Rear-end accidents are some of the most common crashes in Savannah, especially on I-16, Abercorn Street, or during rush hour traffic through Downtown. But even low-speed rear-end collisions can leave you with serious injuries, medical bills, and a long fight with the insurance company.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent car accident victims in Savannah, Pooler, Garden City, and across Chatham County. If you were hit from behind, we’ll help you prove fault and recover full compensation for your injuries.
What Causes Rear-End Collisions?
Rear-end crashes almost always happen because the driver behind wasn’t paying attention or wasn’t following safely.
Common causes include:
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, GPS use)
- Speeding or sudden braking
- Driving under the influence
- Brake failure or poor vehicle maintenance
- Stop-and-go traffic accidents
We investigate the crash thoroughly to prove fault and prevent the insurance company from blaming you.
Common Rear-End Collision Injuries
Even a rear-end crash at lower speeds can cause painful, lasting injuries.
We help clients suffering from:
- Whiplash and neck strain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Back and spinal injuries
- Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Shoulder, knee, or joint damage
- Emotional distress and anxiety
We work with your medical providers and specialists to ensure your injuries are properly documented and your care needs are fully covered.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If the other driver was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)
We calculate the full value of your losses—not just what the insurance company wants to pay and fight to recover every dollar.
What If the Insurance Company Blames You?
Rear-end accidents usually place fault on the trailing driver, but insurance companies may try to argue you:
- Stopped too suddenly
- Didn’t have working brake lights
- “Contributed” to the crash
Under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule, you can still recover compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. We push back against unfair blame with strong evidence and expert analysis.
