Even if you are unsure who was at fault for your accident, it is important to contact an attorney immediately after an accident
The Law Office of Elizabeth Mnayarji-Singh represents people injured in vehicle collisions caused by someone else’s negligence. This involves the coordination of a broad range of legal issues, which include establishing fault, proving damages, and assisting with insurance benefits such as no-fault coverage, health insurance, liability insurance, and uninsured motorist coverage.
Hurt in a Car Crash?
In Florida, all drivers are required to carry a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance that will cover up to 80% of their injuries and 60% of lost wages in the event of an accident, regardless of fault. These regulations were enacted in an attempt to reduce the number of crash-related lawsuits filed by Florida residents, as well as to lower insurance rates. Unfortunately, for many injured drivers, this coverage may not be enough to cover the total cost of their medical bills and lost wages, and will not account for property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages. In addition, many motorists who carry this insurance may be barred from filing lawsuits in the event that another’s negligence leads to a crash.
Even if you are unsure who was at fault for your accident, it is important to contact an attorney immediately after an accident, as you will only have a certain amount of time to file a claim with your insurance company.
