The Most Common Type of Collision in the Country

How do Palm Beach rear-end collisions happen?

Recent psychologist studies examining the way a trailing driver reacts to a car stopping directly in front found that drivers frequently do not perceive the urgency or speed of the braking of the lead car. This frequently leads to crashes that could have been avoided if drivers were paying close enough attention.

Due to the sudden, jerking impact which causes vehicle occupants to jolt forward and then back, rear-end accidents often cause injuries.
