Phoenix Arizona Rear End Collision Attorneys

Rear-end collisions usually happen when car and truck drivers fail to pay attention to the road in front of them or how fast they are traveling. In highway accidents involving rear-end collisions, tailgating is often a cause, resulting from inconsiderate, impatient drivers in hurry to get where they are going at the expense of the safety of others. The auto accident lawyers at Koplow & Patane represent clients injured in rear-end collisions suffering from head, neck, and back injuries. Since tailgating and speeding are both illegal, measuring skid marks, interviewing witnesses, and looking at the damage involved is usually enough to establish fault. In rear-end collisions at stop signs and traffic lights, driver inattention is often the cause, involving talking on a cell phone, changing the radio station, or a failure to watch the road. In certain instances, we can recover video footage of a collision and introduce it as evidence at trial.

Complications Associated with Rear-End Collisions

Most people don't realize high and low speed collisions can result in serious complications that don't manifest themselves until months or even years after an accident. In stationary rear-end collisions, a person often suffers severe strain and trauma to their neck and spine.

Additionally, concussions are not uncommon; when the head is snapped back, the brain is often suddenly and powerfully thrust against the skull. Initially, a person may suffer from soreness and stiffness, leading them to believe their injuries are not that serious. However, as the swelling goes down, damage to vertebrae, nerves, and ligaments may result in loss of sensation, chronic headaches and pain, memory loss, even the loss of certain limbs.
