Common Causes of Rear-End Accidents
Rear-end accidents typically occur when one driver is following another vehicle too closely or failing to pay attention to traffic. Common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, using a phone, or engaging in other distractions.
- Tailgating: Following another vehicle too closely to stop in time.
- Speeding: Reducing reaction time and increasing the severity of impacts.
- Sudden Stops: Rear drivers failing to anticipate abrupt braking by the vehicle ahead.
- Driving Under the Influence: Impaired judgment and delayed reaction times.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Wet or icy roads making it harder to stop safely.
- Mechanical Failures: Faulty brakes or tires contributing to collisions.
If another driver’s negligence caused your rear-end accident, we are here to help you hold them accountable.

Determining Liability in Rear-End Accidents
In most rear-end accidents, the rear driver is presumed to be at fault, but liability can vary depending on the circumstances. Factors we investigate include:
- Negligence of the Rear Driver: Distracted driving, speeding, or tailgating.
- Contributory Negligence: Actions of the front driver, such as sudden stops or failure to signal.
- Third-Party Factors: Road hazards, mechanical failures, or other drivers’ actions.
At Yagoubzadeh Law Firm LLP, we will gather evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction to build a strong case for you.
