Holiday Car Accident
Types of Car Accident Claims We Work On
No two car accidents are alike. You need an attorney on your side who will take a unique, personalized approach to investigating your crash and building your accident claim while also having experience in a wide range of car accident case types. At the law office of Kemp Law Law Group, our Holiday, FL car accident lawyers can help you if you’ve been in a:
- Rear-end crash. Rear-end crashes are typically regarded as the least serious but most common type of car accident. At the Kemp Law Law Group, we’ve seen some rear-end crashes that are in fact very serious. Let us help you recover the compensation you deserve.
- Head-on collision. A head-on collision is one of the most serious crash types – these types of accidents are often fatal. If you’ve been in a head-on collision and have suffered serious injuries, our legal team will be by your side to help you prove fault and get a settlement.
- Side-swipe accident. Often a result of illegal lane changes, driving in a blind spot, and failure to look, side-swipe accidents can be serious, especially when they occur at high speeds.
- T-bone crash. A T-bone accident occurs when the front-end of one vehicle strikes the side of another, forming a T-like shape. These accidents usually occur at intersections.
- Rollover accident. Rollover accidents can occur because a vehicle trips, because it tips when taking a turn too fast, or because it collides with another object that forces a rollover. Rollover accidents can be very serious, especially if vehicle occupants are ejected during the crash.
- Multi-vehicle pileup. While most multi-vehicle pile-ups happen at low speeds and, fortunately, don’t lead to serious injuries, when they do, getting to the bottom of who caused the case is important. Unfortunately, determining fault in this type of accident can be complex, not least of all because of the number of motor vehicles involved.
Car Accidents in Holiday Lead to Tragic Injuries
When a car accident occurs, it could lead to tragic injuries. Factors that can impact the severity of the accident and the amount of force involved in a crash include the angle and type of collision, the speed at which vehicles are traveling at the time of impact, and the safety features of the vehicles and their use, including whether or not occupants are belted at the time of crash.
Types of injuries and losses a person may suffer following a serious crash include:
- Traumatic brain injuries. If a person suffers a bump or blow to the head, or the penetration of the skull, they may suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- Spinal cord injury. One of the most tragic types of injuries that a person can incur is a spinal cord injury. This type of injury is irreversible, and can lead to partial or complete paralysis.
- Injuries to extremities. A person’s extremities may be severely harmed in a crash. Bone fracture injuries, crush injuries, amputation injuries, soft tissue injuries, and lacerations and skin injuries are all common.
- Internal injuries. In a car accident, a person’s internal organs may be damaged if they sustain blunt force or trauma, or if they are punctured by an object or a broken bone. For example, a broken rib may puncture a lung.
In addition to serious injuries, a car accident victim will likely incur expensive medical bills, suffer a disability that leaves them unable to work, and perhaps develop psychological injuries, too. Pain, suffering, and emotional distress are also common.
Being in a car accident may be the most traumatic event of your life. If you’ve been in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you need a skilled attorney on your side who will advocate for your rights. At the Kemp Law Law Group, our lawyers understand what you’re going through.

FAQs
you deserve answers
-
How Do I Know Who Was At-Fault?
Fault is determined by the evidence collected during the investigation. We look to many things to determine fault in the case: we look to the police report, we look to witness statements, we look to the property damage to the vehicles, skid marks, layout of the cars, etc. Sometimes we even have to refer to accident re-constructionists to do a professional examination of the all the evidence to do a recommendation for us, but that does not happen in very many cases.
-
Will I Recover Monetary Damages?
It depends on who was at fault for the accident. If you were at fault, your insurance company will pay for the damage to the vehicle. If you were not at fault, the at-fault driver’s or owner’s insurance policy will pay for the damage, and if they do not have enough coverage to cover the damage to your vehicle, your collision coverage (if purchased) would pay for the damage to your vehicle.
-
What Documents Will I Need?
We like you to bring the driver’s exchange of information that the police officer gives you at the scene. We also like you bring any photographs of damage at the scene. Also bring your health insurance cards and your auto insurance cards or declarations page, so we can review the coverage available to you.
-
What Should I Say To The Insurance Company?
The at-fault party’s insurance company could ask you to give them a recorded statement. You do not have to give them a recorded statement. However, if your own insurance company asks you for a recorded statement please seek advice from your attorney so that they can assist you in giving that statement. But yes you do have to comply and you do have to give your insurance company a recorded statement.
-
Will I Have To Go To Court?
Actually, most cases, or a large percentage of the cases are resolved pre-suit, which means the cases never go to court. We work with the insurance companies before filing suit to try to find a fair resolution for the client, which save money on expenses, court costs and attorney’s fees.
