Common Injuries in Rear-End Car Accidents
Rear-end collisions can result in many injuries, depending on how bad the crash is. Injuries suffered can include:
Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury. It results from sudden back-and-forth movement of the head and neck during a crash. This motion can cause damage to the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the neck. This can result in pain, stiffness and limited mobility.
Back And Spinal Cord Injuries
A rear-end collision can cause injuries to the back and spine. These include herniated discs, fractures, or spinal cord damage. These injuries can result in chronic pain or limited mobility. They can even result in paralysis.
Head And Brain Injuries
A rear-end accident can cause a victim’s head to hit the steering wheel, dashboard, or windows. This can lead to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), concussions or skull fractures.
Facial Injuries
Broken glass, airbag deployment or impact with the steering wheel can happen. These things can cause cuts, bruises and fractures to the face.
Chest Injuries
A rear-end accident may throw the driver or passengers forward. This can cause chest injuries from the seat belt or steering wheel. These injuries can include bruising, fractures, or even internal organ damage.
Arm And Wrist Injuries
A rear-end accident may cause a driver or passenger to brace themselves. This can lead to sprained or broken wrists, arms, or other upper extremity injuries.
Leg And Knee Injuries
A rear-end accident can cause legs to strike the dashboard or other parts of the vehicle. This can cause injuries such as bruises, fractures or dislocations.
What to Do After a Rear End Crash
If you have been in a rear end crash, you should:
Get to Safety
The first thing you need to do, if possible, is get your vehicle to a safe location which is well-lit. Move your vehicle if you are able to and you think it might be a hazard. You may even wish to move it onto the sidewalk.
Stay calm and put your hazard lights on. If you can’t move your car, make sure you and everyone else involved are moved to safety, but don’t leave the accident scene.
Make Sure the Vulnerable Are Secure
Make sure that the vulnerable, like pets, children, seniors and the disabled, are safe. Don’t leave the vulnerable in a hot, locked car after an accident. Don’t remove children out of car seats after an accident. Let first responders do this since they might be hurt.
Make sure children stay in the vehicle if it is safe to in order to stop them from getting hurt.
Call 911
Once you have reached safety, check everyone, including yourself, for injuries. If anyone has even minor injuries, call 911. Seek medical attention immediately for anyone hurt.
File a Police Report
Any accident which leads to death or injury must be reported to law enforcement within 24 hours. Any accident leading to death, injury or $1,000 or more in property damage needs to be reported to the DMV before 10 days elapse.
It’s important to make sure a police report is filed and you get a copy of it. An experienced attorney can use that police report to secure you the most compensation possible after an accident.
Keep Conversation at the Accident Scene to a Minimum
Keep conversation to the bare minimum to exchange contact and insurance information with other drivers and witnesses. Anything you say at the scene of the accident can be used against you to attribute fault for the accident to you and/or minimize the compensation you’ll eventually receive from insurance. Do not admit to anything or apologize for anything.
Collect Information and Evidence
Get the contact and insurance information of every driver involved, as well as their driver’s license numbers. Note the type, color and model of each vehicle involved.
Get the contact information of any witnesses.
Take pictures and videos of the accident scene from multiple angles. Be sure to document any injuries, property damage, and relevant roadway conditions, signs and signals.
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Seek medical attention as quickly as you can, even if you don’t think you’re hurt. Some injuries can take quite a long time to surface. If you wait too long to have your injuries documented in your medical records, insurance companies can claim that something other than your accident caused your injuries and refuse to pay you for your injuries.
