes of rear-end accidents is driver distraction. This often happens when drivers use cell phones and send text messages, activities that a lot of drivers do all the time.
In a rear-end crash, the driver in the back vehicle usually is responsible for the accident. A rear-end accident — even at slow speed — may lead to serious injuries, including whiplash and head injury, as the force of the impact causes the driver or passenger to fly forward. While rear-end crashes sometimes are impossible to avoid, there are ways to help prevent rear-end collisions.
Many states have laws prohibiting drivers from texting while driving. South Carolina has no such law.
Other Causes Of Rear-End Crashes
Other causes of rear-end crashes include drivers who fall asleep behind the wheel and drunk drivers. If you or a loved one has been injured, turn to a skilled rear-end crash lawyer at Peake & Fowler for a free initial consultation.
In many cases, the automobile or motorcycle that was hit was stopped at a stop sign, a light or in traffic. But the rear-most motorist may have a case if there was no other way to avoid hitting the front car.
