Rear End Accidents in Austin, Texas
Rear end collisions are the most common type of automobile accident. On average, 2.5 million rear end accidents happen every year, thousands of them involving motorcycles.
Because motorcycles are small compared to cars and trucks, many drivers don’t see them—they’re only looking for, and so they only see, other cars and trucks in front of them. Rear end accidents result in motorcycle riders being bumped from behind, a type of collision that most frequently causes whiplash, which can cause more serious back and neck injuries, but may even throw a rider from the motorcycle, resulting in broken bones and even more serious injuries.
Since many rear end accidents happen because drivers aren’t looking for motorcycles, the motorcycle rider is rarely the cause of a rear end accident. As the victim, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. But insurance companies of the party at fault often don’t want to pay. You may need an Austin motorcycle accident lawyer to pursue your motorcycle accident claim to make sure you get a fair settlement.
