Rear-Ended in a Company Vehicle?

Rear-End Collisions: Clear Fault, Strong Claims

Rear-end accidents are among the strongest cases because fault is usually clear - the driver who hit you from behind is almost always at fault. When this happens while you are driving a company vehicle for work, you have powerful legal options.

Common Injuries from Rear-End Collisions

• Whiplash: The most common rear-end injury, caused by sudden head movement
• Herniated discs: Spinal disc damage from impact force
• Back injuries: Muscle strains, sprains, and vertebral damage
• Concussions: Head striking steering wheel, headrest, or window
• Shoulder injuries: From bracing against impact or seatbelt force

Why Rear-End Cases Are Strong

Pennsylvania follows the rule that the following driver must maintain a safe distance. If they rear-end you, they almost certainly violated this duty. This makes proving fault straightforward - a significant advantage in your personal injury claim.

What to Do After Being Rear-Ended at Work

1. Call 911 and get a police report
2. Get the other driver's insurance information
3. Take photos of vehicle damage and the scene
4. Report the accident to your employer immediately
5. Seek medical attention - even if you feel okay initially
6. Contact a lawyer who handles BOTH workers' comp and personal injury

Do Not Give Recorded Statements

Insurance adjusters may contact you quickly after the accident. Do not give recorded statements to the other driver's insurance company before talking to a lawyer. What you say can be used to minimize your claim.
