Annapolis, Maryland Rear End Collision Attorney
Rear-end collisions often involve serious head, neck, and back injuries that often leave their victims disabled or in pain for the rest of their lives. In order to ensure our clients recover damages proportional to their injuries, our office consults life care planners and medical economists when calculating costs associated with surgery, physical therapy, in-home nursing care, medical equipment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also work with medical experts when doctors for an insurance company try to question the nature or scope of our client's injuries. Our office also works with accident investigators in order to determine why a rear end collision happened. We look at a driver's cell phone records, determine if he or she was texting, eating, or driving too fast for road conditions.
We have the experience and resources needed to hold negligent drivers financially accountable for rear end collisions they cause. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, contact car accident lawyer Marc D. Schifanelli today to schedule an appointment.

Don't Talk to an Insurance Claims Adjuster without Your Attorney
Insurance companies employ a number of strategies to reduce the amount they have to pay in claims. Most insurers realize it may take weeks, if not months, for the full impact of a head or neck injury to become known. That's why they often try to settle rear-end collision cases as soon as possible; if they can get you to accept a settlement before the full scope of your injuries is apparent, they can save thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars.
Additionally, most insurers use the computer program "Colossus" to calculate claims. Using pre-set algorithms, Colossus depends on the variables a claims adjuster enters into its software to determine how much an injured person should receive. While this minimizes human judgment, it also means Colossus does not take into consideration pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, or the long-term effects of certain kinds of injuries.
