Question:

What should I do if I was injured in a car accident in Southwest Florida?

Answer:

The initial steps you should take when you’re injured in a car accident in Florida are, first and foremost, to make sure that you’ve received medical attention. One thing that people don’t often realize is that in Florida, we have $10,000 PIP coverage or no-fault. That requires that you get treatment within 14 days. It’s very important for you to get that initial treatment as quickly as possible after the crash.

Secondly, if you are involved in a serious motor vehicle crash in Florida, it’s important to hire a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. That’s because you want to make sure that the attorney gets involved in the investigation aspects of the case and that the attorney handles any communications or conversations that happen with the insurance company, whether that’s your insurance company or that at-fault driver’s insurance company. Those are all very important things to remember. Then the attorney can help you through the process.

You want someone in your court fighting for you from the very beginning. That’s why it’s crucial to get an attorney involved as soon as possible. If you have questions about your injury claim, of course, we’re always here for you and happy to answer those questions.  We are always just a call or CLICK away!
