Lighthouse Point Car Accident Lawyers

Close to the beautiful beaches of Florida, Lighthouse Point is a location that experiences more than its fair share of traffic. With locals and tourists sharing the roads, it’s a sad fact that accidents will happen here. With The Injury Firm, you have a reliable partner after a road accident has changed your life.

Impact of a Car Accident

For those who haven’t experienced a car accident, they often don’t understand that the difficulties extend well beyond the day of the accident itself. In truth, a car accident can lead to injuries that require extended periods in the hospital. With this, the victim is left with medical bills (which can potentially reach thousands). At the same time, they’re unable to work. Suddenly, income has stopped even though expenses have gone through the roof.

With this in mind, the help of Lighthouse Point car accident lawyers is essential. At The Injury Firm, we use our experience and knowledge as personal injury lawyers to get the compensation you deserve - the compensation that allows you to get better without having to worry about money.

Causes of Car Accidents

In Florida, a huge portion of car accidents are caused by negligence; it’s frustrating to think that most car accidents on the road could have been prevented. While some ignore the rules of the road and speed, others are distracted, drive too closely to the car in front, text and drive, drink and drive, or take to the wheel while tired. Elsewhere, we’ve all experienced impatient drivers who feel the need to take unnecessary risks.

Not all accidents are caused by negligence, and another concern for Floridians is the unpredictable weather. Of course, we also need to factor in the number of visitors to our wonderful state. In the first half of 2019, a record number of people visited Florida; close to 69 million. With a percentage of these visitors taking to the roads, despite being unfamiliar with layouts and US road laws (for international visitors), this causes problems.

If your accident was caused by negligence, and another road user is to blame, you may be entitled to compensation.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Not all accidents will warrant a personal injury lawyer, and this is true when there are no injuries present. Although the accident may be frustrating, Lighthouse Point car accident lawyers tend to help when there are injuries to the victim or severe damage to the vehicle.

If you think you need a lawyer, we urge you to get in contact right away. Getting in touch early isn’t just useful to prevent going past the statute of limitations, but also because you need to deal with the insurance adjuster calls that will inevitably come. Unfortunately, this is where many victims go wrong because the adjusters are trained to reduce the potential compensation amount as much as possible. If you say the wrong thing or get cornered in the interview, you may not receive the compensation you deserve.

Attorneys are helpful in any case, but our experience has particular value when the victim has severe disfigurement, broken bones, and temporary/permanent loss of the body. In these cases, it’s important to get the right legal support for compensation (and so that the guilty party is held accountable for their negligence).

Complex Cases - We also recommend hiring a lawyer when your case is more complex than a standard car accident. This includes:

• When you’re accused of negligence
• When an insurer tells you that you aren’t covered
• When an insurer wants to see your medical history
• When multiple vehicles were involved in the accident
• When the accident included a company vehicle or employee driver

In any of these cases, our lawyers at The Injury Firm will help you to navigate the tricky legal proceedings that may follow. We will keep your legal interests in mind at all times and work hard to ensure you get the best possible outcome.

Proving Liability and Obtaining Compensation

When making a traffic accident claim, we need to prove negligence and that the accident wasn’t your fault. The first step of proving a duty of care should be easy because all road users have a duty to everybody else to follow the rules of the road. From here, we need to prove that the guilty party was negligent and that this negligence caused the accident, and therefore your injuries. If successful, we can chase compensation for the following:

• Current medical bills
• Future medical bills
• Care costs
• Lost wages

Furthermore, some cases will also have a claim for pain and suffering. While the compensation amounts above will be a tangible amount, pain and suffering is slightly different; it’s considered non-economic damage. Essentially, this is compensation for being forced to go through this difficult time through no fault of your own. The Injury Firm will help to display pain and suffering in the traffic accident claim.

It’s sad, but insurance companies are never really on the victim’s side after a car accident. They only care about profit margins, and this means reducing the compensation amount as much as possible.

As well as making the claim, we have the resources to take a case to court too.
