Were You Injured in a Rear-End Collision?
Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of car accidents and can result in significant injuries and damages. At Dermer Law, we are dedicated to helping victims of rear-end accidents secure the compensation they deserve.
Rear-end collisions often occur due to driver negligence, such as distracted driving, tailgating, or sudden braking. Victims of these accidents frequently suffer from whiplash, back injuries, or other serious medical conditions that require extensive treatment. At Dermer Law, we understand how overwhelming the aftermath of an accident can be, and we are here to help you pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Common Causes of Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end accidents often happen because of preventable driver errors. Here are the most frequent causes:
Distracted Driving
Texting, phone use, or other distractions take a driver’s attention off the road, making it difficult to react in time to avoid a collision.
Tailgating
Following too closely behind another vehicle reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of a rear-end collision.
Sudden Stops
Abrupt braking by the front vehicle can lead to accidents if the trailing driver is not maintaining a safe distance.
Weather Conditions
Rain, snow, or icy roads can make it harder for drivers to stop in time, especially if they are not driving cautiously.
Speeding
Driving at excessive speeds reduces reaction time and increases the severity of rear-end accidents.
Proving Fault in Rear-End Collisions
Determining fault in a rear-end collision is critical to building a successful personal injury claim. While the rear driver is often presumed to be at fault, there are situations where liability may be shared. Our experienced attorneys at Dermer Law will help you gather evidence and establish negligence.

Testimonies from witnesses can provide valuable insight into how the accident occurred.
Traffic Camera Footage
Video evidence can support your claim by showing the events leading up to the collision.

In complex cases, expert analysis can help recreate the accident to establish fault.
