When many people think of rear-end collisions, they think of “fender benders.” However, the term “fender bender” is misleading in these cases because it implies a less serious accident. The reality is that many rear-end collisions cause significant injuries and property damage.
Rear-end collisions are usually going to be the fault of the person who strikes the rear of the other vehicle. The contributing factor to these cases is often a vehicle following another vehicle too closely. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), other contributing factors for rear-end collisions includes the following:

The higher the speed at the time of an impact, the more severe the injuries are likely to be. In severe rear-end collision cases, victims can sustain traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. Each of these injuries can lead to long recovery times and major medical expenses for victims of a Dallas rear-end collision.
