Building a Case for Your Rear-End Collision Accident
We build a case to show how you were harmed physically, emotionally, and financially by the rear-end collision accident.
We start by performing a thorough investigation of your car wreck. We know that it takes solid evidence to make a strong case. So, we secure evidence for your case that may include:
- Your medical records that show the severity of your injuries.
- A police report of the accident.
- Photographs of the accident scene.
- Traffic or surveillance camera video footage of the accident.
- Eyewitness statements about the accident.
In some cases, we work with professional consultants who provide additional documentation that strengthens our client’s claim for damages.
Proving Negligence in a Rear-End Collision Accident
In Tennessee, injury accident victims are allowed to recover compensation if they can show that someone else’s negligence caused them to suffer damages. The at-fault driver and the driver’s car insurance company must pay for those damages.
Although negligence may appear clear-cut in a rear-end accident, the driver who hit you or the driver’s insurer may try to place some fault on you to reduce the value of your claim. However, we can build a strong case with solid evidence to help you fight an insurer’s allegations.
For instance, our investigation may find that your collision accident happened as a result of the rear driver :
- Tailgating (driving too closely behind you)
- Reading or sending text messages
- Speeding
- Failing to see traffic slowing down ahead
In Tennessee, every driver has a duty to exercise reasonable care and avoid causing an accident. In your case, the driver behind you violated this duty, caused an accident, and you suffered damages as result.
Pursuing Compensation for Your Damages
You have several options for pursuing compensation for your rear-end collision accident. The options include:
- Filing an insurance claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
- Filing an insurance claim with your own care insurance company if the at-fault driver does not have car insurance.
- Filing an insurance claim with your own insurer if the at-fault driver has car insurance but the driver’s policy is not sufficient to cover all your damages.
If you decide to file an insurance claim, we can file the paperwork and negotiate with the insurance adjuster for full and fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
Although we usually have successful outcomes in negotiations, there are times when an insurer refuses to offer fair compensation or disputes fault over an accident. In these instances, we may file a lawsuit and take the case to trial.
Our goal is to get you the best outcome for the losses you suffered from your car wreck. To learn more about pursuing compensation, contact a rear-end collision accident lawyer in Tennessee at 865-546-1111 for a free consultation.
