Car Repair Injury Lawyers

When you've been hurt in an accident caused by another party's negligence, you may have several different types of damage expenses. These can potentially be recovered through the legal system or by contacting your insurance company. However, there are other components associated with damage compensation or diminished value on your vehicle claim. These can get complicated, and a dedicated and experienced lawyer can better help you with this process. 

Getting Legal Help With Your Claim 

Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers are some of the first people you should contact after you recognize that your vehicle has major damages. You may assume that the insurance company will be there to protect your interests, but many people experience challenges in that process and discover that they benefit from hiring experienced Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers. It is often the case that you may not agree with your insurance company or the other party's insurance company when your vehicle has sustained damage, and your ability to fight for this compensation comes down to whether or not you find the right Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers.

  • What Happens After You File a Damage Claim?

    After your vehicle has been damaged in an accident, you will start the formal process for recovery by opening a damage claim. It may be the case that you and the insurance company do not agree on the total amount of compensation owed to you. Your insurance company may identify that the costs to repair your vehicle are greater than the value of the vehicle itself, in which case your car may be named as a total loss. In those circumstances, it's helpful to have Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers who have been through this situation before and understand some of the common pitfalls in recovering damage compensation. If you can show that another party was responsible for your injuries and that you may be entitled to further compensation after an accident, you should find Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers as soon as possible. 

    Diminished value is one type of compensation that you may be entitled to because your car will have a decreased value after it has gone through repairs. Even if a body shop or mechanic fully repairs your vehicle, it may be listed on the car's history that it went through a serious accident, and this can decrease a buyer's willingness to purchase it upon resale. 

    You may be able to gather evidence with the help of Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers like those at Morgan & Morgan, and your lawyer can use this evidence to argue for more compensation. There are many different complicated aspects of pursuing a damage claim, and the sooner you retain a lawyer, the easier it will be to understand how these different components may interact as you fight for compensation. 

  • Can I Choose My Own Repair Shop? 

    Car accidents are an all too frequent occurrence in Fort Myers. When these collisions happen, survivors often have to cope with treating their medical injuries as well as their damage claims. Finding Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers can be an important step to protecting a victim's right to recover maximum compensation. You may have sustained dents, scratches, or worse on your vehicle, and in those circumstances, you'll want to discuss how you can get maximum compensation for those damages to get them fixed. 

    Car accident victims in Fort Myers do have the right to choose their repair shop after an accident because there is no specific law blocking their ability to do so. However, your policy may include language that grants the right to choose a repair shop exclusively to your insurance company. They may provide more than one choice, but you may be responsible for going with an entity that has been approved by your insurance company. Read the specifics of your individual policy to know for sure whether or not this might impact you. 

  • What if I Don't Agree With a Diminished Value Valuation on My Claim? 

    There are several different circumstances where you do not agree with the insurance company about the value of your vehicle. Understanding how these insurance companies work and preparing your own claim with any relevant evidence is necessary for demonstrating the value of your vehicle before and after the accident. Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers can also help you with other components of your claim, such as taking before-and-after pictures and bringing in testimony from car dealers as to the value prior to and after the accident. 


    All of these factors can have a significant impact on your ability to recover maximum compensation. An attorney, who has been through this process before and is very familiar with all aspects of your legal claim, can be a huge help. With so many different things to think about, you deserve to have legal representation from an attorney who has helped guide people through the process of damage and injury compensation. Repairs for your vehicle may be only one form of compensation that you were entitled to after an accident. Meeting with an attorney shortly after the accident has happened gives you the opportunity to go through all of your actual damages, such as lost wages and medical bills, as well as to calculate potential future damages. All of this information can be used to help you file a lawsuit for recovery of compensation. Most people find themselves overwhelmed and in over their heads as it relates to dealing with all of the paperwork and communication required after a serious accident. One of the best ways to respond to this is to find Fort Myers car repair injury lawyers immediately after the accident has happened so that you can best educate yourself about your rights and the next steps you must take. There is a lot at stake for your future when it comes to recovering compensation and the sooner you identify an attorney the easier it will be for you to focus on the next chapter of your life.

  • What if I Miss the Statute of Limitations?

    In Florida, as in many other states, you must file your lawsuit promptly to protect your rights as a victim. These laws are in place to ensure that victims don’t pursue lawsuits many years or even decades after the initial accident happened. If you fail to bring your suit within the right time, there is nothing a personal injury lawyer can do to help you. In Florida, that time limit is set at only two years from the time of your accident. This is why you should plan to talk to an attorney early on in your case, even if you have not yet decided if you’re going to pursue a lawsuit.

    Getting clarity on your options is the only way to know for sure if this is the right path for you. 
    If you were recently injured and want to discuss whether you should file a legal claim, now is a good time to reach out to car repair injury lawyers in Florida. You can use the initial consultation as a chance to get your questions answered without any expectation that you’ll automatically file a lawsuit. The sooner you retain an attorney, however, the better. 

  • What Evidence Should I Keep?

    After your accident, the best rule of thumb is to keep track of all evidence associated with your vehicle damages, medical conditions, and anything else related to the accident, such as how much time you’ve missed at work. It’s also worthwhile to start a notebook of how your personal life has been affected. Are you no longer able to enjoy exercise because the pain is too severe? Have you developed anxiety and depression because of the accident? Is it difficult to care for your children because of your intense pain and mobility issues? Overall, your personal injury lawyer will help use all of these details to tell the story of how your accident has changed your life. You should always be prepared to keep your evidence organized and make copies, too, in case your lawyer needs something for court. 

  • Do We Have to Go to Trial?

    Most personal injury cases are resolved outside of court, meaning that you will unlikely have a jury verdict in your case. Insurance companies and other named parties might be interested in resolving outside of court because of the long timeline and uncertainty of verdicts in court. It is certainly the case, however, that some cases do end up going to trial. In those situations, you want an experienced car repair injury lawyer to handle your case.
