San Bernardino Rear-End Car, Truck & Motorcycle Collision Attorneys
Today’s drivers seem to be more and more distracted while they are operating a motor vehicle. People’s automobiles have become their mobile offices, and communication centers. Drivers are talking on cell phones, texting, interacting with navigation systems, fiddling with the radio, or trying to control kids or pets in the back seat. Inattentive driving is the most common cause of rear-end collisions, even at slower speeds. No matter how careful a driver might be, there is always the risk of being involved in a rear-end accident due to factor’s beyond their control.
Rear-end collisions can cause significant damage to a vehicle, and usually, injury to the driver or other occupants of the vehicle that is hit. It doesn’t take much speed, to create an injury-producing impact. A rear-end collision can be caused by something as unexpected as a driver stepping on the gas too soon at a traffic signal, and hitting the car in front of it. Rear-end collisions can cause immediate, and often long-lasting injury, or in some cases the injury becomes apparent a day or two after the collision. Neck and back injuries caused by even a low-impact rear-end collision, can result in a lifetime of physical and/or emotional discomfort.
