Rear-end collisions are contentious because, for the most part, the injured individual usually doesn’t have a clear idea of what exactly happened in the minutes leading up to the accident. The aftermath of these collisions also results in the need for medical attention, dealing with bad faith insurance companies, and general uncertainty when it comes to one’s future.

These cases tend to be sensitive and victims often worry if they will get the justice and compensation they deserve to move on with their lives, but the fact of the matter is that strong evidence and expert witness testimonies are what can potentially turn the tide when it comes to your rear-end collision accident lawsuit for reasons we’ll take a look at shortly.

That said, every road user owes you a duty of care when it comes to keeping you and others safe by following traffic rules, ensuring they are capable of operating a vehicle, not engaging in distracted and other forms of risky driving, giving way to large trucks and similar vehicles, indicate before trying to overtake, and only merge when it is safe to do so. Should they breach this duty of care by performing a negligent act leading to you suffering injuries, you may be able to recover compensation by way of an auto accident lawsuit, something our experienced attorneys can help with.

Crucial Expert Witnesses in Rear-End Collision Cases 

The importance of expert witnesses when it comes to rear-end collisions cannot be overstated. This is because these highly regarded and educated individuals can provide novel insights that are objective thanks to their experience dealing with these types of accidents to bolster your legal argument.

Expert witnesses run the gamut, from accident reconstruction specialists to medical doctors and engineers. These experts are sought by your chosen law firm, and the selection must be intentional and done with great care so they can create a clear picture of apportioning fault to the other party. 

Let’s take a look at some of the expert witnesses in a typical rear-end accident claim;

Accident Reconstruction Specialists

These experts are familiar with the physics of accidents as well as how elements of mechanical engineering come into play when it comes to accident occurrence. Accident dynamics often follow a predictable pattern, and accident reconstruction specialists can create computer models of the same after taking into account road conditions, vehicle speed, point of impact, debris patterns, and so on to recreate the sequence of events leading up to the accident. 

The computer models they create can rebut claims by the defendant such as not being able to come to a stop due to a brake malfunction, helping tip the scales of justice in your favor. In addition, the testimony they provide is objective and scientific and can stand up to scrutiny which can then help your case along. 

Medical Professionals

Doctors, physical therapists, and surgeons can play an important role in the determination of fault when it comes to rear-end collisions. Their expertise touches on how the accident impacted you on a physical level, which can point to the fact that only certain G-Forces and types of crashes can lead to injuries that are typically seen in rear-end collisions and not others.

In addition, medical professionals can demonstrate the impact and extent of your injuries, project long-term outcomes as well as quantify the treatment plans you will have to undergo to be made whole again, and all these factors can go a long way in ensuring that you are appropriately compensation about your injuries and that your damages sustained are commensurate with the amount you’re seeking.
