Common Injuries in Rear-End Car Crashes

In more than 35 years serving the people of Greensboro and greater North Carolina, our injury attorneys have handled hundreds of cases involving rear-end motor vehicle accidents. Injuries sustained in these cases range from minor to serious, including:

Whiplash is an especially common injury sustained in rear-end collisions. Whiplash occurs when the neck is subjected to jarring, sudden movement, and the consequences can be severe and long-lasting. In many cases, pain and discomfort associated with whiplash can last for weeks or even months and require chiropractic and other medical care.

Proving Fault in Rear-End Accidents

In most cases, the driver of the vehicle behind the one hit in a rear-end accident is typically at fault, but this is not always true. An experienced rear-end accident lawyer can evaluate many different types of evidence in order to prove liability and strengthen your personal injury claim.

Evidence used to prove fault in a rear-end accident may include:

  • Witness testimony
  • Expert witness testimony, such as by accident reconstructionists
  • Surveillance video and dash cam footage
  • The official accident report
  • Medical records
  • Photos and video of the crash scene
  • Vehicle damage
  • Debris and other evidence at the crash scene, including skid marks
  • Truck “black box” data
  • Cell phone records
  • Traffic data from navigation systems

In one case, we were able to successfully prove that a pavement marking company’s negligence resulted in a traffic slowdown that caused a terrible rear-end crash that killed a family of four on a busy North Carolina highway. In this case, we even subpoenaed traffic data from Google Maps to prove liability. We recovered more than $9 million in total compensation for surviving family members in this case (see disclaimer below).
