Distracted or inattentive motorists will often rear-end another vehicle for many reasons. The most common reason is that they just didn’t notice the car ahead of them came to a stop. This simple reason is why rear-end crashes are the most commonly reported type of car accident each year.

Annually, rear-end crashes account for 28 percent of all reported crashes. These accidents often happen at intersections when vehicles are making turns. In some cases, injured parties may be eligible to recover lost compensation with the help of an Illinois car crash attorney.
