Washington Rear-End Collision Lawyer

Being involved in any kind of motor vehicle accident is frustrating. Back-end crashes are especially frustrating because they practically always occur as a result of another person’s recklessness or carelessness.

If you were hurt in this kind of wreck, reach out to an experienced car crash attorney at our firm. A confident Washington rear-end collision lawyer could help you seek financial compensation for any losses you experience.

Frequent Causes of Backside Accidents in Washington

One of the most frequent situations that lead to rear-end accidents in Washington is when traffic is stopped—either at a stoplight, a stop sign, or just in a bumper-to-bumper slowdown. A person in the lane behind another vehicle may be distracted by something or just not paying close enough attention, will fail to brake fast enough and subsequently slam into the back of another car. This kind of collision can also happen if somebody is tailgating on a highway and gets too close and hits the vehicle in front of them.

In either scenario, the assumption is almost always that the car behind is at fault. However, there are a few exceptions, as a rear-end accident lawyer in Washington could explain in more detail during an initial consultation.

Possible Injuries Following a Rear-End Accident

Because back-end collisions usually occur when traffic is stopped or in slow-moving traffic, resulting injuries are usually not catastrophic in nature. However, just because damage may not be as severe, that does not mean it is non-existent or insignificant. People involved in rear-end crashes may suffer from:

  • Cuts and bruises
  • Sprains
  • Soft tissue injuries of the wrist, shoulder, or neck
  • Headaches and even concussions
  • Whiplash
  • Reduced range of motion in the neck or shoulders
  • Depression or anxiety

All of these damages and more are possible following a backside wreck. However, it is important to note that while symptoms may not be obvious or seem severe immediately following an accident, they can develop or persist for days, weeks, and months after. That is why it is critical to seek medical attention right away, even if injuries appear to be minimal. That is also why it is helpful for an accident victim to have an experienced Washington rear-end collision attorney in their corner who could provide valuable advice and direction on such matters.
