Rear-end accidents have a wide variety of causes, most common of which include:

• Distracted driving
• A quick change in speed
• Mechanical problems

There are certainly times when the actions of the driver who was struck from behind caused the crash. That is why, regardless of which vehicle you were driving during the collision, you need to work with a skilled vehicle accident attorney in Los Angeles who can help determine liability and recover any compensation you may be entitled to.
