Birmingham Rear-End Collision Attorney

Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident, accounting for 29% of all crashes. About two and a half million of these accidents happen every year, and while many are minor, many are not. Nearly a million rear-end collisions result in injury annually, and about 2,000 deaths occur in a rear-end crash every year. Data from the Insurance Information Institute show that rear-end collisions are responsible for over seven percent of all traffic fatalities and nearly 20% of all two-vehicle collision deaths.

Even when these accidents aren’t fatal, rear-end collisions can cause severe and catastrophic injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injury, spinal cord and disk injuries, broken bones, facial scarring and more. Whiplash is another common injury from rear-end crashes that can be painful and debilitating and linger for a considerable length of time, sometimes leading to even more serious injuries if not promptly and properly treated.
