Rear-end car accidents are the most common type of auto accidents. A rear-end automobile accident happens when a car hits another automobile in front of it, and the most common way a rear-end car accident occurs is when the automobile in front makes a sudden stop – perhaps due to traffic – and the car behind is unable to stop in time.
Sometimes rear-enders occur when a driver is distracted.
That was the case when celebrity daughter of musician Lionel Richie Nicole Richie was involved in a rear-end accident in Beverly Hills.
Nicole Richie was injured in a rear-end auto accident in Los Angeles.
Our car accident lawyers know that rear-end car accidents can cause many injuries (such as whiplash, spinal cord injuries and even traumatic brain injuries). Richie was not seriously injured, but she will still seek medical treatment from her private doctor’s as many car accident injuries such as whiplash do not show up for a few days.
Fortunately, Richie’s children were not in the car at the time of the rear-end car crash. She did have a passenger in her car but his name and condition has yet to be released.
The driver of the car that hit Richie was a member of the paparazzi and rear-ended her as he was trying to take a picture. The driver was arrested after the car accident for driving without a license, and his automobile was later impounded by authorities.
This is not Richie’s first run in with traffic enforcement as she was previously involved in an auto accident when she was driving under the influence (DUI) of prescription pills and alcohol. This time, alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the accident.
Because you can’t control the other drivers on the road, you can’t prevent every car accident. You can, however, make sure that you are prepared for one by making sure that you have the right auto insurance policy for your car. If you have been involved in a car accident, hiring an experienced auto accident lawyer can help ease any pain and suffering you may be going through.
