Rear-End Accidents

When you’ve been injured in a rear-end collision in Colorado, attorneys at a Denver law firm can help you determine fault and seek compensation. Rear-end car accidents can lead to serious injuries, especially when the vehicle in the rear is significantly larger than the other. Although fault usually falls on the vehicle in the rear, such fault is not always automatic.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a rear-end collision, you should have an attorney review your case. If you try to handle this kind of case without the assistance of an attorney, you may end up at a loss.

A Close Look at Rear-End Car Accidents

In this era of cell phones, text messaging and GPS devices, drivers have more and more points of distraction. They’re not just eating and reading the newspaper behind the wheel; they’re reading and sending text messages, searching for their favorite playlist on their iPod and entering data into their GPS devices.

When they negligently take their eyes or mind off the road, they can easily slam into the vehicle in front of them, leaving innocent victims with costly medical expenses and property damage. There’s no reason why you should be stuck with these expenses because of another driver’s negligence. Protect your rights by acquiring the legal guidance of Colorado attorneys.

Generally, the driver who was struck was either stopped or moving slowly, factors that lead to the following kinds of injuries:

• soft tissue injuries – when the head is harshly jerked forward and backward the result could be whiplash or cervical disc damage;
• carpal tunnel injury – this may occur if you see the car approaching in your rearview mirror and then brace for the impact;
• knee and ankle injuries – they, too, can be a result of bracing for the impact; and
• head and facial injuries – these could be caused by your airbag deploying.

Since insurance companies often try to deny claims for soft tissue injures received in car accidents, your best bet is to work with car accident attorney, D.J. Banovitz. Our Denver law firm can help prove your injuries and advocate for your rights.
