Rear-end collisions are some of the most common types of car accidents reported in the United States. Statistics show that more than 1.7 million rear-end crashes take place each year nationwide. It may come as no surprise that almost 87 percent of rear-end collisions involve some degree of driver distraction, and this means that a driver is less likely to pay attention to the road and potentially hit another vehicle. An estimated 1,700 people are killed in rear-end crashes each year, and these accidents involve an estimated 7.1 percent of traffic fatalities on average. It can be difficult to achieve a full recovery on your own after a deadly crash.
