Rear End Collisions

Denver Whiplash and Rear End Collision Attorney

Rear end collisions are the most common type of car accident, and whiplash is a common result. The reality is that your injuries can run the gamut from neck injury to back injury to serious head injuries that may not fully reveal themselves for weeks following an accident.

We at The O'Connell Law Firm, P.C., understand how rapid acceleration/deceleration can strain and tear neck muscles similar to a knee injury. We also know how to ensure whiplash and other injuries in a rear end collision are properly diagnosed and treated. Attorney Michael O'Connell and our personal injury team offer 40 years of combined legal experience, access to resources and trial experience to effectively resolve your case.

Rear end collisions are more serious than insurance companies claim

If you are injured in a rear end car crash or get hit from behind in a truck accident, the insurance company of the negligent driver is responsible for paying your medical costs and other damages. Unfortunately, insurance carriers are in the business of making—not paying—money.

Insurance adjustors will use any number of tactics to dismiss your injuries in order to reduce or eliminate claim payments. They may not treat you, your injuries or your claim fairly. We do. Our job is to help you recover the extensive financial resources to treat your injuries and compensate you for your pain and suffering.

We understand the physical and financial damage to victims' lives.

We know that whiplash can cause disc damage anywhere along the spine. We understand that bulging discs cause pain in arms and legs or that herniated discs can require surgery and months of rehabilitation. We've seen how a closed head injury due to rapid back and forth movement of the head can cause subtle damage that can ultimately result in permanent injury months later.

Our goal is to use every resource at our disposal to ensure we clearly establish liability in a crash, fully document the extent of your brain or spinal cord injury and its full impact on your life, and to effectively present a compelling case in negotiation or in court.
