Factors in a Rear-End Accident Claim
In almost all cases, the driver who rear-ended the other car is at fault. In some cases, one driver may be mostly at fault, while the other is only slightly at fault. Even if you have some fault in an accident, you can still pursue a claim. First, you will need to prove how the negligence of the other driver led to the accident and your injuries.
Some examples of negligence that leads to rear-end accidents include:
- Texting or talking on the phone
- Eating while driving
- Driving while under the influence
- Using a GPS or radio
- Talking to passengers in the car
- Drowsy or distracted driving
- Speeding or unsafe following distance

You will need to gather sufficient evidence and point out clear traffic laws that show the at-fault driver's reckless actions are due cause for your compensation. I can help you through this process and ensure that you secure the best possible outcome.
