Rear-end crashes are common and often clear-cut on fault — but insurers still fight the damages.
Fault in Rear-End Crashes
The trailing driver is usually presumed at fault for following too closely or not stopping in time, though exceptions exist.
Whiplash and Hidden Injuries
Even low-speed rear-end crashes cause whiplash and back injuries that insurers love to dismiss as minor.
Don't Let Them Minimize It
A clean liability picture doesn't stop insurers from lowballing your injuries. Documentation is your defense.
