Injuries Caused by Rear-End Accidents
Auto insurance companies often try to dismiss rear-end accident injury claims if there is no serious damage to the vehicles involved. The adjuster argues that there cannot be any serious injuries if the cars are mostly intact. This tactic works on many would-be claimants, but do not let it work on you!
If you have been seriously injured in a rear-end accident, then you need to see a medical professional as soon as possible. Once you have been treated, you should then come to The Roth Firm, LLC. We are ready to stand up for you, starting by proving to the insurance company that your injuries are as serious as you claimed.
Injuries suffered by rear-end accident victims often include:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Back injuries
- Whiplash
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck and upper back injury that involves soft tissue damage to tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves in those areas of the body. Oftentimes, there are no outer symptoms of whiplash, other than some mild swelling, so it is easy to mistake the injury as mild. A medical provider’s diagnosis might prove otherwise, though. Many people who suffer from whiplash become debilitated by the pain of the injury, which can last for months or longer.
A rear-end collision is highly likely to cause whiplash to the people in the front vehicle. The sudden impact causes those people to be rocked back and forth violently and abruptly. The whipping of the neck in such a crash is exactly what can and does cause whiplash.
Is Hiring a Lawyer Helpful?
As mentioned, insurance companies like to dismiss a rear-end accident claim almost immediately. The goal is to get you to give up on securing any compensation because you would rather not deal with their tactics and stubbornness. Hiring one of our Atlanta rear-end collision attorneys is probably the right choice for you because we can handle all interactions with the other driver’s insurance provider. From initial accident reports to negotiating for a fair settlement, we can do it all.
Another good reason to hire an attorney is if your damages are steep. When you are out thousands of dollars in lost wages, medical bills, and vehicle repair costs, you should not gamble on securing each penny on your own, especially if you do not have a legal background. Leave such an important case up to us, just as so many others in Atlanta have before.
We welcome you to call (404) 999-4705 and request an initial case consultation.
