While driving on San Antonio roadways, motorists have a long list of accidents that can occur, from high-speed head-on collisions to simple fender benders. One of the most common types of collisions occurs when one car rear-ends another. It is often assumed that rear-end car accidents are always the fault of the motorist who rear-ended the car in front of them. The common theory is that if you are hit by another vehicle from behind, it is almost never going to be your fault, even in the event you were stopped. One rule of the road is that while driving you are supposed to leave one car length in front of you at least or enough room to be able to break when the car ahead of you stops abruptly. If the driver behind you couldn't stop in time to avoid an accident, it is assumed he or she probably was not driving safely. There are other factors to consider when determining who is at fault after an accident, however. Leave it to our team of well-trained San Antonio rear end accident lawyers, who are here to help you.

First and foremost, if you find yourself in an accident please follow these guidelines:  

• Remain calm and safely move out of the roadway so that you are not obstructing traffic.
• Keep the other driver at the scene of the accident.
• Call the San Antonio Police and wait for them to arrive.
• Collect the other driver's Information and take as many pictures as you can.
• When the police arrive, make sure they know your side of the story.
• If you have been injured, do not wait - seek medical attention promptly.
• If you have not been injured, call the other driver’s insurance company and start an insurance claim.
