COMMON REAR-END COLLISION INJURIES
The most commonly cited injury from rear-end collisions is whiplash, which is caused by a sudden and violent movement of the head and neck. Many drivers who are hit from behind are often unaware they’re about to be in an accident, which increases the chances of their injuries becoming even more severe.
With no time for a victim to brace for impact, muscles tend to be relaxed, allowing the back, neck and head to move more violently. Serious injury often occurs from whiplash.
