We Handle The Insurance Company For You
A strong case makes it challenging for the insurance company to lowball you in settlement negotiations. However, this is not the end of the battle. Insurers have an arsenal of tools they use to get you to agree to the lowest possible settlement.
Stalling tactics such as not responding to your calls or dragging out a claim is a means to get you to settle for anything out of sheer frustration. Our attorneys will protect your rights and ensure you are being treated fairly through the legal process while getting things moving along.
Requesting access to your medical records and asking for statements are other defensive strategies insurance companies use. You could unwittingly say something that harms your case in a statement, or your medical records could be used against you.
In this instance, you can refer the insurance company to the statement you gave to the police. You are also within your rights to deny insurers access to your medical history. Better still, consider hiring our attorneys to handle all communications with the insurer on your behalf. We know how to deal with insurance companies and what information to release to them.
Whether You Want To Negotiate Or Litigate, Evidence Is Key
Florida follows a no-fault law for car accidents (Florida Statute § 627.7407), meaning you can collect up to $10,000 in damages under your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy. If your damages exceed that amount, you can seek compensation from the insurance company of the person who caused your accident.
Consulting with a Palm Coast car accident attorney is a wise decision when seeking a financial settlement. One of our first priorities will be to obtain all evidence related to your accident. Strong evidence allows us to build a compelling case, which in turn strengthens our ability to negotiate a higher settlement on your behalf.
The mere threat of filing a costly lawsuit can often result in a higher settlement offer from an insurance company, especially in the face of strong evidence establishing how the accident happened and who was at fault. If we are unable to reach a fair settlement, we can take your case to court to allow a jury to weigh the evidence and decide the outcome for themselves.
Types Of Evidence We Use To Prove Your Case
The burden of proof rests with the accident victim to show the other driver caused their injuries. Our attorneys rely on physical and circumstantial evidence when building a case to support your car accident claim. Physical evidence can include:
- Medical records
- Witness statements
- Photographs taken at the scene
- The accident report from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Department
- Other documents, such as driving records
- Expert testimony
- Your written narrative of the accident and how it has affected your life
While circumstantial evidence may not directly prove fault, it can help to support your claim. An example of circumstantial evidence could be the cell phone records of an at-fault driver demonstrating a text was sent at the exact time of the accident. In this instance, our Palm Coast auto accident lawyers could issue a subpoena for the driver’s phone records to use as evidence supporting your case.
Evidence Of The Serious Nature Of Your Injuries
The Palm Coast accident attorneys on our team can review all your medical records and interview doctors, nurses, and physical therapists who can testify about the high cost of your medical treatment. We prepare financial reports to prove how much the accident has cost you in lost income and out-of-pocket expenses.
This is why it is so important to see a medical professional as soon as possible after your accident, even if you are not sure whether you are badly hurt. If you try to tough it out and end up needing medical care later, it will be harder to connect the costs of that care to the accident that caused your injuries.
We Identify All Potential Liable Parties
While most people assume the other driver is the only liable party, that is not always the case. We will investigate to determine whether another party’s negligence caused or contributed to the crash. Those parties could include:
- The owner of the car
- Municipalities that fail to design or maintain safe roads
- Vehicle manufacturers producing faulty parts or safety features that do not work
In some cases, multiple parties can be held liable for an accident. While this gives you several potential options for compensation, it can complicate the process. Our lawyers carefully examine the facts of your case, evaluate every potential option for financial recovery, and build robust cases against all parties.
What To Do After An Accident
A car accident is often a terrifying experience. You may be confused about where to turn or what to do next. Handling the following tasks can help you focus and protect your health and right to fair compensation:
- Call 9-1-1. Have the dispatcher send out law enforcement and paramedics. Get the medical care you need.
- Take photos of your injuries and the scene.
- Get eyewitness contact information. Your attorney can interview them about the accident.
- Do not give a recorded statement. An insurance adjuster will likely call you soon after the accident to get your side of the story. They want to use whatever you say against you and your claim.
- Do not accept a settlement without running it by our team first. The first offer is usually much lower than you deserve. If you accept the offer, you can’t ask for more later. Our team will negotiate for what you need.
