Gainesville Whiplash Accident Attorney
Accident fault and liability are typically clear-cut after a rear-end collision anywhere in Florida, including the Ocala-Gainesville area, Marion County, or metro areas such as Jacksonville or Tampa. Many cases have reaffirmed a "presumption of negligence" by the driver who hits another vehicle from behind.
Victims of rear-end collisions often do not immediately know the extent of their injuries. In fact, most simply believe neck pain, back pain, severe strains and other consequences will ease over time. Your decision to contact a lawyer quickly can be very beneficial, but Steven Wingo, Attorney at Law, may also be able to help you recover compensation if some time has passed and your injuries are worse than you initially believed.
Caring Attention to Your Medical Needs and All Angles on Your Legal Case
As is the case with a drunk driving accident resulting in a DUI conviction, fault is not typically an issue if you have been hurt in a rear-end collision. Several other factors are likely to call for an engaged, experienced lawyer, however, including:
- Demonstrating the full personal and financial impact of injuries that do not initially appear catastrophic, but ultimately cause severe pain and require surgery or ongoing treatment
- The need to maximize the benefit of all applicable insurance coverage or other means of recovery — from your own personal injury protection (PIP) claim to a lawsuit against a negligent driver or uncooperative insurer
- A need to prove that texting or other forms of distracted driving contributed to the crash
Car accidents of all types — from T-bone collisions, sideswipes and head-on crashes between passenger vehicles to those involving commercial trucks or buses — are a major focus for this law firm. A highly qualified legal team will take your needs seriously, help you get quality medical care if necessary, and pursue your valid claim with skill and vigor.
