These rear-end accidents, although they may not seem severe or dramatic at the time, like say, a rollover or broadside crash may seem, they can still result in significant personal injury or even death. Neck and back injuries are the most common types of injuries that vehicle occupants sustain in rear-end car accidents. We recently represented and won a settlement for another Tacoma, Washington woman who was rear-ended by a vehicle, causing neck and back strain injuries, which required physical and massage therapy. Another Kent man was rear-ended on the 5 Freeway in Seattle, aggravating his preexisting osteoarthritis in his lower back, requiring chiropractic and physical therapy. Extended physical therapy is usually needed to recover from these injuries and of course, that costs a lot of money. For people who have been seriously injured in an auto accident and require major medical treatment and therapy, it would be very beneficial to talk to a Tacoma personal injury lawyer to see if they have the legal grounds to seek restitution.
