North Carolina Rear-End Crashes
One of the most common kind of motor vehicle collision is the rear-end accident. Following too closely, speeding, texting, talking on the cell phone, drunk driving, failure to obey traffic signs, and drugged driving are some common causes of rear-end collisions.
In rear-end crashes involving vehicles driving at low speeds, there may be minor vehicle damage and a victim’s personal injuries may at first seem minor. However, it is not uncommon for a North Carolina rear-end accident victim’s back, neck, or head to start hurting later on. Rear-end crashes involving vehicles moving at a high speed frequently result in severe injuries and vehicle damage. Regardless, it is important that you consult with a North Carolina rear-end crash attorney as soon as possible.
Common rear-end collision injuries:
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck injuries
• Whiplash
• Paralsyis
• Facial injuries
• Concussion
• Head trauma
• Facial injuries
• Back injuries
