Causes of Rear-End Collisions and Determining Fault
The rear driver in a car accident is almost always at fault, although there could be exceptions in rare cases. In general, these accidents occur because of careless or reckless mistakes on the part of the rear driver. This includes:
- Inadequate following distance
- Distracted driving
- Intoxicated driving
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Losing control of the vehicle, such as sliding in rain or ice
Most rear-end accidents occur at a relatively low speed, but cases involving distracted or intoxicated driving can happen at any speed due to slower reaction times. Serious injuries may occur in accidents at higher speeds, including neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Some of these injuries may be fatal.
If you suffered damages in a rear-end car accident, you may be able to secure a payout for your medical treatment and other losses in one of several ways:
- File a liability auto insurance claim based on the at-fault driver’s policy
- File a personal injury civil suit against the at-fault driver
- File a wrongful death case if you lost a parent, spouse, child, or another family member in an accident, under O.C.G.A § 51-4-2

Bader Scott Injury Lawyers May Be Able to Build a Case for You
If we believe you have a case against the driver who hit you in a rear-end accident, a Roswell rear-end collisions lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers can go to work investigating your collision. The evidence we will use to support your claim or suit may include:
- The police report about your accident
- A survey of the accident scene
- Eyewitnesses statements
- Any available video of the accident
- Testimony from accident reconstruction specialists
- Medical expert testimony
- Your related medical records

Once we have a case to prove fault, liability, and your losses, we can file a claim with the other driver’s insurance provider. Once we make an initial claim, we can begin talks with the insurance carrier, and this may lead to a negotiated settlement. If they refuse to pay out a settlement based on the evidence we present, our trial lawyers will take your case to court.

Statute of Limitations on Filing a Fulton County Civil Case
O.C.G.A § 9-3-33 sets a deadline for filing a claim in a Fulton County civil court. This would be the most likely jurisdiction if your accident occurred in Roswell, although we can pursue cases in nearby counties as well, if necessary. All personal injury cases in Georgia must be filed before the second anniversary of the accident, with few exceptions.
Even if we try to reach an out-of-court settlement, we need to negotiate before this deadline arrives. We encourage you to call us as early in the process as possible so that we can get to work on your case quickly. Not only does this help to protect your right to take legal action, but it may also allow us to gather evidence that will not be available later.
