Florida Rear-End Car Accident Lawyer
If you are injured in a rear-end accident, fault will usually not be an issue in your case. Unless your brake lights didn't work or you stopped for no reason, the driver who ran into you is presumed to be at fault. However, proving your injuries to the insurance company may be an issue because insurance companies are after their bottom line: to save money!
At The Umansky Law Firm, our central Florida lawyers represent people who are injured in rear end collisions and other types of accidents in Orlando, Winter Park and other communities in central Florida. If you or a loved one has been injured in a rear-end collision, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and answer your questions about insurance.
How Insurance Companies Evaluate Rear-End Collision Cases
When a car is struck from behind, it may not show as much as damage as a vehicle that is involved in another type of accident. Car bumpers are designed to withstand impacts of slow to moderate speeds. Unfortunately, your body is not.
The sudden impact of a rear-end collision can cause traumatic brain injury, spinal injuries and other trauma to the body. However, if your vehicle was not seriously damaged, the insurance company may use that lack of damage to argue that you could not have been seriously injured.
You should never settle your case for what an insurance company offers without talking to an experienced Orlando lawyer. Injuries suffered in a rear-end collision could affect you for the rest of your life. However, once you accept an offer from an insurance company, you will give up all rights to future compensation for that accident.
If you are contacted by the insurance company of the person who injured you, don't say anything and don't sign anything until you talk to our car accident lawyers.
