Lawyers for Louisville, Kentucky, Area Car Accident Victims
Any type of auto accident can be very serious, but the sudden, unexpected impact of a rear-end collision poses special dangers. Injuries suffered in rear-end collisions are often extremely severe — and their extent may not be immediately recognized. To protect your rights and financial future after a car accident, it can be critical to contact a personal injury attorney.
Simply stated, the human body is not well structured to withstand the violent head lurches and other sudden motions caused by vehicle impact from behind. Physicians often refer to acceleration/deceleration injury in describing the head and neck injuries that often result. If your vehicle was recently struck from behind, you may be suffering from:
- Whiplash injuries, with effects ranging from temporary neck and back pain to chronic pain, long-term disability or the need for orthopedic surgery
- Serious spinal cord injuries
- Fractures, sprains and other bone and joint injuries
- Head trauma, which sometimes results in traumatic brain injury or mental disability
- Painful bruising or other consequences that can require a long recovery
Investigating the Cause of Your Rear-End Collision
Many rear-end collisions result from negligent driving behavior, such as:
- Tailgating
- Excessive speed
- Inattentive driving, which may involve cell phone use or a driver focused on tasks other than controlling the vehicle
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
