New York Rear-End Accident Lawyers

The most common type of motor vehicle accident is the rear-end collision. Rear-end accidents can be minor or severe, with the consequences ranging from minor property damage to major physical injuries. Victims of rear-end collisions often have a right to financial compensation. Whether that’s by a claim filed with New York’s no-fault insurance system or through a personal injury lawsuit can depend on the nature of the accident and extent of damages owed. The seasoned rear-end accident lawyers at the Law Office of Taran M. Provost, PLLC can provide you with a thorough evaluation of your claim and help you take the next steps toward getting the money you’re owed after you’ve been hurt in a rear-end crash. Contact our dedicated Poughkeepsie auto accident lawyers today for a free consultation on your case.

Even low-speed rear-end accidents can cause injuries

Rear-end accidents often occur at low speeds, but the fact that the collision wasn’t violent or highly destructive to the vehicles involved doesn’t always mean that drivers escape without injury. The term “cervical acceleration-deceleration” is used to describe the impact suffered by the cervical spine that occurs to the driver of the front car in a rear-end crash. The way that the body is abruptly flung forward and slammed back against the car seat can result in damage to the spine in crashes occurring at even 25 mph, according to some research.

Help with insurance claims after a Hudson Valley rear-end accident

Despite this evidence, insurance companies are often reluctant to pay for medical treatment for rear-end crash victims when damage to vehicles is minor. This is why many accident victims get a lawyer’s help in seeking damages, even when they don’t plan to sue. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer negotiating on your behalf when filing an insurance claim often results in insurance adjusters taking your claim more seriously, rather than brushing you off with a paltry offer to settle or an outright denial of your claim.

The experienced Poughkeepsie auto accident lawyers at the Law Office of Taran M. Provost, PLLC can handle the process of filing a claim with an insurer on your behalf. Our experienced lawyers will present evidence of your injuries and losses to the adjusters and will negotiate skillfully for the compensation you need in order to make a full recovery. Contact our Poughkeepsie auto collision attorneys for a free consultation after a rear-end crash in the Hudson Valley.
