’Tis the Season for Rear-End Collisions 3 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU DRIVE

1. Rear-end collisions can cause serious injuries. People often think of rear-end collisions as “minor” car accidents that aren’t worth a trip to the doctor, but that’s not always the case! Even a low-speed fender-bender can cause a serious injury. We’ve seen people get whiplash, spinal cord injuries, and even traumatic brain injuries in rear-end collisions. If you’ve been in one, you should visit the doctor immediately. 2. Rear-end collisions aren’t always caused by distracted driving. Yes, someone could run into you because they were busy fiddling with the radio or eating a Christmas cookie behind the wheel. But there are other causes of rear-end collisions, too. Drunk driving, speeding, and defective brakes can also lead to a rear-end collision. You’re also more likely to end up in a collision if your tail lights are out, so check your car’s rear bulbs regularly. 3. A lawyer can help you secure a bigger insurance payout after a rear-end collision. Insurance companies have made it difficult to get compensation without the help from a lawyer, so don’t go it alone. If you call our firm, you’ll increase your odds of collecting the money you need to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We hope you, your friends, and your family stay safe from rear-end collisions this holiday season. As much as we’d love to represent you, we’d rather see you at home with your family, enjoying the holidays injury-free!

The holidays are almost here, which means every time you get into your car, you need to think about one critical thing: distracted drivers. Hundreds of people are driving back and forth to holiday parties thinking about Thanksgiving shopping, Christmas lists, and Mariah Carey on the radio, so you’re at a higher risk of getting hit! With that in mind, here are a few important things you should know about rear-end collisions, one of the most common car wrecks we see this time of year.
