It’s true that most people will be involved in at least one car accident in their lifetime. But the reasons may vary why these crashes occur. For some, a speeding or distracted driver is to blame, resulting in a car accident lawsuit. For others, bad road conditions or weather is to blame.

A rear-end collision is the simplest type of car accident case. When a person’s car is hit from behind while waiting at a stop sign or a red light the negligent driver will be liable for your injuries. Often people suffer what is known as whiplash. Do not let the term whiplash minimize your injury.

The human body is not made to endure the type of impact a person experiences in a car wreck. What the insurance companies call whiplash actually has a medical term and it is called an acceleration/deceleration injury.

Florida has a prevalent truck accident record. While truck accidents are common all over the United States, Florida is among the nine states that account for half of the fatal truck crashes.
