A rear-end collision is a type of car accident that occurs when one vehicle crashes into the back of another vehicle. These accidents are often caused by a driver who is following too closely, also known as tailgating. Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of car accidents in New York City and throughout the United States.
Many factors can contribute to a rear-end collision. In some cases, the driver who rear-ends the other vehicle is clearly at fault. In other cases, the driver who was hit may be partially or fully at fault. In still other cases, a third party may be at fault. Determining liability in a rear-end collision can be complicated, which is why it is important to have an experienced New York rear-end collision lawyer on your side.

Some common causes of rear-end collisions include:
Even at low speeds, rear-end collisions can cause serious injuries. The most common injury from a rear-end collision is whiplash, which is a soft tissue injury to the neck. Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and then backward, causing the neck to hyperextend. Whiplash can cause severe pain and stiffness in the neck, as well as headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms.
Other common injuries from rear-end collisions include:
Some of these injuries can be life-threatening or life-altering. If you have been injured in a rear-end collision, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our New York rear-end collision lawyers can help you get the full and fair compensation you deserve.
In most rear-end collision cases, the driver who rear-ends the other vehicle is at fault. This is because all drivers have a duty to follow the vehicle in front of them at a safe distance. When a driver fails to do this and crashes into the back of another vehicle, they are considered to be negligent.
However, there are some cases in which the driver who was hit may be partially or fully at fault. For example, if the driver who was hit suddenly and unexpectedly slams on their brakes, the driver who rear-ends them may not be at fault. Similarly, if the driver who was hit does not have working brake lights, they may be partially at fault.
