In situations where a rear-end car accident causes or contributes to the death of a loved one, many families also have the option of suing for wrongful death. Funds from a wrongful death lawsuit can cover economic concerns like lost income, as well as emotional harms like the loss of a spouse, parent, or child. Contact Osborne & Francis at (561) 293-2600 to discuss your circumstances in a free, respectful, and private consultation.
What Injuries Can a Florida Rear-End Collision Attorney Handle?
A rear-end collision attorney can handle a wide range of injuries that may result from such accidents. While each case is unique, here are some common injuries that a rear-end collision attorney can assist you with:
- Whiplash: Whiplash is one of the most common injuries in rear-end collisions. It occurs when the head and neck are forcefully jerked forward and then snapped back, causing strain or damage to the soft tissues in the neck. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and reduced range of motion.
- Back and spinal cord injuries: Rear-end collisions can result in back injuries, such as herniated discs, fractures, or spinal cord damage. These injuries can cause severe pain, numbness or tingling, loss of sensation, paralysis, or even long-term disability.
- Brain injuries: The sudden impact of a rear-end collision can cause head injuries ranging from concussions and contusions to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These injuries can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, headaches, dizziness, and changes in mood or behavior.
- Internal injuries: The forceful impact in a rear-end collision can cause internal injuries, including damage to organs, internal bleeding, or bruising. These injuries may not always be immediately apparent and may require medical evaluation to diagnose. Damage to reproductive organs can drastically impact a person’s life and future.
- Facial injuries: Injuries to the face, such as lacerations, fractures, or dental damage, can occur due to the impact of the collision or contact with the steering wheel, dashboard, or airbags. These can cause traumatizing disfigurement and difficulty with vision, hearing, speaking, eating, and social interactions.
Also keep in mind that psychological trauma is also an injury sustained during rear-end car accidents in Florida. The scratches can lead to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues that your settlement should cover in full.
