Kansas Rear-end Collisions
It is hard to predict if you will be involved in a serious automobile accident. If you do not have your eyes glued to the rearview mirror, you will never see a driver who hits you from behind until it’s too late. With around 1.7 million reported crashes each year, rear-end collisions are the most common type of collision in the United States of America. Approximately two million rear-end collisions cause 500,000 injuries and 1,700 fatalities on average. These crashes involve drivers who hit another vehicle from behind, and the jerky motion of the contact can easily result in neck or spine injuries. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt in a collision, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim with the help of a trained lawyer.
