Rear-End Car Accident Lawyer

Get help from a car accident trial lawyer with over 38 years of experience.

In Broward County and throughout Florida, rear-end accidents are the type of car accident cases that most often go to trial. The reason for this fact does not relate to the liability of the driver who hit the injured party, but it relates to the insurance companies making no offer, or a small offer, to the victims of these car accidents.  The insurance companies do this because they do not believe the victim is hurt or that the victim’s injuries aren’t as severe as they claim. The fact that insurance companies do not offer much money on most of these cases is why a victim should be represented by an experienced rear-end car accident lawyer.  An experienced car accident trial lawyer will take the case to the jury when the insurance company makes a low ball offer or an unreasonable settlement offer simply because they don’t agree with the extent of the victim’s injuries.

Types Of Injuries From Read-End Collisions

Victims of rear-end collisions can suffer from any of the following injuries:

  • Neck injury
  • Back injury
  • Head injury
  • Facial bruising
  • Headaches or a concussion
  • Joint pain

Many back and neck injuries related to a car accident can result in nerve damage and severe muscle pain. Chiropractor visits and orthopedic doctor visits are usually necessary and these expenses can add up quickly.

Causes Of Rear-End Accidents

There are several reasons why rear-end accidents occur, including:

  • sudden stops
  • the driver causing the accident is following too closely
  • distracted driving
  • environmental factors
  • failed brakes
  • auto defects

Most often, the driver who hits the car from behind is issued a traffic citation, but every case is different.  Interestingly, a study by the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined, based on a driver’s age and sex, that drivers under 18 have the highest rate of rear-end crashes and the likelihood of involvement in rear-end collisions, decreases with age. The study also found that young male drivers are more prone to rear-end crashes than are females. To learn more car crashes facts, see the Department’s website about car safety.
