Why Do I Need the Best Stuart Accident Lawyer?

Car accidents can leave victims with devastating injuries and extensive property damage. Florida law does allow you to recover financial compensation for an accident, if you can establish that your accident was caused by another driver’s negligence. Establishing liability for a car accident can often be difficult without an injury lawyer’s help, though. When liability is unclear, it may be necessary for an experienced car accident attorney to conduct an investigation on your behalf in order for your case to be successful. Our lawyers will collect any and all evidence required to facilitate your case, including medical records, police reports, and eyewitness testimony.

Another major reason to obtain legal representation after an accident is that you may need someone to negotiate with insurance companies.

Insurers may try to arrange a quick settlement that minimizes the amount of compensation you are entitled to, or they may deny your claim outright. Insurance companies may try and obtain a statement from you or ask certain questions hoping that you inadvertently admit fault. Your statements, while truthful, may nonetheless have serious repercussions and jeopardize your ability to obtain full compensation and damages in your case. A personal injury attorney can handle all communications with insurance agents on your behalf to ensure you don’t accidentally harm your case or accept a low-ball settlement.  Local accidents occurring in Martin County should be handled by local car accident lawyers.  The accident attorneys at The Law Offices of David Golden, P.A. know the roadways of Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Indiantown, and Jupiter, all to well.  We know the Law Enforcement Officers in the area, many of the medical professionals, and enjoy an established and respected working relationship with the court personnel.

Determining Liability in Your Auto Accident Claim

Florida is considered a no-fault state as it relates to liability in car accidents.

Drivers that cause a collision may mistakenly believe that because Florida is a no-fault state, they can’t be sued for injuries they cause in an accident. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every motorist is required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage at a minimum of $10,000 in the state of Florida. This insurance covers medical bills and lost wages due to an accident, no matter who is at fault. However, PIP only covers 80% of medical costs incurred and 60% of lost wages or income.

For this reason, you need an attorney to negotiate for any costs that are left after the insurance company pays out. You can pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages for your car accident injuries, as well as punitive damages. The court can grant you compensation for medical costs (past, present, and future), out of pocket medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, emotional distress, permanent disfigurement or disability, and pain and suffering that was caused by your motor vehicle accident.
