Rear-end car accidents account for over 30% of all car accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Many of these accidents are low-speed collisions, but even a seemingly minor crash can cause disabling injuries that require long-term medical treatment.
Whiplash is a common consequence of rear-end collisions. When your head jerks forward or backward during impact, you can suffer from a concussion or even a slipped disc in your neck or back. These injuries are not only costly on their own, they can also make you more vulnerable to future injuries.
Because rear-end accidents are commonly perceived as minor car accidents, many victims encounter problems with insurance companies who refuse to pay a fair amount of damages for their injuries. Insurance adjusters often use the amount damage to your car as a gauge of how severe your injuries are, despite the fact that these two factors are not significantly related.
