Rear-End Accidents in San Diego

San Diego Car Accident Lawyer

Have you been involved in a rear-end accident? This is the most common type of car accident and involves a driver running into the back of another vehicle. San Diego rear end accidents most often occur because a driver is not paying attention or is following too closely and therefore is unable to stop his or her vehicle in time when traffic slows or stops ahead. Although fault is most often assumed to fall on the shoulders of the driver operating the second car, the one that collides with the rear-end of the first car, there are some situations where the front driver may be held partially responsible.

Injury in a San Diego Rear-End Accident

A person involved in a rear-end accident in San Diego may suffer from various injuries. Whiplash is the most common injury associated with an accident of this kind, due to the sudden force of impact whipping the victim's head forward and then backward. This is a type of neck injury often characterized by stiffness and pain in the neck, possibly radiating through the shoulders and arms. Spinal cord trauma, head injuries, broken bones and damage to internal organs may also be caused by a rear-end accident.
