Watch: Rear-End Crash Lawyer Explains Your Legal Options.
Rear-end collisions are often straightforward in determining liability. There is a law requiring drivers to maintain a specific distance based on their speed. If a driver fails to follow this rule, they can be found negligent. It's crucial to present this evidence effectively to avoid leaving the decision to a jury, which can lead to unexpected losses.
Rearing collisions seem easy, and to a degree they are. We really don't use English law so much anymore what a reasonable person do. In rearing collisions, there's a provisional law that says that you have to maintain 20 feet of distance for every 10 mile an hour of speed. And if you fail to do that as a matter of law, you're negligent. So if I can get someone to, and I always can, admit that when they have a rearing collision that they didn't follow that rule, the judge will find them liable and that part doesn't go to a jury. That way all the jury has to do is determine how much does the person owe. If you get into those cases and you think it's going to be easy and you leave that part to a jury, people lose those, oddly enough. You would not think that you would lose a rearing collision case, but insurance companies can win those cases. And there's a way to prevent that. And that's by simply applying the law that protects you. So remember, there's a law out there that helps. Call me.
