What We Do
Rear-end Accidents
Justice may be blind, but our job is to ensure negligent drivers are held accountable and your family receives the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions are among the most common car accidents in California. They frequently occur at intersections, in stop-and-go traffic, or when a distracted driver fails to react in time. Despite being labeled “fender benders,” these crashes can cause serious, long-lasting injuries and significant financial hardship.
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, adjusting navigation)
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Driver fatigue or drowsiness
- Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
- Hazardous road or weather conditions
Injuries Caused by Rear-End Accidents
Even low-speed impacts can lead to significant harm. Common injuries include:
- Whiplash and neck injuries that may cause chronic pain and reduced mobility
- Back and spinal injuries such as herniated discs or, in severe cases, paralysis
- Head and brain injuries including concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Fractures and broken bones from seat belt or airbag impact
- Soft tissue damage affecting ligaments, muscles, and tendons
These injuries often require hospitalization, ongoing treatment, physical therapy, and time away from work—costs that should not fall on the victim.
Liability in Rear-End Accidents
In most cases, the trailing driver is presumed at fault. However, liability can be contested—insurers may argue the leading driver stopped abruptly or shared responsibility. As an experienced California trial lawyer, Art Majlessi conducts detailed investigations to establish fault and prove damages.
- Police reports and accident reconstruction
- Witness statements
- Traffic and surveillance camera footage
- Vehicle damage analysis and EDR (“black box”) data
- Medical records linking injuries to the crash

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions About Rear-End Accidents
What should I do immediately after a rear-end collision?
Ensure safety, call 911, and request a police report. Exchange information, photograph the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries, and seek medical evaluation—even if symptoms are delayed. Speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to insurance.
Is the rear driver always at fault?
Often, yes—but not always. Fault may be shared if the front driver braked suddenly without reason, had non-functioning brake lights, or created an unsafe condition. A thorough investigation is essential.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Generally, two years from the date of injury for personal injury claims and three years for property damage. Shorter deadlines may apply for government entities. Consult an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
What if I didn’t feel pain right away?
Delayed symptoms are common—especially with whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue injuries. Prompt medical care protects your health and documents the causal link between the crash and your injuries.
How much is my rear-end accident case worth in California?
Case value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, long-term effects, and liability. Every case is unique. Art Majlessi evaluates all factors to pursue the maximum compensation available.
