Car Accident Attorneys Tirelessly Advocate for Clients Injured in Rear-End Accidents in Camden County, Burlington County, and Throughout New Jersey

Rear-end accidents are some of the most common kinds of car accidents. However, such a seemingly minor accident can be very complicated to sort out. One of the biggest issues in rear-end accident claims is determining who is at fault for the accident. New Jersey law requires that all drivers leave enough space between them and the car ahead of them to be able to safely stop. This means that, in many cases, the driver in the rear is at fault for the accident because they followed too closely and/or took their eyes off the road and failed to stop in time. However, it is possible to rebut this notion by proving that the driver in front was responsible, entirely or in part, for the accident, especially if they made some unexpected or unsafe maneuver.

Rear-end collisions often result in serious permanent injuries even if the actual damage to your automobile is negligible. You may have spinal, knee or shoulder injuries and/or traumatic brain injuries that can be debilitating, requiring ongoing medical treatment and will get worse as you age. The rear-end attorneys of Andres, Berger & Tran will have you consult medical experts who can testify as to your condition.

Comparative Negligence Is Relevant for Rear-End Accidents in Cherry Hill, NJ

Even though New Jersey law requires drivers to leave a safe amount of space between themselves and the car in front of them, thereby creating a presumption that the car in rear is responsible for a rear-end accident, an experienced rear-end accident attorney can show that the car in front is responsible, at least in part, for a rear-end accident, especially if:

• The front vehicle stopped suddenly, in an area where a vehicle would not be expected to stop or was not stopping for an emergency in front of them
• The front vehicle cut off the rear vehicle, leaving the rear vehicle without sufficient time to stop or avoid the accident
• The front vehicle suffered a mechanical failure that is due to the owner’s failure to maintain the vehicle or was caused by a manufacturing defect or negligent repair by a mechanic
• The front vehicle was illegally stopped in the roadway

New Jersey uses a comparative fault paradigm, which allows a plaintiff to recover even if he or she is partially responsible for the accident, so long as the plaintiff was not majority at-fault. Comparative fault assigns a percentage of fault to each party in an accident — a plaintiff’s recovery is reduced by his or her percentage of fault.
