Rear-end collisions and traditional “fender benders” are common
examples of low-impact car accident scenarios.
Any type of car accident can be traumatic. Whether you’re involved in a rollover, hit-and-run, T-bone, or rear-end collision, the ensuing effects can often include physical injuries as well as psychological or emotional distress. One type of car accident that is commonly overlooked and misunderstood – low-impact collisions – may sound benign on the surface. However, low-impact motor vehicle collisions can in fact lead to serious injuries (many of which develop slowly over time).
Below we will take a look at low-impact car accidents, including the most common types of injuries sustained as a result. We’ll also discuss how to file a personal injury claim to ensure you recover financial compensation for various losses suffered due to a low-impact collision, such as hospital or medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
A low-impact car accident is defined as any collision where the motor vehicle was traveling less than 10 miles per hour. Rear-end collisions and traditional “fender benders” are common examples of low-impact car accident scenarios.
Although low-impact collisions occur at speeds below 10 miles per hour, that does not mean that serious injuries do not occur. Moreover, unlike traditional car accidents, low-impact collisions can actually include some significant pitfalls when attempting to secure financial compensation for an injury.
Auto insurance companies will often assume that because the accident was low-impact, the injuries cannot be serious (if at all). Accordingly, they may be more inclined to disregard legitimate claims, or even deny them outright.

Furthermore, studies indicate that injured car accident victims (including those involved in low-impact collisions) are statistically more likely to recover maximum financial compensation.
A report by the Insurance Research Council (IRC) found that settlements were 40% higher when injured victims obtained private legal representation. IRC research also indicates that the average insurance payout is 3.5 times higher for clients who have hired a private attorney than for those representing themselves. Finally, the IRC report found that 85% of all money paid by insurance companies for bodily injuries is received by clients who have secured representation from a private personal injury attorney.
Ready to secure the maximum financial compensation you deserve for your low-impact car accident injury? Contact DLG today. The statute of limitations in California for personal injury claims is typically two years from the date of the incident. However, that deadline cane be shortened (sometimes significantly) depending on whether the at-fault party is a government or public entity.
