Rear-end collisions happen fast, but the pain and disruption they cause can last for months or even years. Whether you were struck at a stoplight on East Main Street, slowing for traffic on Interstate 85, or stopped near Downtown Spartanburg, you shouldn’t have to pay the price for someone else’s careless driving.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injury victims throughout Spartanburg County who were rear-ended by negligent drivers. We fight to secure compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, so you can focus on healing.
Common Causes of Rear-End Accidents in Spartanburg
Rear-end crashes are nearly always preventable. Most happen because the following driver was distracted, careless, or following too closely.
We represent clients injured in crashes caused by:
- Distracted driving (texting, calls, eating, GPS use)
- Tailgating or unsafe following distances
- Speeding in heavy traffic
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failure to stop at red lights or stop signs
- Weather-related crashes due to poor judgment
Even at low speeds, rear-end accidents can cause lasting injuries especially to the neck, back, and spine.
Injuries We Commonly Handle
Rear-end collisions often result in soft tissue injuries that are downplayed by insurance companies. But these injuries can be serious, requiring weeks or months of treatment.
We represent victims who suffer:
- Whiplash and soft tissue damage
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Concussions and head trauma
- Back and neck injuries
- Shoulder and joint damage
- Emotional trauma, anxiety, and PTSD
- Fatal injuries requiring wrongful death action
We work with your physicians and specialists to document your injuries in detail and ensure your claim reflects your true losses.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were rear-ended in South Carolina, you may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Emergency medical care and hospital bills
- Ongoing physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Lost income and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Mental health care and emotional distress
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Funeral and burial expenses in fatal crash cases
We build a strong, evidence-based case to help you recover everything you’re entitled to.
What If the Insurance Company Tries to Blame You?
In most rear-end crashes, the driver who struck you from behind is presumed to be at fault. Still, insurers often try to shift blame by claiming:
- You stopped suddenly
- Your brake lights weren’t working
- You contributed to the accident in some way
Under South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault. We gather witness statements, dash cam footage, and crash reconstruction reports to protect your claim.
