- Don’t admit fault, and don’t even talk about the accident with the other party.

Auto Accident Injuries
There are many ways to get hurt in an auto accident, and some of them are life-altering. Common injuries can include:
- Facial cuts
- Injuries to legs and arms that require amputation
- Back and neck injuries requiring surgery
- Fractures
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Fatalities
You need a lawyer who understands what kind of compensation goes along with each type of injury so that you can win the amount that you need and deserve. An experienced law firm like Finnell, McGuinness, Nezami & Andux P.A. will fight for the maximum compensation you can get.
What Florida’s No-Fault Insurance Law Means For Your Claim
As you likely already know, Florida law requires all vehicle owners to carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance coverage of at least $10,000. After an accident, each driver’s PIP policy pays for the costs of treating their injuries (up to policy limits), without regard to who was at fault. If you want to pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for more than PIP limits, your injuries must be considered “serious” under Florida law. Our attorneys understand these statutes inside and out, and we’ll help you evaluate all of your legal options.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
You may as well know from the beginning that the auto insurance companies are not on your side and will initially offer you a settlement that is less than what you deserve. That is why it’s smart to hire a lawyer. Don’t get wrapped up in conversation with anyone from the insurance company, because their agenda is to deny your claim or settle for as little as possible. Call an attorney who’s really on your side, and let them deal with the insurance companies. You’ll be glad you did.
