What You Can Expect From A Tampa Rear-End Collision Lawyer
You can expect many big-picture benefits when you hire a lawyer after a rear-end collision. Accident victims who hire an attorney:
- Do not have to split their time between recovery and their case,’’’ which should benefit their health
- Have protection from insurance companies’ bad-faith strategies
- Receive legal support on a contingency fee basis
- May be better able to care for their mental health by avoiding the unavoidable stress that comes with insurance claims and lawsuits
A lawyer is helpful because they handle their clients’ entire cases. Some of the responsibilities attorneys handle after rear-end collisions include:
Insurance Companies And Their Tactics
Insurance providers are nearly always involved in the post-accident process in some capacity. Your rear-end collision lawyer will be responsible for:
- Ensuring the prompt and accurate filing of your insurance claim
- Providing relevant information to insurers, such as medical bills for your post-accident treatment
- Applying pressure for the insurance carrier to resolve your claim
- Protecting you from any bad-faith strategies, such as claim delays and lowball settlement offers
Car accident lawyers and insurance companies are familiar with one another. This familiarity is one of several reasons to let an attorney represent you.
Establishing Fault In A Rear-End Collision
Your rear-end accident attorney will secure all relevant evidence from your accident. Video footage, photographs of property damage, expert testimony, and police reports are some common forms of evidence we use in cases like yours.
Detailing The Victim’s Accident-Related Damages
Insurance companies and other liable parties often demand a burden of proof before they pay for a claimant’s losses. Some documentation we often use to prove clients’ damages are:
- Medical expenses with a clear connection to the accident
- Expert testimony about the client’s physical, psychological, and emotional injuries
- Bills detailing the cost of repairing a car and replacing other damaged property
- Bank statements proving the client has lost income because of the accident
We use all documentation available to us to build the strongest case we can.
Securing A Fair Settlement For Rear-End Collision Victims
Reaching a fair settlement agreement is often challenging, but an effective lawyer will fight for their client’s financial recovery.
You may receive multiple lowball offers. An attorney will explain why these offers are inadequate and will continue fighting for a more appropriate deal.
Filing A Car Accident Lawsuit
Many rear-end accident victims file lawsuits for various reasons. An at-fault driver may be uninsured or insurance companies may refuse to offer a fair deal. If any circumstance prevents you from receiving a fair insurance settlement, your lawyer will be ready to take legal action.
Taking Your Rear-End Collision Case To Trial
Our law firm is never hesitant to go to trial. While trials are relatively rare in car accident cases, they can be the right course of action when a client does not receive fair compensation.
An Attorney Can Handle Any Insurance Claim Or Lawsuit You Need To File
No two rear-end accident cases are exactly alike. As your attorney forms their personalized case strategy, they will consider:
- How and why the rear-end accident happened
- Whether the motorist who rear-ended you had valid insurance
- Coverage limits on insurance policies that cover your collision
- How insurance companies handle your claim(s)
- Whether your lawyer is able to secure a fair settlement offer from liable insurers
Suing is often an option for many victims of rear-end crashes. By hiring an attorney with a long track record of winning both claims and lawsuits, you will have access to any strategy that is right for your circumstances.
Comprehensive Compensation Demands in Rear-End Collision Cases
The amount of compensation a rear-end collision victim can receive varies between each case. Your attorney will create a detailed record of your damages, which may include:
- Medical costs: Car accident victims often need emergency treatment, medical transport, imaging services, and a host of other services. We will document your medical treatment and include all accident-related medical expenses in our demands.
- Pain and suffering: Auto accidents can cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), physical pain, depression, and a host of other problems that we categorize as pain and suffering. These kinds of damages entitle you to monetary compensation.
- Professional losses: Your Tampa rear-end accident attorney will include lost income and other professional damages in settlement demands.
- Property expenses: We will insist that liable parties cover the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle, depending on the extent of the damage.
