Auto-Accidents in Florida

If you live in the state of Florida and you’ve been in an auto accident, the first thing you must always do is call an attorney. Never speak to the insurance company before you speak to an attorney.

Surveys have repeatedly shown that Florida has the worst drivers in the country. With about 17 million registered drivers on its interstates, highways, and byways, these drivers are issued millions of traffic tickets every year and are involved in over 395,000 crashes per year. Hundreds of drivers, passengers, and bystanders get injured every day due to a negligent driver. Were you injured by a negligent driver? Do you now have medical bills that need to be paid? Are you unable to go back to work due to your injuries? If you were injured in an auto accident due to a negligent driver, it is important that you contact an attorney immediately to help secure your right to just compensation.

Why you need an attorney for your case?

If you have been injured in an auto accident which you believe was caused by the negligence of another person, you may have a claim for compensation.

With so many personal injury attorneys to choose from, it is imperative that you retain an experienced, assertive, and dedicated attorney. Attorney Natlie G.

Why is the Statute of Limitations important?

After an auto-accident, there will be a lot of things on your mind. While you take the time to heal and tend to your injuries, please do not forget to contact an attorney. It’s very important that you do not delay pursuing your case because the law of statute of limitations does apply. The statute of limitations simply provides how much time you have to pursue a case. Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases gives you four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Florida’s civil courts.

What is Florida’s 14-Day Rule?

If you are a victim in an auto accident, it is crucial for you to understand and follow the 14-Day Rule. Failure to comply with the 14-Day Rule could cause major hurdles in filing your claim– or lose your right to compensation entirely. Under Florida’s 14-Day Rule, you must obtain medical care for injuries sustained in an auto accident within 14 days or else run the risk of your insurance company denying your claim.

What is Florida’s No-Fault Car Insurance Law?

Florida is one of several states that follow a “No-Fault Motor Vehicle Law”. This law requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection coverage as part of their auto insurance. That means injured drivers and passengers must typically turn to their own auto-insurance coverage first to get compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other out-of-pocket losses after a crash, regardless of who is at fault.
