Under Florida Law, you must seek medical assistance within 14 days of the accident to seek compensation for injuries.
With offices in Deland and Daytona Beach, we’ve represented clients throughout Central Florida for over 18 years.
Since Florida is considered a “no-fault” state meaning that each insurance company resolves their own claims regardless of which driver technically caused the automobile accident, you’re probably wondering why you would need a car accident lawyer when both drivers are insured. There are quite a few reasons: First, the major medical coverage on your auto policy may not cover the entire cost of your medical bills. Also, your private insurance may have a high deductible that will come out of your pocket. Second, your insurance probably won’t cover any lost wages while you recuperate from your injuries. This means you will be dipping into savings to pay your bills while you are recovering. Third, your insurance may not adequately cover any other type of long term care you may need in the future.
But an aggressive personal injury lawyer doesn’t just handle cases involving car accidents. If you have been hurt through the negligence of another, we may be able to help. Upon reviewing your individual case, we will be able to determine whether or not you have a case, and if so, our recommended course of action. Although many cases are resolved through negotiation, we are prepared to fight for your rights in court every step of the way.
