Phoenix-Area Rear-End Accidents Can Result in a Broken Neck, a Spinal Cord Injury, or Even Fatalities
If you were hit from behind, you may have far more than simple rear-ender whiplash injuries. Because rear-enders cause neck hyperextension, with the head jerking back then forward then back again, the result can be both a soft-tissue injury, or a torn rotator cuff or torn bicep tendon, as well as back and neck injuries or a broken collar bone. A rear-end collision can also result in a severe head injury if your head hits the windshield, dashboard, door jamb or steering wheel.
Rather than just a neck brace, you may need surgery and months of physical therapy to recover completely. As a reliable rear-end car accident lawyer, Jeffery J. Hernandez will take on intimidating insurance adjusters and fight for justice. He is a former adjuster and has years of experience negotiating fair settlements that can help recover your medical costs and pain and suffering damages. And if the insurance company doesn’t believe you’re entitled to compensation, we are ready to file a rear-end injury lawsuit on your behalf.
Many clients call us once they develop severe neck pain days after a rear-end collision that they didn’t think was a severe accident. If you were rear-ended in Arizona, call the Arizona Law Office of Jeffery J. Hernandez at (480) 624-2765 or contact us online for a free consultation. There is no obligation, and you have nothing to lose except peace of mind.

These days, in-dash tablets built have become a far more common hazard, causing passenger injuries, distracted drivers running over pedestrians and bicycle accidents, as well. For a child passenger, who may have witnessed a serious injury or the death of a loved one, the emotional injury of the experience can be horrendous, even if the child was not physically hurt.
