ST. PAUL REAR END ACCIDENT – MN INJURY ATTORNEYS
Our car accident lawyers handle many rear-end crash cases in St. Paul. Here is one example: In this injury case, the auto accident occurred on a Monday, at approximately 3:45 p.m. It was a clear day, and the roads were dry. Our client had been shopping at Lowes and was headed home.
Given the time of day, there was a fair amount of traffic on the highways in St. Paul. As traffic started to slow, our client also slowed down and then came to a stop. After she stopped, she looked in her rear-view mirror. Immediately, she saw a Silverado truck with an extra cab behind her. The truck was pulling a load of dirt coming up on her quickly. Within a moment, she realized that the other driver was not going to stop. Therefore, she braced for impact, clenching her hands on the steering wheel and straightening her arms.
The truck rammed the rear of her vehicle, pushing it into the vehicle in front of her.
Initially, our client was in shock and felt very confused. Then, her next reaction was anger. She had just purchased her vehicle a few months prior to the crash. Unfortunately, she soon began feeling stiffness in the left side of her neck and pain in her arms.
She got out of her vehicle and spoke briefly to the man who was driving the vehicle in front of her. At that point, the driver of the vehicle that hit her also came up to talk to her. He said, “I guess I was going a little too fast.” He also told her that it was his first day on the job. Apparently, he was allowed to drive the heavily loaded truck with no training.
