Soft-tissue Injuries are injuries to the muscles,
ligaments, tendons, cartilage, nerves, and surface
layers of the body. Many people suffer these injuries,
even in a minor car accident. In many instances, the
injury may not be apparent at the time of the auto accident.
Stiffness, swelling and pain may set in days later, causing
pain, inflammation or impingement cycles. This can limit
your day-to-day activities, your well-being and your quality
of life. If you've suffered these injuries in a car accident,

Injury and death from car accidents causes untold suffering. In the United States, an automobile accident injury occurs every 11 seconds and a death occurs every 12 minutes. The consequences of these car accidents include pain, suffering, medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, as well as the grief that accompanies the sudden loss of a loved one.
Even minor auto accidents can cause
injury. Sometimes these soft-tissue injuries
don’t become apparent until well after the
car accident. But these seemingly minor
injuries can disrupt your life, requiring
extensive medical treatment and
rehabilitation.

Many drivers believe that insurance
provides sufficient protection in the event
of an accident. Unfortunately that is often
not the reality. Despite Florida’s mandatory
automobile insurance laws, many drivers do
not carry sufficient coverage. Furthermore,
it’s in the insurance company's interest to
pay you as little as possible after a car
accident. They may not even offer you enough
money to cover your medical bills.
Our Success Stories
Ronald Rosen successfully represented a 17-year-old vehicle passenger who was struck head-on by another vehicle. He immediately settled for the policy limits of $10,000 with the driver of the vehicle that struck our client, and secured an additional $20,000 of uninsured motorist coverage from the vehicle in which our client was a passenger. Mr. Rosen then successfully obtained a settlement of $2,275,000 from the tractor-trailer driver, whose contact forced the vehicle across the median and head-on into our client. Without any eyewitnesses to the accident, substantial investigation and accident reconstruction techniques had to be utilized to help our client.
In another case we handled, our client alleged that a motorist pulled out in front of her car, causing her to lose control. As a result of the accident, our client suffered three fractures of her left leg, a fracture to the patella of the right leg and a heart attack. Our legal team successfully tried the case, and the jury awarded our client and her husband a substantial verdict.
At Rosen & Rosen, we know the tactics
that insurance companies use to minimize
your claim or deny you money altogether.
Those tactics include:
Taking a statement at the
scene or shortly thereafter. Do NOT talk
to an insurance company representative
at the scene of your accident! Talk to
an attorney first! Make sure that you do
not give any statements that the insurer
can later turn against you.
Getting you to sign a release
as part of a payment. Sometimes you will
be sent a check with confusing language.
If you cash the check, you may be barred
from any further claim for your
injuries.
