 Rear-end collision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Rear-end collision (often called simply rear-end) is a traffic accident where a vehicle (usually an automobile or a truck) impacts the vehicle in front of it, so called because it thus hits its rear.
A typical medical consequence of rear-ends, even in case of collisions at moderate speed, is whiplash.

 Patent 6119068
In particular, the invention relates to rear-end collision alarming device and method, in which a distance from a subject vehicle to a preceding vehicle is measured, and the measured distance is utilized for preventing a rear-end collision of the subject vehicle against the preceding vehicle.
An rear-end collision alarming device issuing an alarm for preventing a rear-end collision against a vehicle running ahead determines whether a gas pedal is operated when it is determined that a subject vehicle approaches the vehicle running ahead.
In this structure, the rear-end collision alarming device may malfunction to issue the alarm in response to, e.g., detection of a distance to an oncoming vehicle, even when both the subject vehicle and the oncoming vehicle are running normally and there is no risk of collision.

 Sybil Eppler v. Tarmac America, Inc.
Today, when a rear driver sues a lead driver for damages from a rear-end collision, and the lead driver answers with an affirmative defense of comparative negligence, the rule will, at most, establish as a matter of law that the driver of the rear car is liable for some portion of the overall damages.
Indeed, after this Court first adopted the presumption of negligence in rear-end collisions, the principle of comparative negligence replaced the all-or-nothing contributory negligence doctrine.
The defendant's version of the collision is not sufficient to rebut or dissipate the presumption that his negligence was the sole proximate cause of the accident.).

The rear-end collision occurred when the crew of train 447, which was being operated under the assumption that train 771 was at least 1.5 miles further ahead, did not maintain adequate vigilance, resulting in the rear of train 771 not being noticed in sufficient time to bring the train to a stop.
TC also advised that rear markers are intended to define the tail end of a train for the purposes of a number of CROR applications, and not to prevent rear-end collisions.
A train may be operated without a caboose and with the rear crew located in the cabs of the lead locomotive consist provided the train is equipped with an end-of-train-information system with a rear train emergency braking feature and a red flashing marker light operated by an automatic light sensitive cell.

While a quality rear bumper is capable of compressing upon impact and absorbing the force of a low speed collision, lower quality bumpers tend to be less absorbent, sending the brunt of the impact to the occupants.
The rear impact collision is the least fatal type of auto accident, accounting for six deaths per one million registered cars.
Furthermore, rear bumpers are designed to handle only a five-mile per hour rear collision when many rear impact collisions occur at much greater speeds.

 Allianz - Careful with Seeking Compensation for Whiplash Injuries
Following a rear-end collision, it is not always advisable to make a claim for cervical spine distortion or "whiplash injury" from the other car's insurance company, with a view to obtaining damages for pain and suffering.
This is why a verdict in favor of the person suing the insurer for compensation is only achieved in 15% of these cases.
People have been advised time and again to file a claim for pain and suffering incurred as a result of cervical spine distortion after such an accident.

 kingcountyjournal.com - Rear-end collision kills man sleeping inside disabled van on side of freeway - Trooper didn't notice body inside sleeping bag; van towed away
BOTHELL -- A man whose body was left in the back of a van because an investigating State Patrol trooper failed to notice it after the van was rear-ended on the side of Interstate 405 died as a result of the accident.
A tow-truck driver found King's body inside a sleeping bag in his vehicle about 15 hours after the trooper investigated a collision early Sunday involving King's van.
But the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's ruling Wednesday did not say when the man died, leaving unanswered the question of whether the trooper's oversight may have contributed to David King's death.

Compared to no warning, an early collision system warning reduces the number of collisions by 80.7%.
