Rear-End Accidents Occur Because of Another Driver’s Negligence
In a 2003 review of more than 50 years of professional driver training records, leading training company Smith System found that most rear-end accidents occurred because drivers do not leave an adequate distance between their vehicle and the car in front of them. They reach a four-second following distance in most traffic conditions, which is more than double what most motorists allowed in their study.
In addition to inadequate following distance, there are other reasons why drivers may run into the back of your vehicle when traffic is stopped or when you are at a stop sign or red light.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 10,500 people died in drunk driving accidents in 2018. Impaired driving continues to be a major problem nationwide, including in Georgia. Distracted driving is also a frequent contributing factor to rear-end car accidents. Georgia has a hands-free driving law, O.C.G.A. § 40-6-241, but this does not stop all distractions, including all phone-related distractions.

Bader Scott Injury Lawyers Builds Car Accident Cases for Victims
If we represent you in your rear-end accident case, your Warner Robins rear-end collisions lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers will take steps to develop a case for compensation on your behalf. This could include:
● Managing all communication related to your case
● Identifying all involved parties and assigning liability
● Gathering evidence to prove negligence and liability
● Working with experts when necessary to support your claim
● Documenting your accident-related damages
If necessary, we can file personal injury car accident lawsuits in civil courts in Houston and Peach counties or other jurisdictions nearby. However, when successful, these cases most commonly settle without needing to go to court or file a lawsuit.
We present the evidence of negligence, liability, and losses to the insurance company representing the at-fault driver. Once they accept that their policyholder most likely caused the accident and they will still have to pay if we take the case to court, they will negotiate with us to reach a fair agreement in most cases.
To learn more or to get answers to your questions about this process, call Bader Scott Injury Lawyers now. Our team is available to help you understand your case based on Georgia state laws and the details of your accident.

Statute of Limitations on Rear-End Accident Cases in Georgia
In the event we do need to take legal action in your case, we have up to two years to file the appropriate paperwork under O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. While there are exceptions to this statute of limitations, we are very careful to ensure we meet this deadline when possible.
Most accident victims will lose the right to file a civil suit in a Houston County or Peach County court when this time limit elapses. Missing the deadline set by the statute of limitations could mean you are not able to recover just compensation or hold the at-fault driver liable in your case.
