Fort Lauderdale Injury Lawyers for Rear-Impact Crashes

When you have been involved in a rear-impact collision, the results can be devastating. The medical treatment and physical therapy required to recover from such an accident may take months or longer, leaving you with mounting bills that are difficult to pay. We understand this all too well at The Law Offices of John D. Ameen, P.A., and our experienced attorneys work to ensure that victims of these types of car accidents receive rightful compensation for their losses.

Common Causes of Rear End Collisions in South Florida

Financial responsibility for a car accident will rest with the individual or individuals who are at fault due to their careless actions or lack of action. In most rear-end crashes, the driver who strikes another vehicle from behind is liable for a victim's injuries and damages. According to reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is a common cause of rear-end accidents, but there are a variety of other issues that may be involved in these cases, including:

• Speeding
• Drunk or intoxicated driving
• Tailgating
• Drowsy driving that may lead a driver to fall asleep while behind the wheel
• A driver's failure to take the proper measures to drive safely during inclement weather

In certain cases, a person driving a car that was struck from behind could be found to be partially or even fully accountable for the crash. When a vehicle does not have operating brake lights, or when a person drives recklessly and erratically through traffic, they might share responsibility for an accident. Collisions involving more than two cars can be particularly complex, and determining who is at fault is not always easy. The attorneys of The Law Offices of John D. Ameen, P.A. can help you identify the liable parties in a rear end accident and determine an effective course of action to ensure that a victim can recover the compensation they deserve.

Helping Victims Address the Effects of Rear End Collisions

Although rear-end collisions may not appear to be especially damaging, they can have a long-lasting impact on the health and well-being of those who were in a vehicle that was struck from behind. Common injuries in these types of car accidents include whiplash, soft-tissue damage, and even traumatic brain injuries. It is not uncommon for insurance companies that provide coverage for liable drivers to propose quick settlements before a person has been able to properly assess their injuries and understand the long-term repercussions. Agreeing to such an offer could end up being extremely costly. Victims should not sign any documents or accept payment from any insurer without first consulting with one of our knowledgeable attorneys.
