Auto Accidents
Thousands of automobile accidents occur throughout the State of Florida every year. These accidents can cause serious permanent injuries and result in financial losses to those involved and their families. Such losses include medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering and impaired quality of life. Those losses can last for years.
Florida Law allows any individual injured by a negligent driver to recover economic damages for past and future medical bills and wage loss. Additionally, if the injuries are permanent, Florida Law allows the injured person to recover non-economic damages to compensate for human losses such as pain, suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life. Even though a monetary recovery can never fully eliminate the damage caused by a negligent driver, it can at least ease the financial burdens caused by their negligence.
Most automobile accidents involve two (2) or more insurance companies: One for the person injured by the accident, and one for each of the parties who caused the accident. Each of those insurance companies will require different types of information and documentation. This causes uncertainty for most people involved in automobile accidents because they do not know what information or documentation needs to be provided to the respective insurance companies or when that information or documentation needs to be provided. An experienced attorney will know what must be provided to the respective insurance companies, and when to provide it.
An individual injured in an automobile accident should get appropriate medical care and treatment as soon as possible. Doing so will allow the doctor to make an immediate assessment of all injuries, and prescribe a course of medical care and treatment to treat those injuries.
It is also important to make sure that a Police report is made concerning the auto accident, and that all information concerning witnesses and property damage is properly documented. This information will be vital to the case.
Most personal injury claims associated with automobile accidents are resolved through settlement or litigation. The Barker Law Firm has extensive experience in resolving personal injury claims through pre-suit settlement or through litigation.
