Rear-Ended Lawyer Helping Crash Victims Recover Full Compensation
Being rear-ended is one of the most common—and most underestimated—types of car accidents. Even low-speed rear-end crashes can cause serious injuries, missed work, and long-term pain. If you were rear-ended by a negligent driver, a skilled rear-ended lawyer at Bodewell can help you protect your claim and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Insurance companies often assume rear-end collisions are “minor” or try to rush victims into quick, low settlements. We push back with evidence, medical documentation, and a claim built to win.
Do I Need a Lawyer After Being Rear-Ended?
While fault in rear-end crashes often seems obvious, insurers still dispute injury severity, delay claims, or argue that your pain was pre-existing. A rear-ended lawyer helps by:
- Proving liability and countering blame-shifting tactics
- Connecting injuries to the crash through medical evidence
- Calculating the full value of your damages
- Negotiating aggressively—or taking the case to court if needed
Common Causes of Rear-End Accidents
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS, in-vehicle tech)
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Speeding or sudden stops
- Driver fatigue
- Impaired driving
Common Injuries From Rear-End Collisions
- Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries
- Neck, shoulder, and back injuries
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Chronic pain and limited mobility

Alabama & Georgia Rear-End Accident Laws
Alabama: Alabama follows contributory negligence. If the insurer claims you were even slightly at fault, they may try to deny your claim entirely. Strong evidence and fast legal action are critical.
Georgia: Georgia uses modified comparative fault. You may recover compensation if you are less than 50% at fault, though your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Many claims must be filed within two years; some notices are shorter—call to confirm your exact deadline.
