« All FAQ About Rear-End Collisions

Can I recover from pain and suffering in a rear-end accident case?

If you have been involved in a rear-end accident, you may be wondering if you can get a rental car while your car is being repaired. Here’s what you need to know about rental cars after being rear ended:

  1. Determine who is at fault: If the other driver was at fault for the accident, their insurance company may be responsible for providing you with a rental car while your car is being repaired. If you were at fault for the accident, your insurance company may still provide you with a rental car if you have rental car coverage.
  2. Check your insurance policy: Before you rent a car, you should check your insurance policy to see if rental car coverage is included. Some policies include this coverage, while others do not.
  3. Understand the limitations: Rental car coverage typically has limitations, such as a daily rental limit or a maximum rental period. It’s important to understand these limitations and work with your insurance company or the other driver’s insurance company to make sure you are not left without transportation.
  4. Keep records of expenses: If you do incur expenses related to renting a car, be sure to keep records of your expenses, including receipts and rental agreements. These records will be important if you need to file a claim for reimbursement.
  5. Consult with an attorney: If you are unsure about your legal rights or have difficulty getting a rental car, an experienced attorney can help you understand your options and negotiate on your behalf.

In summary, whether or not you can get a rental car after a rear-end crasht depends on the insurance policies involved and oftentimes who was at fault for the accident. It’s important to understand the limitations of your rental car coverage and keep records of your expenses.
