California Rear End Car Accident Attorneys
Every year, hundreds of thousands of rear-end car accidents occur on California roads, leaving victims with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and overwhelming uncertainty. At Braff Law Firm, our California rear-end car accident lawyers help injured victims pursue the compensation they deserve, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Rear-end accidents are among the most common collisions in California, yet victims routinely receive lowball settlements, or nothing at all, without legal representation. One reason is that injuries from rear-impact collisions are often delayed, making it easy to underestimate the true extent of your damages. Settling quickly with an insurance company before the full picture emerges can permanently forfeit your right to seek fair compensation.
If you’ve been injured in a rear-end accident, speak with a California personal injury attorney before you talk to any insurance company. Braff Law Car Accident Personal Injury Lawyers handle cases just like yours and we work on a contingency fee, meaning you don’t pay until we win for you. With over 80 consultation office locations across California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, and San Jose, we’re always just a call away.

What to Do After a Rear-Impact Car Crash
- Call First Responders: Police and paramedics provide impartial third party documentation of your rear-end car accident, which is valuable evidence.
- Seek Medical Care: Your health is the biggest priority, and requesting detailed medical records will also demonstrate a continuous need for treatment plans.
- Document The Scene: Take pictures and videos of the damaged vehicles, road conditions, and note down contact information from witnesses, especially if they have dashcam footage.
- Avoid Discussing Unnecessarily: Anything you say may be used against you, especially from insurance adjusters. Refuse recorded statements or posting online, as well as apologizing or admitting fault.
- Consult Braff Law Firm: Our rear-end car accident attorneys can explore your legal options with a free initial consultation to help plan the next best step for an injury claim.
How Much Compensation Can Rear-End Car Accident Victims Get in California?
Economic damages
- Medical expenses, both current and future
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy costs
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury
Non-economic damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
In cases involving particularly reckless or egregious behavior, such as a drunk driver or someone engaged in aggressive road rage, California courts may also award punitive damages, which are intended to punish the at-fault party rather than simply compensate the victim.
Since rear-end collision injuries like whiplash, herniated discs, and traumatic brain injuries are frequently underestimated in the immediate aftermath of a crash, settling too quickly can leave significant compensation on the table. An experienced Braff Law Firm rear-end accident attorney will work to ensure every loss, including those that may not be fully apparent yet, is accounted for in your claim.

What Our Clients Say
How Insurance Adjusters Minimize Your Rear-End Car Accident Claim
Here are some of the most common tactics adjusters use to undercut your compensation:
- Claiming injuries are preexisting or age-related rather than caused by the accident
- Disputing liability or shifting partial blame onto the victim
- Deliberately delaying the claims process to pressure you into settling
- Downplaying the severity of your injuries, especially when symptoms appear days later
- Creating false urgency by presenting a lowball offer as their “best and final”
- Requesting a recorded statement and using your own words against you
