You could collect compensation for harm caused by a rear-end collision in Orlando. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can oversee your case from start to finish. We provide responsive legal care. Our Orlando lawyers handle rear-end collisions and can pursue the compensation that you are entitled to recover. A settlement or judgment may compensate you for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost productivity
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Losses from a wrongful death
• Any other losses caused by your accident

Specific Losses for Which You May Receive A Settlement

We break down your losses as specifically as possible. By doing this, we ensure that no loss goes overlooked.

The following are damages that we generally see in car accident cases. You could collect coverage for each of these specific losses.

Medical Expenses

Your settlement may provide coverage for the cost of:

• An ambulance ride
• Emergency care
• Urgent care
• Hospitalization
• Medications
• Medical imaging
• Follow-up treatment

Your medical expenses may compound over time. As you suffer more medical costs, we continue to pursue coverage. If you suffer long-term or permanent disability, then additional costs may include the price of:

• A part-time caregiver
• A full-time caregiver
• In-home medical equipment
• Mobile assistance equipment
• A vehicle that accommodates your disabilities

We include all your medical costs when negotiating compensation for you.

Work-Related Losses

If you are injured, then you may be unable to work. When you cannot work, you may:

• Lose income
• Fall behind on work-related projects
• Lose standing within your company

You may not be able to work the same job that you did before your accident. You may have to change professions, limit your hours, retire, or adapt in other ways. You may earn less as a result.

We can pursue financial coverage for the work-related outcomes of your accident.

Mental Anguish and Other Forms of Pain and Suffering

Our firm seeks coverage for your pain and suffering. This category of losses generally accounts for:

• Mental anguish caused by your pain and other injury-related consequences
• Counseling for trauma
• Loss of quality of life
• Physical pain
• Loss of physical and cognitive abilities
• Loss of personal or professional opportunities

Pain and suffering may be a significant portion of the settlement that you receive.

Case Values Vary for Each Client

We can provide more detailed information about your case value once we speak with you. By learning the details of your case, we can determine the cost of your losses. Even minor accidents can be met with compensation not provided by insurance companies.

We conduct in-depth research into your case. During this process, we generally:

• Speak with you
• Speak with loved ones who have seen the effects of your accident
• Speak with witnesses to your accident
• Discuss your injuries with your doctors
• Gather evidence of your losses
• Conduct calculations of your current and future losses

The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine goes the extra mile. This means thoroughly investigating and documenting your losses. A lawyer from our firm can seek a fair settlement for you after you suffer a rear-end collision in Orlando.

The Benefits of Hiring the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine

Hiring the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine means leaving the legal work to us. You worry about getting better. We take care of everything else.

The following are benefits that clients receive from hiring our firm.

We Know Personal Injury Law

Any lawyer that you hire should have a strong understanding of personal injury law. We do. Our knowledge and experience allow us to:

• File your case before any deadlines expire
• File your case in the right venue
• Determine who is liable for your losses
• Determine how many parties owe you compensation
• Defend you against unsound legal arguments
• Negotiate on your behalf

We are familiar with rules such as Florida Statutes § 768.81. This rule states that you may receive compensation even if you are partially at fault for your rear-end collision.

Let us deal with the legal aspects of your case—it’s what we do.

We Offer Responsive Legal Help

Every client deserves hands-on legal care. This is what we provide. You can expect our team to:

• Answer your phone calls
• Return your phone messages
• Respond promptly to your emails
• Provide case updates
• Treat you with respect and dignity
• Handle your case with empathy

We keep you as involved in your case as you would like. We even help you make appointments if you have not yet seen someone to examine your injuries, fix your car, or other important appointments necessary after your accident.

We Charge Nothing Up Front

We offer you a contingency-fee payment structure. As the American Bar Association (ABA) explains, this structure means that we do not get paid unless you do.

You do not pay us upfront. Instead, we receive a percentage of any settlement or judgment that we obtain. You never pay out of pocket.

This arrangement means that you do not have to worry about the cost of hiring a lawyer. You either win compensation or do not pay for our help.

Let Us Handle Your Case From Start to Finish

We are a full-service law firm. When we accept your case, we intend to finish it.

Our duty to you begins with defending your rights. We protect you from the insurance companies and other parties as soon as you hire us. We then pursue a financial recovery that covers your accident-related losses.

Some steps we generally take for clients include:

• Ensuring the timely filing of your case
• Gathering evidence and documentation
• Determining liability
• Determining the cost of your losses
• Completing a settlement
• Completing a trial

We go to trial when settlements are not possible. A settlement is a more likely outcome to your case, as the ABA explains.

What is a Rear-End Collision?

A rear-end collision is any traffic accident where the front of one vehicle hits the back of another vehicle. Rear-end collisions may be relatively minor, resulting in only slight damage to the cars, or severe, causing major injuries to the occupants of one or both vehicles.

Common causes of rear-end car accidents include:

• Tailgating: If one car is following another too closely, there is little room left for the trailing vehicle to stop if the vehicle in front comes to a halt.
• Speeding: Similarly, if the trailing vehicle is going too fast for the conditions, they may not be able to stop when another vehicle appears or stops in front of them.
• Distracted driving: If a trailing driver takes their eyes off the road for even a moment to check their phone or look at a passenger, they may not see how close they are to the car in front until it is too late.

In each of these cases, the driver of the trailing vehicle can be considered at-fault for the accident. However, there are also cases where the driver in front or another party bears partial or sole responsibility for the wreck. Such circumstances include:

• If the vehicle in front suddenly stops or reduces speed when there is no reason for them to do so.
• A traffic light or stop sign is broken, causing confusion about who is supposed to stop and when.
• The trailing driver’s car is outfitted with faulty brakes, which malfunction while the car is in motion, making it impossible for the driver to stop in time

In such cases, the driver in front, a local government agency, and a car part manufacturer respectively would be responsible for the rear-end collision.

What to Do After A Rear-End Collision

Traffic accidents are unexpected, confusing, and harrowing events. It is natural to be unsure of what to do in the heat of the moment. Below are some general steps that may protect your health and your rights after a car accident, but do not panic if you did not complete each one. We may still be able to help you pursue compensation:

• Make sure everyone is safe
• Call 911 if anyone has suffered a serious injury or is unconscious
• Call the police to report the accident
• Get the other driver’s information, including their name and insurance information
• Wait at the scene to speak to the police (unless you need immediate medical attention)
• Provide the police with short, factual answers to their questions—try to avoid anything that may sound incriminating
• Talk to a rear-end collisions lawyer from our firm

If the other driver leaves the scene without speaking to you, they have committed a hit and run. This is illegal in Florida, per Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), but there were still nearly 7,000 hit and run accidents in Orange County in 2021, also according to FLHSMV.

Even if we cannot locate the driver, we can still work to find a way for you to recover compensation.
