Being injured in a car accident you didn’t cause is a terrible – and expensive – life experience. The Florida Law Group’s Sarasota car accident lawyers can help you recover the money you deserve so you can move forward with your life.
If a careless or reckless driver hit you (either while you were driving another car, while you were crossing the street walking, or while you were riding your motorcycle or bicycle), you are legally entitled to pursue compensation for the costs of your injuries. Money can’t turn back time or heal what’s been broken, but recovering a settlement can ensure that the responsible driver is held accountable, that you don’t go into debt for an accident that wasn’t your fault, and that you are taken care of in every area of your life affected by the collision.
At The Florida Law Group, we have recovered over $1 billion dollars on behalf of our clients, the vast majority of whom are car accident victims! When you let us represent you, you get a team on your side who is dedicated to winning. We can explain what your case may be worth and fight to win that amount for you (even if that means going to court). Call us today to schedule a completely FREE consultation and learn more about your rights and options!
Why work with our Sarasota car accident lawyers?
The idea of working with attorneys may be an intimidating or foreign concept to you if you have never been injured in an accident, but having legal representation is in your best interests for a number of reasons!
Your PIP probably won’t cover enough.
Florida is a “no-fault” insurance state. That doesn’t mean that no one was at fault for the crash – the other person may very well have been, and there may be plenty of evidence to support that – it means that fault does not determine who pays the costs of the accident (at first). Every driver is required to carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, and required to go through that insurance first to receive benefits for car accident injuries.
However, PIP only covers 80% of emergency medical expenses and only $2,500 of non-emergency medical expenses. Whether or not your injuries are emergencies will be determined by your treating medical professionals, who you must be seen by within a 14 day window after the crash in order to qualify for benefits. PIP also only covers up to 60% of lost income.
Say your injuries (when everything is said and done) are going to cost you about $45,000 to treat. Even if they were considered emergencies, you’d still be left with almost $10,000 you have to pay out of your own pocket. If the accident wasn’t your fault, you shouldn’t pay a dime!
We protect you from lowball offers.
Your other option is to file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy, once you have sought PIP benefits, but insurance companies lose money when they make payouts to accident victims. They are likely to either deny you outright or attempt to devalue your claim in any way they can, but you may not realize that you are being lowballed! That’s where our experienced Sarasota car accident lawyers come in. We will investigate the accident, document your injuries, and accurately value your case. You may deserve compensation for things like:
- Ambulatory transport
- Emergency room care
- Intensive unit care
- Imaging tests (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, etc.)
- Blood work
- Surgeries
- Dental work
- Hospitalization
- Rehabilitation
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic care
- Medications
- Lost wages
- And more.
We take care of all the paperwork and communications for you.
The last thing you want to be doing when you’re in pain is calling insurance companies and sorting through documents. The Florida Law Group’s team will handle everything on your behalf so you can just focus on getting better, while we focus on getting you a settlement!
