Florida Auto Accident Attorneys
If
you have been injured in an auto accident in Florida then you have come to the right place. This page will provide you with
valuable information and allow you to contact a Florida personal injury attorney to provide you with a free consultation.
Who was at fault?
Whether or not you were at fault in the auto accident
you have certain legal rights that you should consult with a personal injury attorney about.
If you were injured in a car accident even if you were at fault, you may qualify for a minimum of
$10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP). PIP insurance pays 80% of any medical expenses that are incurred by you as a
result of an accident, and pays 60% of your wage loss as a result of an accident.
If you were not at fault, you should contact a Florida personal injury lawyer to help you evaluate
you case and assist you with your claim. Your attorney can deal with the insurance companies to help you obtain additional
compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and more.
Do I have a good personal injury case?
In a personal injury case the injured party is called the plaintiff. In Florida, the Plaintiff has the burden of proof.
This means that you will have to prove you case in order to recover. There are three main issues that need to be proven in
order for you to be successful: liability, causation, and damages.
In order to have a case, there must be a third party who is liable to you. This depends upon what type of claim you
are bringing, and the facts of the case. In a personal injury case the liable person is the one who committed a negligent
action that caused your injuries.
In order to succeed
on a claim of negligence, the facts must clearly demonstrate: (1) negligence or failure to meet the standard of care; and
(2) that the negligence caused you harm or injury. However, liability and causation is only part of the picture.
The other part of the picture is damages. In order for you to have a good
personal injury case the harm or injuries you have suffered must be significant enough to justify the time, energy, and resources
required to bring a personal injury claim.
If you have
been involved in an auto accident in Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, Tallahassee,
Cape Coral, Port St. Lucie or anywhere else in Florida you should consult with a qualified attorney / lawyer about your case.
Your chances of success depend on the specific facts of your case. Without legal assistance, you may not be properly compensated
for your losses and injuries resulting from your auto accident.
