You Might Feel Fine—But That Doesn’t Mean You’re Injury-Free
After a car accident, it’s common to feel fine or just a little sore. You may think you don’t need medical attention or legal help. But in reality, injuries like whiplash, concussions, or soft tissue damage can take hours or even days to appear. If you wait too long, it may hurt both your health and your ability to recover compensation.
Florida Law Presumes Negligence in Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end accidents are the most common type of crash in Florida. Even if the accident seems moderate, the law presumes the driver who hit you was negligent. That means you don’t have to prove fault—you only need to prove your injuries and damages. This could include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Why Calling a Lawyer Matters—Even If You Feel Fine
You may be tempted to handle things on your own, especially if you don’t think you’re seriously hurt. But insurance adjusters are not on your side. They often try to settle quickly and for less than you deserve. By contacting an attorney before speaking to the other driver’s insurance company, you protect your rights and ensure your case is properly evaluated.
