Rear-end collisions in an automobile tend to produce clear and convincing evidence as to who was at fault. Nebraska vehicular law is written in such a way that the person responsible for the accident typically cannot avoid being held accountable for any injuries sustained in the incident. However, this doesn’t imply that legal guidance should not be sought following a collision of this type. Anyone who has sustained injuries in a rear-end accident needs to contact Demerath Law Office attorneys for a free consultation. We will ensure fair compensation is obtained, not merely for any physical injuries but also any other mental health issues resulting from this impact.
Insurance companies operate for profit; thus, they don’t protect the rights of those injured in a rear-end collision. They understand Nebraska law favors the injured party and work to pay out as little as possible, even if the injury results in death. Often, victims find they are pressured to take an early settlement, but individuals shouldn’t agree to any settlement without speaking to an attorney to ensure they receive fair compensation. The problem with many accidents of this type of vehicle appears to sustain little damage if any. As a result, they argue the occupants weren’t seriously injured either. Nothing is further from the truth.
When a vehicle is hit from the rear, the occupants are often thrown violently forward and back. When this happens, there may be trauma to the soft tissues of the back and neck. Even low-speed collisions may bring on a severe case of whiplash, and in certain cases, surgery may be required to repair damage to disc tissue in these areas. Furthermore, individuals who see the collision coming may develop severe carpal tunnel as a result of tightly gripping the steering wheel at impact.
In addition, the headrest, steering wheel, or rearview mirror may be hit during the collision, leading to brain damage. As cars become lighter, bumpers may not be able to absorb as much force in the impact. This can lead to a person suffering a concussion, lacerations, bruises, and more. Furthermore, as the body moves violently upon impact, the seat belt may leave bruises, or a person may be injured when the airbag deploys, as this safety feature can cause burns.
Many individuals don’t stop considering the various factors that may play a role in their injuries. For example, headrest positioning could contribute to neck injuries or prevent them. A person is seated in the vehicle is also of importance, as those closest to the impact may be more severely injured or even died. Seat belts and airbags are designed to prevent serious injury, yet they may contribute to minor injuries when doing so. Furthermore, when a person knows an impact is inevitable, he or she might tense up, and this can play a role in how serious their injuries are.
A number of factors may lead to an accident of this type. Drivers who fail to maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the vehicle in front of them often end up in an accident of this type, as they can’t stop quickly. The same is true of those who are speeding and those who change lanes without paying attention to their surroundings. Driving under the influence could play a role in an accident of this type, and distracted driving remains a problem in this country, even with awareness campaigns bringing more attention to this issue. Road and weather conditions can result in a rear-end accident, or a person may be driving a vehicle that isn’t safe to be on the road, such as a car with defective brakes or tires lacking sufficient tread.
Rear-end collisions account for approximately 40 percent of accidents; however, every rear-end collision is not the fault of the person who was rear-ended. An experienced attorney looks at all facts of the case and develops a plan based on extenuating circumstances, such as a road rage incident, ensuring lanes were changed safely, and safety defects in the vehicle impacted to determine liability in a vehicle accident.
