Rear-end crashes are common
They often happen in freeway traffic, at stoplights, or during sudden braking. The rear driver is often responsible, but fault still depends on the facts of the crash.
Do not judge the injury by the car damage
Even when the bumper looks okay, the force can cause whiplash, neck strain, back pain, headaches, or other symptoms. Minsan days later pa mararamdaman.

- Get contact information from witnesses and save any dashcam footage.
After the accident
Monitor your symptoms and seek medical care when needed. Report the claim, keep every document, and avoid guessing about fault or saying you are uninjured before you know how you feel.
