Rear-End Accidents in Fort Worth
Experienced Injury Lawyers Fighting for Your Rights
Rear end collisions can be serious. Many occur at low speeds and cause
little damage, but when these types of accidents happen at higher speeds,
the results of the collision can be deadly.
Accidents involving a stopped car can give other drivers little time to react before
hitting the stopped vehicle.
Negligent drivers can cause rear-end accidents easily. Examples of negligent
behavior that can cause rear-end accidents can include:
Types of Injuries Common in Rear-End Accidents

and rehabilitation.

- Broken facial bones
- Tooth damage
- Whiplash, Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) or other neck and back injuries
- Crushed limbs
- Fractures
-
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

The Costs of a Rear-End Accident
Due to the extensive trauma, a rear-end accident can cause, many victims
of these accidents can face high medical bills, lost wages, and emotional
distress. It is important that those injured by rear-end accidents seek
qualified legal advocacy from a Fort Worth car accident attorney to help
with their claim. Severe car accidents can be life-changing in many ways.
Treatment and recovery for a rear-end accident can be extremely expensive.
Many victims require multiple life-saving or reconstructive surgeries,
medical equipment, medications, assistive care, lengthy hospitalizations,
and other expenses. Without compensation, medical bills can cause serious
financial distress for individuals injured in car accidents.
A victim of a rear-end accident may become temporarily or permanently disabled
by their injuries and can be faced with changes to their lifestyle to
accommodate their disabilities. They may have to move homes or retrofit
their home to make it accessible. Transportation and independent living
can also be difficult for those disabled by a car accident. Individuals
who have been disabled by an accident also may be unable to return to
work, may require extended leave, or may not be able to work in the same
capacity as before.
Future income can be affected by
injuries, and victims can also lose wages while they are recovering from their
injuries. Combined with expensive medical bills, the cost of disability,
medication expenses, and other necessary expenses, lost wages and income
can heavily affect the families of injured individuals.
While the physical and financial impacts of an accident can easily be documented,
it is equally important to account for the emotional damages that car
accidents cause. Anxiety, depression, emotional pain, reduced quality
of life, and a lessened enjoyment of activities can occur following an
accident. TBIs may cause mood or personality changes that can be difficult
to deal with as well. An experienced car accident lawyer will ensure that
your emotional pain is also figured into your settlement.
