Guzman & Kluck, PLLC helped secure a $275,000 litigation settlement in an auto accident case involving a rear-end collision in Collier County, Florida.
Rear-end accidents are among the most common types of motor vehicle collisions, but that does not mean every rear-end accident is simple. Depending on the circumstances, these cases can involve disagreements over liability, the nature and extent of a person’s injuries, medical treatment, insurance coverage, and the amount of compensation that may be appropriate.
When an insurance claim cannot be resolved fairly, litigation may become necessary. In this case, the matter proceeded through litigation before ultimately resolving for $275,000.
Understanding Rear-End Accident Claims in Florida
A rear-end collision occurs when one vehicle strikes another vehicle from behind. These crashes can happen for many reasons, including distracted driving, following too closely, speeding, sudden traffic changes, or a driver’s failure to react to stopped or slowing vehicles.
Even collisions that initially appear relatively straightforward can develop into complicated personal injury claims.
Insurance companies may examine vehicle damage, medical records, prior medical history, statements from the people involved, photographs, accident reports, and other evidence when evaluating a claim. Questions may also arise regarding whether particular medical conditions were caused or aggravated by the accident.
For an injured person, dealing with these issues while simultaneously trying to recover can be difficult.
When an Auto Accident Claim Goes Into Litigation
Not every Florida car accident claim requires a lawsuit. Some claims can be resolved through negotiations between the injured party, their attorney, and the insurance company.
However, filing a lawsuit may become necessary when there is a significant disagreement about liability, damages, insurance coverage, or the value of the claim.
Litigation can involve gathering and exchanging evidence, reviewing medical documentation, taking depositions, working with experts when appropriate, filing motions, negotiating with opposing parties, and preparing the case for trial.
Preparing a case for litigation is important because an insurance company needs to understand that the injured person’s legal team is prepared to continue pursuing the matter if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.
