Oakland Attorney for Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident. An accident of this kind occurs when the front end of one vehicle collides with the rear end of another vehicle. Following too closely, speeding, drunk driving and driver distraction are the most frequent causes of rear-end accidents, but this type of car accident may also be caused due to poor road or weather conditions or defective or worn out brakes.

There is no charge for your initial consultation with one of our attorneys, and we will take the time to talk to you about your particular case to determine how to best assist you.

Rear-End Car Accidents - Who is Responsible?

Investigating your case and determining who caused the accident and should be held responsible is an important part of the legal services that our attorneys provide to Oakland rear-end collision victims. Although fault is most often assumed to lie with the driver of the second vehicle, the one that collided with the rear end of the first vehicle, this is not necessarily always the case. Your lawyer will investigate your specific case to determine whether this applies and will work with accident reconstruction professionals and expert witnesses if necessary to prove who should held at fault.

Even in an Oakland rear-end collision that seems relatively minor, the occupants of either vehicle may suffer from whiplash or other neck and back injuries due to the sudden forward and backward movement the collision caused. These injuries and the property damage the collision may cause make it all the more important to work with an attorney to seek the complete financial compensation you need.
