Rear-end collisions are one of the most common causes of injury in Texas. At TexasPersonalInjury.net, powered by the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we help victims understand their rights and pursue fair compensation for their injuries and losses.
What Is a Rear-End Collision?
A rear-end collision occurs when a vehicle crashes into the back of another vehicle. These accidents can range from minor fender benders to high-speed impacts causing serious injury. In Texas, where major urban centers and congested highways increase the risk of such accidents, rear-end collisions are particularly frequent.
Common injuries include:
- Whiplash
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord trauma
- Concussions
- Soft tissue damage
Even in seemingly minor crashes, injuries like whiplash may take days to appear. Immediate medical care and legal counsel are crucial.
Causes of Rear-End Collisions in Texas
At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we see a variety of causes behind rear-end crashes. Some of the most common in Texas include:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, adjusting the GPS—any moment of distraction can lead to an accident.
- Speeding: High speeds reduce reaction time, increasing the likelihood of rear-end collisions.
- Tailgating: Following too closely makes it nearly impossible to stop in time.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment and reflexes.
- Sudden Lane Changes: Drivers who cut in without signaling put others at serious risk.
- Poor Road or Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and poorly maintained roads are major contributors across Texas highways.

Our firm will investigate the cause of your accident to determine liability and build a strong case on your behalf.
Common Injuries and Medical Costs
Even low-speed rear-end crashes can result in serious physical trauma. Some injuries may not be visible right away but can result in long-term medical care, including:
- Emergency room visits
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic treatment
- Chiropractic treatment
- Prescription medications
- Diagnostic imaging (MRI, X-rays)
Your health should always come first—but the financial burden shouldn’t fall on your shoulders. We’ll fight to hold the at-fault driver accountable and recover your medical expenses.
