Have you been injured while you were driving or riding in a car or truck? If so, will you be financially compensated? How will your medical bills get paid?
As Florida Lawyers, we have experience in answering all of your questions if you have a motor vehicle accident in the State of Florida.
You are eligible to be awarded financial compensation, often called money damages, if you are permanently injured by the car crash. If you are permanently injured, you are entitled to demand compensation for your pain and suffering losses and for your medical bills, and for the amount of wages or salary you lost because you could not work while you are healing.
A permanent injury is plainly speaking, a physical condition or emotional trauma that has not completely healed even after you have received appropriate medical care. The amount of financial compensation or money damages awarded is influenced by your doctor’s diagnosis and opinions, the changes to your life created by your personal injury, and the amount of medical bills and your lost wages or salary. |

We all know medical care insurance is expensive. It is often difficult to obtain appropriate medical care. Our system in Florida for paying for medical care is needed because an automobile accident is through No-Fault motor vehicle insurance. All of us who register a motor vehicle in Florida must have a No-Fault insurance policy. This type of insurance pays for our own medical bills and the medical bills of family members who live with the owner of the insured vehicle. The medical bills of passengers may also be paid for by the No-Fault policy. |
|
| This medical bill payment benefit pays for the medical bill of anyone injured regardless who is at fault for causing the accident. Under this law, No-Fault pays eighty percent of the medical bills up to a maximum benefit of Ten Thousand Dollars. Lost wages are also reimbursed by the amount of sixty percent by a No-Fault policy, containing this benefit. The combined maximum benefit for medical bills and reimbursement of lost wages is Ten Thousand Dollars. The medical bills and lost wages that are not reimbursed by the No-Fault insurance is the legal responsibility of the party that caused the crash. The law in Florida is that you must have suffered a permanent injury to collect financial compensation for pain and suffering. You have the right to have only all of your medical bills reimbursed and all of your lost wages repaid if you did not cause or contribute to the accident, and you do not have a permanent condition. |

Once you have completed your medical treatment and we have gathered all the relevant proof, we will start the process of either negotiating an out of court settlement or starting a case in our Florida court system for you.
You will be counseled on the course of action that best suits your needs. Every offer of settlement presented to the other party is made only after consultation with you. Every financial offer made by the other side is presented to you for your approval or rejection.
Generally, an automobile insurance company represents the financial interests of the wrong doing party in a motor vehicle accident. Our attorneys have ample experience in dealing with automobile insurance companies. We understand how to effectively communicate with Adjusters so that we present your case in the best light that the facts of your personal injury insurance claim justify.
Under the appropriate circumstance, we will present your case in court to a jury. Our attorneys have jury trial experience to guide you through this process clearly communicating all important aspects of your claim to you and to a jury. Under Florida law, an injured person has FOUR YEARS from the date of the accident to start their court case or settle their claim out of court. After four years, the legal rights will be forfeited due to the passage of time. This rule of law is called the statute of limitations. If, a motor vehicle causes a death, the time for starting the court case is two years from the date of the victim’s passing. |
