If you were injured in a side-impact collision, you could be facing both physical and financial stressors as a result of the accident. A Jacksonville side impact collisions lawyer can review the facts of your case to determine who can be held responsible for your economic and noneconomic damages. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we believe that motorists who take the time to drive safely should not be injured by another party’s negligence.
Should your case be successful, whether in or out of court, you may be able to recover the cost of:
- Past, present, and future medical bills
- Lost income
- Diminished earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Emotional trauma
- Disability
We work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning that if we cannot get compensation for you and your family, then you do not owe us our attorney’s fees. To get started with a free case review from a member of our Jacksonville car accident lawyers, call us today.
Side Impact Collisions Result in Injuries
Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that in 2018, over 15,000 people suffered incapacitating injuries as a result of being in automotive collisions. Right now, you could be suffering from ailments that prevent you from returning to your job or partaking in activities you once enjoyed.
Some of the injuries you may have sustained in the crash include:
- Broken and fractured bones
- Dismemberment
- Disfigurement
- Burns
- Cuts and lacerations
- Organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord trauma
Your Jacksonville side impact collisions lawyer will factor in the cost of your medical bills into the value of your claim. Additionally, they can consult with a third-party medical professional to gain further insight into how your injuries have affected your life.
Florida is a “No-Fault” State
Under Florida Statute §627.7407, Florida is a no-fault insurance state. This means that in the event of an accident, you would file your claim with your own insurance company rather than with the negligent driver’s insurer. All Florida motorists must carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, as mandated under Florida Statute §627.736. This means that all drivers must carry at least $10,000 in PIP coverage, which reimburses 80% of your medical bills and 60% of your lost wages. However, you must receive medical treatment for your injuries within 14 days of the accident to get these benefits.
If the cost of your damages exceeds your PIP coverage, you may be able to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Yet, this is only an option in certain situations. Your Jacksonville side impact collisions lawyer can review the details of your case to determine what course of legal action best suits your interests.
