Although rear drivers are often responsible for collisions, it’s not always the case. If you sustained injuries in a rear-end accident caused by someone else, a knowledgeable Austin car accident lawyer could investigate your case and help you prove that the other driver was responsible for your accident.
Rear-end traffic collisions can lead to serious injuries, including soft tissue contusions, sprains, strains, and head injuries – in the event that the accident victim strikes his or her head on the steering wheel, headrest, or driver’s side window. In many cases, it is true that the rear driver is solely responsible for a rear-end collision that occurs. However, that is not always the case, and in some instances, another driver can be responsible for the collision.
If you were involved in an auto accident and were the rear driver, the experienced Austin car accident lawyers at TK Injury Lawyers could evaluate whether another driver caused your collision and help you provide proof of fault. We could also assist you with filing a personal injury claim against the responsible driver and pursuing the monetary compensation and damages that you need for your injuries. Please reach out to us today to discover more about how we could pursue a car accident claim or lawsuit on your behalf, seeking the monetary compensation and damages that you deserve.
There are several ways that front-end motor vehicle drivers can bring about a rear-end collision and the rear driver is not the at-fault party. Just before the collision, the front driver could be changing lanes, making a turn, pulling out of a parking lot, or pulling out of a driveway.
In many cases, these front-end drivers are negligent or careless in one or more of the following ways:
Unfortunately, rear drivers are generally presumed to be to blame, so proving that the front driver – or a third party – should be liable is often an uphill battle. You want the right legal assistance as soon as possible after your crash.
If you were the rear driver in a collision and do not believe that you acted in a negligent manner, the experienced legal team at TK Injury Lawyers, could gather the necessary evidence and investigate the circumstances of your accident. If you were not at fault, we could assist you with filing a claim or lawsuit, seeking the monetary compensation and other damages that you deserve for your injuries.
