Common Injuries from Low-Speed Rear-End Collisions

Many people mistakenly believe that low-speed rear-end collisions are less dangerous because they frequently result in minor vehicle damage or injuries to drivers or passengers that are not entirely obvious.

In fact, according to research findings presented by the Spine Research Institute of San Diego 60 percent of car accident injuries happen at speeds ranging from 6 to 12 miles per hour; and a study conducted by Peugeot S.A./Renault Laboratory of Accidentology and Biomechanics, the risk of whiplash injury is actually greater at speeds slower than 9.3 MPH.
