Did you get rear-ended recently? Know someone who was?

Various types of car accidents are more likely to cause certain injuries.

What could happen if you get rear-ended?

Any of these injuries may result: 
1. Whiplash
“Whiplash” happens when your neck moves back-and-forth rapidly due to a forceful impact.

Its name comes from the fact that your neck moves quickly like the cracking of a whip.

Symptoms of whiplash don’t necessarily show themselves immediately after your auto accident.

They may take a few days to show.

Whiplash can result in pain and stiffness in your neck, loss of motion in your neck, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and pain or numbness in your upper back or arms.

Some people may also experience blurry vision, poor sleep, irritability, difficulty concentrating and remembering, or depression. 
2. Traumatic Brain Injuries

If you get in a car accident, should you settle it quickly so you don’t have to deal with all sorts of stress and hassle for months on end?
You know how obnoxious and frustrating it is to deal with the aftermath of an auto accident.

You have to go to doctors, recover from your injuries, see how your insurance company values your car, and so on.

And this could drag on a long time. To get your full settlement, you know it may take months of negotiating or even years, if you have to go to court.

Then, you can just get past all the stresses and hassles and get on with your life.

Well, it’s your choice. So you can do whatever you want. But, understand that you’re likely leaving a lot […]

Car manufacturers make amazingly safe vehicles an overwhelming majority of the time.

But, they’re prone to doing things wrong from time-to-time.

For example, Takata had a huge airbag recall because their airbags would explode and shoot metal shards all over the interior of cars. 15 people died in the US, while 250 were injured.

And Takata? It eventually went bankrupt.

This was not only the largest defective product liability issue in automotive history… it was the largest product liability issue for any product. Ever.

It ended up affecting around 37 million cars and 50 million airbags.

They had to take responsibility for their faulty manufacturing. But when does an auto manufacturer have legal liability for their actions… and when don’t they?

Let’s clear up the issue:
Negligence Isn’t Necessary…
As long as a car manufacturer’s actions led to […]
