What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:

  1. Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
  2. ​Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
  3. ​Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
  4. Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.

The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact our experienced Florida Personal Injury Lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.

Motorcycle Accidents in Florida

In Florida, motorcyclists are not required to carry insurance to register or even ride a motorcycle. This can leave them in a very vulnerable position if they get into an accident, especially involving another vehicle.

People in passenger vehicles are surrounded by a steel frame, seat belt restraint systems, and airbags, while motorcyclists are exposed to more hazards on the open road. Even when a motorcyclist is driving safely and cautiously, an accident can occur due to no fault of the motorcyclist. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accidents involve the following:

  • Side Swipes
  • ​T-Bone Collisions
  • ​Debris in the Road
  • ​Poor Road Conditions
  • ​Blind Spot Accidents
  • ​Excessive Speed Accidents
  • Left Turn Collisions
  • ​Rear End Accidents
  • ​Single Motorcycle Accidents
  • ​Drunk Driving Accidents
  • ​Failure to Yield Accidents

Uber, Lyft, and Rideshare Accidents

Recovering compensation for a ridesharing accident claim can be very complicated. This is mainly because rideshare companies classify their drivers as independent contractors. Therefore, the rideshare companies cannot be held directly liable for an accident caused by their driver. This doesn’t mean that you can’t recover compensation. Our experienced rideshare accident lawyers will help you explore different options for recovering compensation for your accident.

In Florida, ridesharing apps must purchase insurance covering their drivers. This insurance policy protects victims of rideshare accidents in the event of an accident caused by the rideshare driver. However, the availability of this policy depends on the status of the rideshare driver at the time of the accident. For example, if the driver of the rideshare vehicle was logged into the app and carrying a passenger at the time of the accident the rideshare app’s insurance policy would cover the accident, however, if the driver was logged in but not carrying a passenger only a minimum liability coverage applies. Contact our attorneys today for a FREE case evaluation to see what you can recover.

Truck (Commercial Vehicle) Accidents

While the most common vehicles are pickup trucks and SUVs, which can do plenty of damage, the larger commercial vehicles often cause the most severe injuries, this is due to the larger nature, and heavier weight-load of the 18-wheeler. This often means that the injuries that can arise from trucking accidents are harder to deal with than usual. Trucking accidents can happen for a number of reasons. The root of many of these Commercial Vehicle Accidents stems from Reckless Operation, Driver fatigue, Lack of Truck Maintenance, Violating Truck Regulations, Improper Truck Maintenance, and more.

Florida Modified Comparative Negligence

Under the new modified comparative negligence system in Florida, individuals will be barred from compensation recovery if they are more than 50% responsible for causing their own injuries.

We can help you recover the maximum compensation that you are entitled to. This can be used to help pay for lost wages, medical bills and any pain and suffering you may have experienced as a result of the accident.
