A rear-end collision might seem like a “minor” crash—until it happens to you. These accidents can leave victims with serious, lasting injuries, unexpected medical bills, and disruptions to every part of life. At Malloy Law Offices, our Baltimore rear-end accident attorney represents individuals who were struck from behind and are now facing pain, financial strain, and a long recovery process. If you’ve been injured because another driver wasn’t paying attention, we’re here to help you demand full accountability.
Most rear-end crashes are caused by simple, avoidable negligence. Drivers who fail to leave adequate space, who speed through stop-and-go traffic, or who look at their phones instead of the road put everyone behind them in danger.
Common causes we see in Baltimore include:
Distracted driving (texting, GPS, phone use)
Tailgating or following too closely
Speeding in urban or highway traffic
Sudden stops without signaling
Weather-related conditions and lack of vehicle control
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Even at lower speeds, a rear-end crash can cause significant injuries—especially if the impact throws the driver or passengers forward unexpectedly.
Rear-end accidents often produce “invisible” injuries that worsen over time if not properly diagnosed and treated. We’ve helped clients recover after suffering:
Whiplash and soft tissue damage
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Neck, shoulder, and spinal injuries
Herniated discs or nerve impingement
Broken bones or facial trauma from airbag deployment
Chronic headaches and reduced range of motion
Psychological distress, including anxiety or PTSD
Some symptoms take days or weeks to appear. Others may never fully go away. We work with medical experts to ensure every injury is documented and tied directly to the crash.
Rear-end collisions may seem straightforward, but insurance companies often push back hard. They may downplay your injuries, claim your pain is pre-existing, or offer a lowball settlement based on the property damage alone. That’s where we come in.
Our attorneys will:
Review crash reports and witness statements
Analyze vehicle damage and black box data
Consult with medical providers and accident reconstructionists
Negotiate aggressively with insurance carriers
Build a compelling case for full financial recovery
In some cases, we also identify additional liable parties, such as rideshare companies, commercial vehicle operators, or employers.
Rear-end crash victims are often entitled to more than just emergency room bills. Depending on your circumstances, compensation may include:
Medical costs (including physical therapy and future care)
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering—both physical and emotional
Vehicle repair or replacement
Long-term disability or diminished quality of life
Wrongful death benefits for families who’ve lost a loved one
Every case is different, and we don’t rely on one-size-fits-all settlements. We take the time to understand your losses—and fight to make sure they’re valued properly.
