Our Process

  1. Documentation

    First, your assigned legal team will gather records related to your claim, including medical records, medical bills, and insurance policy information.

    These documents will help your attorney understand the extent of your injury, and build your case for compensation.

  2. Investigation

    Your attorney and legal staff will investigate your accident in great detail to gather the necessary evidence.

    They may look at dashcam footage, security camera footage, police records, and more to help build your case.

  3. Negotiation

    Your attorney will negotiate with the defense, outside of the courtroom, to help get you the compensation you may be entitled to.

    If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, your attorney is prepared to go to trial and present your case in the strongest possible form.

FAQs

Challenges of Florida Auto Insurance Law

Unlike most states in the country, Florida law does not specifically require that owners of motor vehicles maintain insurance coverage to pay when their negligent operation of a vehicle causes injury to another driver, passenger, or pedestrian. Fortunately, as a practical matter, most Florida auto owners do maintain this type of insurance, called bodily injury liability (BIL).
Nevertheless, the number of drivers in Florida without BIL insurance is perhaps higher than it would otherwise be if such coverage were mandatory. Further, even drivers who do carry BIL may have insufficient coverage in the case of serious injuries.
Orlando drivers can protect themselves and their families from drivers without BIL coverage or drivers with low limits in the case of a crash by purchasing uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage through their own insurance companies.
This type of coverage is particularly important to those involved in motor vehicle wrecks in Florida because it allows your own insurance company to step in and pay for the losses you sustained for which the liable driver lacks the insurance and financial resources to compensate you.

How an Auto Accident Attorney Can Help

It may come as a surprise, but if you are seriously injured in an automobile accident, even if the other driver was clearly at fault, you likely still have a fight ahead of you to recover the compensation you deserve.
You cannot rely on the other driver's insurance company – or your own insurance company in the case of claims made under UM and UIM coverage – to place a fair value on your claim without a fight.
In fact, insurance companies will do everything they can to reduce your claim, including minimizing your injuries, claiming they were preexisting or caused by something other than the crash, claiming the treatment you received was unreasonably extensive, or even claiming that you are exaggerating or fabricating your symptoms.
This is why anyone seriously injured in an wreck should seek the assistance of an experienced and aggressive attorney, no matter how clear the other driver's fault was and not matter how seemingly undeniable the injuries and losses.
