Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of car accidents and can cause serious, lasting injuries. Even a minor fender-bender can result in painful head, neck, and back injuries that disrupt daily life.
At Gharibian Legal Group, LLP, we help drivers, passengers, and pedestrians recover fair compensation when a negligent driver causes a rear-end crash. These accidents typically occur when a driver fails to maintain a safe following distance or is distracted, with common causes including tailgating, sudden stops, speeding, aggressive driving, poor weather, faulty brakes, or driving under the influence. Rear-end collisions often happen in stop-and-go traffic, at busy intersections, on highways, in parking lots, or construction zones, particularly in urban and suburban areas where congestion and distractions are high.

Injuries from these accidents can include whiplash, herniated or bulging discs, back and spinal cord injuries, concussions, shoulder or wrist injuries, and chronic pain, some of which may not appear immediately, making prompt medical attention critical. While the rear driver is usually presumed at fault, exceptions exist, and our firm conducts thorough investigations by reviewing police reports, examining vehicle damage and skid marks, obtaining dashcam footage, interviewing witnesses, and working with accident reconstruction experts to build strong, evidence-based cases. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, vehicle repair, and rehabilitation costs. Following a rear-end accident, it is essential to call 911, document the scene, exchange information with other parties, seek medical attention, and contact an experienced personal injury attorney.

At Gharibian Legal Group, we provide personal attention, clear communication, and aggressive advocacy, offering free consultations, no fees unless we win, and direct attorney access to ensure you can focus on healing while we fight for the compensation you deserve.
