Why Rear-End Accidents Are Deceptively Complex
Rear-end accidents are often dismissed as minor fender-benders — and insurance companies aggressively use this perception to minimize settlements. The reality is that rear-end collisions are a leading cause of whiplash injuries, cervical spine damage, traumatic brain injuries from the sudden deceleration, and lower back injuries that can cause chronic pain. The force of even a low-speed rear-end impact can cause significant soft tissue and structural damage that is not visible on initial X-rays.
Fault in Nevada Rear-End Accidents
In most rear-end accidents the driver who struck the vehicle from behind is at fault for following too closely, failing to pay attention, failing to brake in time, or driving while distracted or impaired. Nevada’s modified comparative fault system means even if you were partially at fault — for example if your brake lights were not working — you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51 percent at fault.
