Obtaining a Legal Advantage
As Florida is a no-fault insurance state, the inconvenience of a collision goes far beyond the initial crash for many car accident victims. Per Florida law, drivers are required to maintain a minimum personal injury protection (PIP) insurance policy of $10,000; however, as some accidents may result in severe, life-threatening injuries, these coverage plans can become quickly exhausted. Victims must then pursue financial recovery for economic and non-economic losses through the at-fault party’s insurance company.
Insurance companies are uniquely motivated to satisfy the terms of an accident with minimal financial liability, so tactics to reduce, stall, or deny payouts are employed at the expense of the victim. By hiring an experienced car accident attorney, you can obtain the legal advantage–and peace of mind–to pursue a fair and just settlement for your injuries.
Additionally, in the event your respective insurance company fails to honor the terms of your policy, your attorney can also bring legal action against your provider for a breach of contract.
Common Physical Injuries Necessitating Medical Examination
Rear-ended collisions do not require significant property damage to be considered severe, as even the most minor accidents can lead to extensive medical treatment. If you or your loved one has been involved in a car accident, it is vital to seek an immediate medical evaluation to protect your health and ability to pursue legal action. Not all injuries manifest in the immediate aftermath of a collision, and forgoing medical examinations provides insurance companies with ammunition to undermine your legal efforts.
The Shiner Law Group identifies several examples of personal injury commonly associated with rear-ended collisions:
- Whiplash;
- Back injuries;
- Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs);
- Bodily injury;
- Emotional trauma.
Rear-ended accidents can occur anywhere and often result from a following driver’s negligence; however, leading drivers can also be held at fault for making an unsafe lane change or drastically reducing their speed.
