Rear-end accidents are among the most common types of car wrecks that lead to personal injury claims, and in many cases they are preventable, either by improved driver behavior or by front-crash prevention safety systems.
In fact, there are an estimated 1.7 million rear-end crashes in the U.S. each year, with 1,700 fatalities and 500,000 injuries.
But the frequency of rear-ended crashes does bring up the question of why they are so common, and what drivers can learn from these causes to help modify their behavior on the road.
There are multiple causes of rear-end accidents, but the most common include:
Each of these common causes are correctable if drivers decide to modify their behavior to minimize the risk of a rear-end accident.
In addition, crash prevention systems now feature sensors that trigger automatic braking when your vehicle is about to hit the car directly in front of it.
