White Plains Rear-End Collisions Lawyer

Another driver colliding with the back of your car can leave you shocked and injured. If you or someone you love was involved in a rear-end collision, you might be entitled to financial compensation due to the at-fault driver’s negligence. A White Plains rear-end collisions lawyer can help you prove how the other driver’s negligent actions caused the accident that injured you. They may also help you fight for compensation with an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.

You should not have to bear the financial burden of your car accident injuries. If you were rear-ended by another driver in White Plains, New York, contact the personal injury team at Morelli Law Firm by calling (212) 751-9800 to explore your legal options with one of our team representatives.

Your Lawyer May Prove How the At-Fault Driver Caused the Accident

Our team may ask you to obtain a copy of your official crash report if you are considering filing a personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit against the driver who ran into the back of your car. According to the New York Vehicle and Traffic Laws (VAT) § 605, you are required to file a crash report if an accident led to:

  • An injury
  • A fatality
  • Property damage of at least $1,000

Your crash report might help your lawyer prove the cause of the rear-end accident. The report might contain:

  • The investigating officer’s notes
  • A diagram that describes the accident
  • Each vehicle’s points of impact
  • Details on any tickets issued
  • Vehicle damage codes

Your crash report can be a valuable piece of evidence that might also include the names of all involved parties and any fatalities.

Proving Your Rear-End Collision Injuries

If you were the driver or passenger in a car that was rear-ended by another driver, you might have sustained injuries that caused short- or long-term physical damage. According to the Mayo Clinic, whiplash is a commonly reported rear-end accident injury. Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when your neck snaps back and forth after a powerful impact.

If you suffer from whiplash as the result of a rear-end accident, you might experience symptoms like:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Pain that worsens with movement
  • Limited range of neck motion
  • Persistent headaches
  • Arm tenderness, tingling, or numbness
  • Fatigue, dizziness, visual disturbances
  • Lethargy, memory problems, or depression

You might also require costly and extensive treatments that include:

  • Extended rest and immobility
  • Over-the-counter medications
  • Prescription medications
  • Specialized exercises
  • Extended physical therapy
  • Supportive foam cervical collars

You might be able to recover the cost of these treatments by filing a personal injury compensation claim against the at-fault driver. If you and your lawyer can prove negligence, you might be eligible to collect financial compensation to cover your injury-related expenses and losses.

Make Sure to File Your Lawsuit Before the Statutory Deadline

If you are considering seeking financial compensation from the negligent driver who caused your rear-end car accident, do not hesitate to contact a member of our personal injury team as soon as possible. According to the New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) § 214, you are generally entitled to three years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit.

Failing to file your lawsuit on time may force you to inadvertently give up the right to file your lawsuit and compel the negligent driver to compensate you for your damages.

Should you file your personal injury lawsuit on time, you may be able to recover the following economic and non-economic damages:

  • Current medical care costs
  • Future medical care costs
  • Current loss of income
  • Future loss of income
  • Property repair costs
  • Property replacement costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental distress
  • Emotional trauma

Every personal injury claim is different, and your potential compensation might include expenses and losses not included in this list. You can discuss your potential financial recovery with one of our team members. Contact us at Morelli Law Firm by calling (212) 751-9800 today.

Know the Benefits of a White Plains Rear-End Collisions Lawyer

In New York, you can file a compensation claim on your own. However, there are benefits and advantages to hiring a rear-end collision lawyer that you might want to consider.

Our team can concentrate on moving your case forward while you concentrate on recovering from your injuries. Your legal may also:

  • Review and assess each settlement offer you receive
  • Build a comprehensive case file that supports your claim
  • Identify, locate, and interview witnesses to the rear-end collision
  • Obtain, complete, and submit insurance forms
  • Assess the total monetary value of your pending compensation package

Your lawyer might also be able to help ensure you do not accept a settlement offer that does not fairly cover your damages, including damages you expect to incur in the future.

We Build a Comprehensive Case File for Each Client

The case file that bolsters and supports your right to financial compensation due to a negligent driver may include:

  • Medical records and bills
  • Official crash report
  • Witness statements
  • Pictures of your injuries
  • Pictures of your vehicle
  • Proof of your lost income

We want to build a robust case file so that we have the documents we need to prove how the at-fault driver’s negligence caused the rear-end collision. Your case file may also help us prove the total extent of your damages and losses, including how much compensation you need to recover.

Morelli Law Firm Will Fight for Your Financial Recovery

You might be entitled to receive compensation if you were injured in a White Plains car accident. You can review the details of the rear-end accident with one of our team members, and we can assign a White Plains rear-end collisions lawyer to your case to help you get started. Contact the personal injury team at Morelli Law Firm by calling (212) 751-9800 today.
