Car Accidents
If you have been injured in an accident, you have the legal right to seek monetary damages for your injuries. Personal injuries resulting from automobile, motorcycle, or truck accidents often cause significant physical, emotional, and financial damage because of someone's negligence. Florida laws exist in order to protect those injured in such accidents. To help preserve your rights, obtain assistance from knowledgeable car accident attorneys. The West Palm Beach Personal Injury Attorneys at Freeman & Mallard, L.L.C., will properly investigate and evaluate your claim in order to preserve the testimony of witnesses and evidence as necessary to preserve your rights and maximize your recovery for damages. Our job is to recover compensation for the pain and suffering that you have endured. We will also guide you through the property damage aspect of your claim and assist you in getting a rental car and/or your car repaired as soon as possible after the accident so you can return to your routine daily activities as soon as possible.
Some things to do after a Car, Motorcycle, or Auto Accident:
- Insist that a police report for car or motorcycle accident is filed.
- Document to the extent possible details regarding the car or motorcycle accident or the injury itself. Our accident attorneys and investigators need to be aware of all injury related details and any other losses (such as wages) you have suffered as a result of the accident, and any conversation you had with anyone involved in the accident.
- Talk to no one about your incident except one of our car accident lawyers.
Insist on getting proper identification from all parties involved. Don't talk to your own insurance company without notifying us so that we may discuss the claim with you before making any recorded statement. - Take photos of the car, motorcycle, or auto accident scene, with your cell phone or camera including any visible injuries and the other vehicles involved.
- Write down the contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident.
- Most important, seek immediate medical attention following a car, motorcycle, or auto accident. Make sure to be truthful with the doctor and describe each injury that you have as a result of the accident. Also tell the treating doctor about any prior injuries before the accident so that all of your past and future medical records are consistent.
During the time of an accident, it's imperative that you act quickly if you wish to receive fair compensation for your case. It is critical you contact an experienced personal injury lawyer who can guide you through your difficult times. Attempting to take matters into your own hands can be challenging and expensive, as well as a less rewarding settlement for the pain and suffering you or your family member endured.
