Rear-ended on I-95 or Federal Highway? Whiplash and neck injuries can upend your life. Alexandra holds the at-fault driver accountable β and fights for every dollar you're owed.
Florida follows a legal presumption that the rear driver in a rear-end collision is negligent. To overcome it, the rear driver has to come forward with evidence that the lead driver was also negligent β a significant advantage for injured victims. The logic is simple: drivers are expected to maintain a safe following distance and stay alert.
The presumption is not absolute. The rear driver can rebut it by showing you stopped suddenly without cause, your brake lights were broken, or a third vehicle created a chain-reaction. Alexandra knows how to anticipate these defenses and dismantle them with evidence.
Call Now: (305) 853-8628 βThe signature rear-end injury. Your head snaps forward and back, straining neck muscles and ligaments. Pain, stiffness, and headaches may not appear for days. Left untreated, whiplash can cause chronic neck problems.
The force of impact can rupture spinal discs, pressing on nerves and causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms and legs. These injuries often require surgery and long-term physical therapy.
Your head can strike the headrest or steering wheel even in low-speed rear-end crashes. Concussions and traumatic brain injuries cause memory problems, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating β symptoms that can last months.
The steps you take immediately after a rear-end collision affect your case.
See a doctor within 14 days of the crash β Florida's PIP deadline. Even if you feel fine, whiplash and concussion symptoms often emerge hours or days later. Delayed treatment gives insurers an excuse to deny your claim.
Photograph vehicle damage from multiple angles, including the rear of your car and the front of theirs. Note road conditions, traffic signals, and whether the other driver was distracted or following too closely.
