When do you need a Miami car accident attorney?
After a car wreck, we know you need financial relief - and fast.
Most people don't realize the challenges faced in the aftermath of a serious accident until they're deep in the insurance claim process.
Most don't know what they are up against until it's too late.
The insurance companies can be ruthless in their efforts to minimize your settlement.
Florida law is complex: Florida uses a no-fault system for handling insurance claims in the state. The minimum limit in Florida is 10/20/10. Every driver is required to carry at least $10,000 of PIP personal injury protection insurance coverage which is obligated to pay 80% of your medical treatment bills and 60% of your lost wages. If you are seriously injured a personal injury lawyer may be able to help you seek to collect the money you need to cover all of your losses despite the coverage limit.
Handling difficult insurance companies: The insurance companies don't always agree to pay a fair settlement. The insurers have a variety of tactics they use to avoid paying out more than they have to. They may offer lowball settlements, deny claims, or delay proceedings to pressure you into accepting less than you deserve. Hiring a skilled attorney in Miami signals that your claim is serious. Our top-rated injury attorneys know their tricks and can help you obtain the best possible outcome.
Building a solid case: Collecting evidence, securing witness statements, and documenting medical costs are critical for a successful claim. If you have to sue to pursue a fair recover our legal team will handle the legal process and prepare strong a case, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery.
Expert negotiation and courtroom representation: Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance companies with the objective of reaching a quick and fair settlement to get you paid. The majority of accident injury cases settle without the need for going to court. If they refuse to offer a fair settlement for your injuries our trial attorneys are ready to present your case in the courtroom to force the financial recovery you deserve.
An experienced lawyer gives injured victims the best shot at recovering the compensation they're entitled to and navigating Miami's legal complexities successfully.

How Can A Miami Car Accident Attorney Help You Pursue A Fair Settlement?
In Florida, several factors can significantly impact your auto accident claim and the potential compensation you receive. Here are some key legal aspects to consider:
The Insurance Company: The insurance companies aren't likely to provide you fair compensation over what you went through. The insurance companies behave differently when handling personal injury claims, depending on the specifics of the case and the strategies they employ to minimize payouts. The insurers represent themselves and work to reduce what they have to pay, don't expect a fair payout without a fight.
Investigating What Happened: Your legal representation will help ensure you collect and secure the necessary evidence to build a strong case. Your attorney will gather evidence, including police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert testimony, to prepare your case and to document the other party's liability and the extent of your injuries.
Comparative Negligence: Florida is a pure comparative negligence state, meaning the state allows you to file a lawsuit to recover damages even if you are responsible for the crash, if the defendant contributed to your injuries. Accident victims in Florida are required to establish the proximate cause for their injury when filing lawsuits.
Statute of Limitations: In Miami, the statute of limitations for motor vehicle accidents is two years from the date of injury. You must take legal action or file a personal injury lawsuit within the deadline or risk losing your right to compensation. Your legal representation will ensure all paperwork is properly filed and all filing deadlines are met and help you navigate the complex legal process.
Courtroom Representation: The majority of personal injury claims settle pre-trial without the need to go to court. To take your case to court requires careful preparation and legal strategy. Not every law firm has the means or the experience to take a case to trial. The reputation of our plaintiff's attorneys for having a willingness to fight if necessary and the expertise to win puts the insurance companies on notice. We aren't afraid to take legal action if they refuse to pay.
