Rear-End Collisions

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of accidental injury in North Carolina, and rear-end collisions are among the most common types of car accidents. Unlike other collisions, drivers have little to no opportunity to avoid a rear-end collision. As a result, motorists are often entirely caught off guard, which can exacerbate their injuries.

At the Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, our dedicated team of Charlotte car accident attorneys have decades of combined experience successfully handling all types of motor vehicle collisions, including rear-end accidents. We are also adept at dealing with even the most difficult insurance companies, which means that’s one less thing you need to worry about.

A rear-end accident occurs when one vehicle collides with the back of another, often resulting from distracted driving, speeding, or following too closely. Despite their prevalence, the repercussions can be severe, ranging from minor vehicle damage to debilitating injuries. The aftershock of such accidents can bring about significant physical, emotional, and financial strain.

Victims of rear-end collisions may experience a variety of injuries, including but not limited to:

Whiplash: Whiplash is the most common injury following a rear-end collision. Whiplash occurs as a result of a sudden jolt that forces the neck to whip back and forth.

Spinal Cord Injuries: A severe impact can damage the spine, potentially leading to long-term or permanent disability.

Traumatic Brain Injuries: The force of the collision can cause occupants to hit their head on steering wheels, windows, or other surfaces, leading to brain injuries. Notably, the symptoms of a TBI are not always immediately apparent, meaning it is essential to get checked out by a doctor following any rear-end collision.

Broken Bones: Depending on the severity of the collision, occupants might suffer fractures and broken bones. Some of the most commonly broken bones following a motor vehicle accident are the wrists, legs, ribs and facial bones.

In North Carolina, the law protects victims of rear-end collisions. If you were hurt after another motorist rear-ended you, then you have the right to seek compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other related costs.

Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life are also considerable factors in determining your rightful compensation.
