What to Expect from the Defense in a West Palm Beach Car Accident Case

There are numerous defense strategies the insurance companies will employ while litigating a West Palm Beach car accident case.  They will hire chiropractors, biomechanics, accident reconstructionists and other experts in an effort to delay, deny and defend your right to recovery.  One of the major things the defense typically focuses on is the severity of the impact by looking at the change in velocity of your vehicle or Delta V.  This is done to attempt to show that the impact was not sufficient to cause injury even though force of impact is not alone a reliable gauge of injury and studies have shown that there is no correlation between whiplash grade and Delta V and that there is no threshold above or below which an injury is more or less likely to occur.

The defense may also attempt to show that you suffer from a pre-existing condition and that complaints are related to that and not a new injury.  Insurance companies will often hire doctors who may say that the plaintiff has received a lot of unecessary medical care and accumulated unreasonable medical bills.  The attorneys at Sharmin and Sharmin, P.A. only handle car accident cases and are experienced at anticipating and deflecting the typical insurance defense strategies.
