What Are Common Injuries Associated With Rear-End Car Accidents?

Even with seatbelts and airbags, the force of a rear-end collision can be tremendous. Common injuries include:

  • Whiplash, which can cause neck pain, stiffness, dizziness and chronic pain
  • Back injuries, including herniated discs, cauda equina syndrome and spinal fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can range from mild concussions to comas
  • Shoulder injuries, including dislocations and fractures that reduce the range of motion
  • Seatbelt injuries, including rib fractures and internal organ damage
  • Wrist, hand and facial injuries, which can lead to lifelong trauma and difficulty working

You have every right to expect the at-fault driver’s insurance company to be responsible and offer a fair settlement. That includes not only your economic losses, such as your medical bills, property damage and lost wages, but your noneconomic losses, such as your pain and suffering. Anything less is unacceptable.
