Why Rear-End Collisions Require Legal Representation
Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of car accidents in Florida, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to resolve. Insurance companies often attempt to:
- Minimize or deny claims involving “soft tissue” injuries
- Blame the victim for “sudden braking”
- Downplay the severity of neck or spinal injuries
- Offer lowball settlements that don’t cover long-term medical care
Despite the client requiring neck surgery and extensive rehabilitation, the insurance company offered nothing in this case. They disputed the severity of the injuries and attempted to avoid liability entirely.
