Rear-End Collisions on Highways
Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of highway crashes, particularly in congested traffic conditions. High-speed impacts can result in serious injuries, especially when multiple vehicles are involved.
Drivers must remain alert and maintain a safe following distance to prevent chain-reaction crashes. When approaching slowing or stopped traffic, it is crucial to reduce speed gradually and remain aware of surrounding vehicles.
Victims of multi-vehicle crashes often face medical expenses, rehabilitation, and vehicle repair costs. Understanding legal rights and seeking professional guidance can help those injured recover compensation for their losses.
