Rear-end Accidents

Car Accident Attorney Serving St. Louis

Rear end collisions occur frequently in St. Louis. Congested roads compounded with an inattentive or negligent driver will frequently result in a rear-end collision.  Rear-end accidents occur suddenly and without warning to innocent drivers every day in the St. Louis area.  When severe due to high speed or impact with a larger vehicle, they can result in serious neck, head, brain, leg and foot injuries.  Possible consequences of rear-end accidents include being pushed into an intersection with oncoming traffic or the velocity and force from behind causing you to collide with the vehicles in front of you, causing even more damage and injuries.  Such accident cases need to be reviewed by a competent and knowledgeable St. Louis rear-end accident lawyer so that maximum compensation for damages can be pursued on behalf of the injured.

Help for St. Louis Rear-End Collision Victims

A common result of rear-end collision is "whiplash" injuries. This refers to the action of the body in motion coming to a sudden stop often harming the back, neck and brain.  Traumatic brain injury is known to be caused by whiplash, although there may not be an outward sign of brain trauma, during the accident the brain can "knock" against the side of the cranium causing bleeding, swelling and other serious issues which need to be diagnosed by a competent doctor.  Brain injury is very serious in that it is often difficult for doctors to know the full negative consequence of the damage and how long it can take to recover.

Spinal injury due to rear-end collision can result in permanent disabilities such as paraplegia, quadriplegia, as well as numbness in the extremities below the area of impact due to nerve damage.  The first year medical care costs for paraplegia and quadriplegia can be as high as $500,000, not to mention the emotional and personal losses suffered by the victim.   If you have been injured in a rear-end accident speak with an attorney from Cagle Law Firm today.  An attorney from the firm will review your legal options and advise you how to move forward with your claim for compensation.  You can be assured that your best interests will be the top priority, and that you will be kept apprised of the case as it proceeds.   The firm is known for its determination, dedication and skillful handling of claims on behalf of clients injured in car accident cases.
