Common causes of Colorado rear-end accidents
- One driver following another too closely (tailgating)
- A driver distracted by their phone or another device
- A driver impaired by alcohol or drugs
- A failure to follow traffic laws
- Driving too fast for conditions
Aside from driver error, other common causes of rear-end crashes include poor weather conditions and vehicle defects.
For rear-end collisions involving two vehicles, the rear vehicle driver who failed to stop before striking the front vehicle will often be found to be at fault. However, rear-end collisions can lead to chain reaction events that involved multiple vehicles. This can lead to claims of disputed liability. Additionally, if a crash is caused by something other than driver error, determining liability will be more challenging.
Chernosky Law Offices will help uncover all evidence needed to determine fault. This can include gathering:
- Photographs were taken at the scene of the crash
- Video surveillance from nearby homes or businesses
- Police reports
- Statements from eyewitnesses
- Vehicle “black box” data
- Cell phone data records
