Factors that Often Contribute to Rear-End Accidents​

In a rear-end collision, it’s usually a lot easier to determine who was at fault than in other types of car accidents. Either the driver in front aggressively or frantically stopped their car without proper warning to the driver behind them, or the driver following didn’t take proper precautions in keeping a safe distance.

Driver inattention accounts for 87% of rear-end collisions, with nearly 30,000 casualties each year, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics. A distracted driver might be texting, eating, or even simply interacting with other passengers.

Some other common causes of rear-end accidents include:

  • Following too closely
  • Reckless driving
  • Panic stops
  • Poor weather conditions

If it can be proven that the other driver committed any of these actions, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit for compensation. When you hire an experienced personal injury lawyer from Henningsen Injury Attorneys, P.C., we will consult with an accident reconstructionist, examine police reports, review your medical records, and speak to witnesses in an effort to establish liability and recover damages.

Is the Tailing Driver Always at Fault for a Rear-End Collision?​

It is commonly assumed that the tailing driver is always at fault for a rear-end accident, but this is not necessarily true. While there is no denying that tailing drivers are responsible for a majority of these collisions – either because they were following too closely or distracted by their cell phone – there are certain situations in which the leading driver could also share some of the blame.

For example, consider the following scenarios:

  • The leading driver reverses accidentally or unexpectedly
  • The leading driver’s brake lights do not function properly
  • The leading driver gets a flat tire, but doesn’t pull over
  • The leading driver engages in an illegal driving maneuver

If you were involved in an accident under similar circumstances, it is important to establish that the other driver was at fault. Just because you were the tailing driver doesn’t necessarily mean that the other party is excused of liability – even though insurance companies may attempt to prove otherwise.
