Involved In A Car Accident? You Need Help.

What To Do After A Car Accident
Insurance companies will assign an adjuster who will work on behalf of the at-fault driver to settle your personal injury case, offering you the lowest compensation possible. To ensure you get the maximum compensation possible, it’s important that your injuries are documented properly.
Preserving evidence is essential. It starts immediately after the accident. Here are some things you can do to help.
- Take photos of the damaged vehicles
- Video the scene of the accident
- Take down the names of witnesses and their phone numbers
Immediately following an accident, you should seek medical treatment; not doing so will bar you from making a claim against your insurance for your personal injury protection benefits. You must seek treatment within 14 days of the auto accident from either a hospital facility, emergency transport, a medical doctor, a doctor of osteopathy, a chiropractor or a dentist.
Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Accidents
After being involved in a car accident, it is essential to understand the nuances of the legal process to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. As an experienced attorney, Sasha has taken the time to answer some common questions that our clients often ask, providing valuable insights into the complexities of car accident cases in Florida.
Is Florida a no-fault law state?
Florida is indeed a no-fault law state, which means that regardless of who is at fault, each driver’s insurance company will cover their respective damages and medical expenses up to the policy limits. However, if the injuries are severe or the damages exceed the policy limits, the at-fault driver may be held liable for the excess amounts.
What happens if more than one person is at fault?
In cases where multiple parties are at fault, the concept of comparative negligence applies. This means that the fault is apportioned among the parties involved, and each party’s degree of fault is determined. The amount of compensation awarded will be reduced in proportion to the plaintiff’s degree of fault.
How are damages and losses calculated in a car accident case in Florida?
The calculation of losses and damages in a Florida car accident case involves considering various factors, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The goal is to determine the total value of the damages suffered and to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.
What is personal injury protection (PIP) and how does it work in Florida?
Personal injury protection (PIP) is a type of insurance coverage that is mandatory in Florida. It provides coverage for lost wages and medical expenses, no matter who caused the accident. PIP coverage is designed to ensure that accident victims receive immediate medical care and compensation for their losses without delay.
What if the other driver involved in the accident is uninsured or underinsured?
If the other driver involved in the accident is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation for your damages. You can file a claim with your own insurance company under the uninsured/underinsured motorist provision, or you can pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.
