Rear End Collisions

Frequently in rear end collisions, a driver is hit from behind by another vehicle without having any warning or chance to brace for the impact. This makes rear end collisions an especially dangerous form of accident that can leave victims severely injured and with badly damaged cars. Unfortunately, even when negligent drivers are clearly at fault in accidents, they are not always willing to accept responsibility for the harm they have caused.

In the state of Texas, the rear driver is typically the one considered responsible for a rear end collision. Drivers are expected to leave enough space between themselves and the vehicle ahead so that they can safely brake if necessary. If a vehicle is tailgating you or suddenly cuts into your lane behind you, he or she may rear end you if you need to make a sudden stop. Likewise, an inattentive or distracted driver may not notice that you are braking, resulting in a severe collision.

Whether the accident is a mild “fender bender” or totals your car, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and damages. Sometimes, however, other parties involved will try to make the process much more complex than it needs to be to discourage you from pursuing your claim. The other driver, his or her insurance company, or even your own insurance company may try to delay your claim or reduce the payment owed to you.

If you have been involved in a rear end collision caused by another driver, consider contacting a qualified Austin car accident lawyer to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.
