Injured In A Rear-End Car Accident in NYC? We Can Help.

Drivers have a duty to other drivers to keep a watch out for other vehicles and to keep a safe following distance. When a driver drops something on the floor of the car or turns to speak to a passenger, and in the process takes eyes off the road in front while driving, conditions are ripe for a rear-end car accident if a car in front stops to turn or is slowed down by traffic.

When a rear-end collision occurs, there is normally a presumption that the driver of the vehicle behind the other was at fault. This presumption can sometimes be overcome through careful investigation and documentation of extenuating circumstances. Perhaps the at-fault driver was blinded by sunlight, suffered a medical emergency behind the wheel, or was caught in the middle in a multiple-car crash. In most cases, however, the presumption of the fault of the driver behind holds true. A distracted driver or a careless driver is convincingly liable for damages after this type of crash. Tailgating is another risk factor that points to the driver behind as clearly at fault.

Full, Fair Compensation For Your Injuries And Losses Is Our Goal

In rear-end accident cases, we most often represent those who were injured while driving or riding in cars in front. If The Law Office of Richard M. Kenny represents you after you were injured when another car struck yours from behind, our NYC rear-end car accident lawyers will work hard to recover compensation for you. Did you suffer a neck injury or back injury? Were your injuries serious or catastrophic after you were trapped between the seat and the steering wheel? Were your injuries made worse because an airbag did not deploy? Conversely, were you injured when your airbag did deploy in what would have otherwise been a minor fender-bender accident?

Whatever the details of your New York City rear-end collision, our attorneys are ready to work hard on your behalf. We aim to hold responsible for any driver whose negligence results in injury or loss of a family member of one of our clients. We pledge to keep you informed of all developments in your car accident case. We will educate you along the way so that when the time comes to accept a settlement offer or take a case to trial, you will be able to make the right decision with confidence.
