We Can Help You Attempt to Receive the Awards You Should Have
When you are going through a situation like this for the first time, it can seem overwhelming. Our Denton rear end crash lawyer will explain the process fully, so you always understand what is happening. Trust that we will work tirelessly toward helping you receive all of the awards that you should have.
Medical Bill Reimbursement
As a start, you should receive reimbursement for any medical bills you accumulate during treatment for your injuries suffered in the accident. These can include:
- Emergency medical care
- Ambulance transportation
- Hospital stay
- Prescription drugs
- Physical therapy
- In-home nursing care
Our Denton personal injury lawyer knows that insurance companies sometimes balk at paying ongoing medical expenses. Trust that we will present facts that show why your injuries suffered in the rear end accident require ongoing care and why you deserve reimbursement.
Lost Time at Work
When your injuries leave you unable to work, you will have no income at the same time you are seeing your medical bills increase. We understand just how frustrating and frightening this situation can be.
We will do everything we can to help you receive an award to reimburse you for any wages you could not earn while recovering from your injuries. Should you be unable to work for years to come, we will make sure we try to seek a financial award that reimburses you for this amount of lost wages too.
Pain and Suffering Award
As another aspect of winning a settlement after the crash, our team may seek a pain and suffering judgement for you, as defined in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §41.001. Aspects of a pain and suffering award can include:
- Disfigurement
- Disablement
- Ongoing pain
- Inability to enjoy your favorite activities
- Reduction in quality of life
- Nightmares or insomnia related to the crash
- Inability to ride in or drive a car because of ongoing fear

Understanding the Lingering Effects of Rear End Accidents
According to a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) study, almost half of two-vehicle crashes in the United States involve a rear end collision. The consequences after a rear end crash often are significant, as the NTSB study found that about 1,700 people die annually in these types of crashes.
For those who survive the rear end crash, the effects of any injuries can be long lasting. In a serious rear end collision, back and neck injuries are common.
How Do I Know If I Have a Serious Injury?
After a rear end accident, you may feel like you did not suffer a serious injury. You may have a little bit of pain or a headache, but you can walk, so you consider yourself lucky. You may even turn down the suggestion from first responders that you should ride to the hospital in an ambulance for further examination.
However, in the hours after the crash, you may begin to feel the true effects of the crash. Your level of pain increases, and your range of motion becomes limited. This is understandable, as adrenaline in the aftermath of the crash can mask some of your injuries and pain.
We would always recommend visiting a doctor either immediately after the crash or within a day or two afterward. This is the only way to be certain you do not have serious injuries that may affect your life indefinitely. Having a doctor’s report in hand is vital if you expect to file a lawsuit in the future as well.
