In rear end shunt accidents in Deerfield Beach and across Florida, there is often a clear at-fault driver. The driver who crashes into the rear of another vehicle is usually considered responsible for the crash. This is because even if the driver who has been hit had to brake suddenly, the driver behind them should have been paying attention and should have left enough room to brake safely. If they did not and their negligence caused a collision, they should be held liable for the accident. Unfortunately, what happens in some rear end shunt accidents is that the at-fault driver and their insurance company will try to pass on blame to the victim in order to avoid paying out the full insurance amount possible.
The attorneys of Flaxman Law Group have dealt with many such cases and have successfully negotiated on behalf of injured parties and have won court settlements on behalf of clients who have been injured in this manner. If you would like to find out what is possible in the legal world in your situation, contact Flaxman Law Group for a no obligation, no cost case consultation.
