Serious Injuries Are Surprisingly Common
Contrary to popular opinion, car accidents involving rear end collisions frequently cause serious injuries with long-term implications. The most common injury — whiplash — may be the butt of many jokes, but it can cause real, long-term pain and impairment, significantly diminishing the quality of the victim's life. Underestimating the value of these claims is common — in one instance, we were able to turn a $5,000 offer from the insurance company into an $85,000 trial verdict.
In addition to whiplash, rear end collisions can cause more severe injuries like brain damage, herniated discs, slipped discs, nerve damage, shoulder injuries, hip injuries, head injuries and TMJ syndrome (dislocation of the lower jaw). At The Jaffe Law Firm, P.C., we handle all types of injuries resulting from rear end collisions, including:
- Neck and back injuries
- Head and spinal cord injuries
- Fractures
- Brain "shearing" injuries
When Symptoms Aren't Immediately Apparent
Often, individuals don't immediately experience pain or other symptoms from injuries suffered in a rear end collision. Even if you stated after the accident that you felt no pain, you can still recover compensation if the injuries start to cause pain hours or even days after the accident.
You can also recover compensation for pre-existing conditions, provided the accident made the pre-existing condition significantly worse.
