A rear-end car accident is when the front of one vehicle crashes into the
rear of another car or truck. In many instances, rear-end accidents are considered to be the fault
of the driver that collided with the front car since it is presumed they
did not leave enough room between vehicles or were distracted in the operation
of their vehicle that they did not notice the car in front of them braking.
Rear-end accidents are some of the most common
car accidents in the Kansas City area and contribute to the
significant injury of those involved in the accidents. If you or a loved one have been harmed

Steps to Take in a Rear-end Collision
Collecting evidence and seeking legal support are some of the most important tasks to prioritize if you’re involved in a rear-end accident. The following can also help your legal team determine appropriate compensation and help you seek justice:
- Contact the authorities. It’s crucial that all accidents are reported to the police. This ensures a report is filed and the initial investigation is started.
- Seek medical attention. Even if your injuries seem small, it is important to get a professional opinion. Some injuries are not immediately obvious and can come to light later.
- Consult an attorney. Get in touch with a personal injury attorney that has experience with handling rear-end collision cases. They can help you gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
In many cases, the driver of the rear vehicle is presumed to be at fault for a rear-end collision. This is because it’s expected that drivers should maintain a safe following distance and exercise caution to prevent collisions. However, factors such as sudden stops, distracted driving, weather conditions, mechanical failures, etc. can play a role in determining fault.
