Rear-End Crashes
Often look simple, but insurers still fight injury causation, prior conditions, gap in treatment, and whether the impact was hard enough to cause the claimed injuries.
Crash Types
Different wrecks create different evidence problems. Use this page to identify the claim type you are dealing with and jump to the guide that matches the insurance and documentation issues most likely to matter.
Often look simple, but insurers still fight injury causation, prior conditions, gap in treatment, and whether the impact was hard enough to cause the claimed injuries.
These claims usually turn on traffic signals, turning movements, witness statements, nearby camera footage, skid marks, and whether either driver was speeding or distracted.
Commercial crashes can involve the driver, employer, maintenance company, broker, cargo loading, and higher insurance layers. Evidence preservation matters immediately.
Uber, Lyft, delivery, and company-vehicle crashes raise coverage questions that depend on whether the driver was logged in, carrying a passenger, making a delivery, or working at the time.
Serious injuries are common, and fault arguments can be aggressive. Preserve scene photos, lighting conditions, lane position, helmet evidence when relevant, and medical records from day one.
When the at-fault driver has no coverage or minimum limits, your own UM/UIM coverage can become the practical source of recovery. Treat it like a real claim, not a friendly favor.
