Some may believe that once a rear end crash is essentially an open and shut case. The automobile insurance company will recognize and admit liability and responsibility for damages to the vehicle that was rear ended and admit liability and responsibility for the injuries to the driver and passengers who were occupying the vehicle that was rear ended. The truth is that automobile insurance companies scrutinize every part of a claim or case including the cause and details of the crash, the extent of the impact or the force of the impact, the relationship of the crash to the injuries complained of, the age of the injury victim, the prior medical history and condition of the injury victim, the reasonableness and necessity of the medical care provided, the finding of the treating medical providers, the finding of the treating radiologist, and the reports of the treating medical providers. Florida law provides that it is the burden of the injury victim to prove by the preponderance of the evidence all elements of a personal injury case which are as follows:
Assuming that the cause or fault of the accident is not in dispute. The automobile insurance company will still challenge the elements of Causation and Damages. Furthermore, it should be noted that Florida is a No-Fault state as it pertains to compensation for pain, suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment life. As such, an injury victim must prove that he or she has sustained a permanent injury or permanent scarring as a result of the Florida Automobile Accident.
