How an Orlando Rear-End Collisions Lawyer May Help
Florida’s insurance statutes require all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, according to Florida Statutes § 627.736. The first $10,000 for medical care, lost pay, and other related expenses are paid from your PIP no matter who caused the accident. This type of system is called “no-fault,” but that does not excuse or dismiss negligence by the other party.
In fact, you may still be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party. However, in many car accident cases, you will likely pursue awards for damages from the insurance company.
A rear-end collisions lawyer with Ben Crump Law, PLLC can help you in either situation by providing such services as:
- Review police reports, witness statements, photos and videos of the accident and damaged vehicles, and any other evidence or documentation related to liability.
- Secure testimony or statement from your healthcare provider about the nature and extent of your injuries, and your anticipated prognosis.
- Collect expenses and bills for special damages.
- Evaluate all damages, both economic and noneconomic.
- File, track, and manage your insurance claim.
You did not ask to be taken on this path of injury and financial loss, but you can choose a legal advocate to protect your rights. Please contact Ben Crump Law, PLLC today for a free case review.
