Rear-End Accidents

A rear-end accident lawyer stands ready to pursue maximum compensation

Rear-end accidents are among the most common types of car accidents in Texas, and all across America. One of the top causes of rear-end collisions is driver distraction. With more drivers using cell phones to text behind the wheel, more and more motorists are in danger of being rear-ended.

In a rear-end crash, the driver who strikes the car in most cases is the responsible party. However, every accident is unique. There may even be an instance in which the driver in the back is not responsible for the accident. At the Herrera Law Firm, we work hard to investigate the circumstances of each crash and make sure the negligent party is correctly identified.

A rear-end collision does not have to occur at high speed to lead to serious injuries. A rear-end accident at moderate speeds may result in whiplash or head injury.

How to reduce risk of rear-end accidents in Texas

Many states have created laws that prohibit drivers from texting while driving. Texas does not have a ban on texting while driving, but some studies have concluded that texting while driving can be more dangerous than driving while intoxicated. It's best to pull over safely if you need to text, or wait until you reach your destination.

We also have seen fatigued drivers cause rear-end collisions due to a slow reaction time from being too tired.
