How to Handle a Car Accident Claim

Many car accident claims are straightforward: a victim brings a case against the at-fault party and demands compensation. Things can get more complicated when losses are significant, when the involved parties dispute who was at fault, or when the person who caused the crash does not have driver’s insurance. In these situations, you want an attorney on your side to guide and represent you.

We can help with car accidents including:

  • Commercial vehicle crashes
  • Drunk driving accidents
  • Head-on collisions
  • High-speed crashes
  • Hit and runs
  • Multi-vehicle pileups
  • Rideshare (Uber & Lyft) accidents
  • Rollovers
  • Side-impact crashes
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist collisions

For all claims you must prove who was at fault, show how the accident caused your injuries, and what damages you have suffered. Our team can help with each of these steps, and everything in between.

Why Hire an Auto Accident Attorney?

An experienced car accident attorney can assist you in pursuing your legal rights and provide valuable guidance related to your case. We can negotiate on your behalf with insurance companies, build a strong case for settlement, file a lawsuit if needed, and represent you if the case goes to trial. Having experienced legal representation could make the difference between winning or losing a car accident case.

Hiring an auto accident attorney can be beneficial for several reasons:

  1. Legal Expertise: Auto accident attorneys have a deep understanding of personal injury law, insurance regulations, and legal procedures. They can navigate the complexities of your case, ensuring your rights are protected and maximizing your chances of receiving fair compensation.
  2. Investigation and Evidence Gathering: Attorneys can conduct thorough investigations into the accident, gathering evidence such as witness statements, accident reports, and medical records to build a strong case on your behalf.
  3. Negotiation Skills: Experienced attorneys are skilled negotiators who can engage with insurance companies and opposing parties to pursue a fair settlement. They know how to counter lowball offers and advocate for your best interests.
  4. Valuation of Damages: Auto accident attorneys can assess the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical needs. They work to ensure you receive adequate compensation for your losses.
  5. Litigation Representation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, attorneys are prepared to take your case to court. They will represent you during litigation, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and arguing your case before a judge and jury.
  6. Legal Guidance and Support: Dealing with the aftermath of an auto accident can be overwhelming. Attorneys provide valuable guidance and support throughout the legal process, answering your questions, addressing your concerns, and guiding you toward the best course of action.
  7. Contingency Fee Arrangement: Many auto accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay legal fees if they successfully recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows you to pursue justice without upfront costs or financial risk.

How Long Does a Car Accident Case Take to Settle in Florida?

The duration of a car accident case settlement in Florida can vary significantly depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the extent of injuries and damages, and the willingness of both parties to negotiate. Generally, straightforward cases where liability is clear and injuries are minor may settle relatively quickly, often within a few months to a year. However, more complex cases involving disputed liability, severe injuries, or multiple parties can take much longer, sometimes several years, especially if the case goes to trial. It's essential to consult with a qualified attorney experienced in handling car accident cases in Florida to get a better understanding of the timeline for your specific situation.

Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Cases in Florida

In most cases, car accident victims have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. A statute of limitations is a law that limits the time you have to pursue legal action. Attempting to pursue legal action after the statute of limitations has passed can be difficult and may not result in compensation for losses.
