Rear-End Collision FAQs
Who is usually at fault in a rear-end collision in Texas?
The rear driver is often presumed at fault because drivers must maintain a safe following distance. Liability can still shift if the front driver stopped abruptly without reason or had non-functioning brake lights.
What should I do after a rear-end collision in Houston?
Call 911 if anyone is injured and get checked medically even if symptoms are delayed. Then take photos, exchange information, and keep the crash report number for your claim.
How long do I have to file a rear-end collision claim in Texas?
Most Texas injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash date. Delays also make it harder to prove injury causation and preserve evidence.
What injuries are common in rear-end crashes?
Whiplash, neck and back injuries, and concussions are common in rear-end impacts. Soft-tissue injuries can be serious even when vehicle damage looks minor.
What if the insurance company says my whiplash is minor?
Whiplash can involve ongoing pain, limited mobility, and extended treatment even without visible injuries. Objective documentation from prompt evaluation and follow-up care is what insurers respond to.
