Car Accidents

Car AccidentsThe roads, streets, highways, expressways, interstates freeways, and toll roads are filled with literally millions of drivers and passengers on a daily basis in the State of Florida. The aftermath of a Jacksonville car accident can be quite challenging for the injury victim and the family. There is stress, pain, suffering, and the loss of enjoyment of life associated with the physical, mental, and economic injuries / damages. Let's face it. Life is complicated enough as to the day-to-day grind. When there are personal injuries, life gets even more complicated and stressful. Following a Jacksonville car accident, there are resources available to injury victims; however, there is no recipe book or simple diagram to follow. Keep this in mind. Every case involving a personal injury should be evaluated and handled based on the merits and the unique facts and circumstances of the case or claim. There is no "one-size fits all" approach to the handling of a personal injury case. There are, however, common questions that arise. These include the following:

  • Should I seek medical treatment for personal injuries suffered in an automobile accident?
  • Where should I seek medical treatment?
  • Should I visit a local hospital emergency room?
  • Should I set up an appointment with my primary care doctor
  • Should I contact a personal injury attorney?
  • Should I give a statement to my automobile insurance?
  • Should I give a statement to the other driver's automobile insurance company?
  • Should I take photographs of the property damage to my vehicle?
  • Should I take photographs of the property damage to the other driver's vehicle?
  • Should I contact my automobile insurance company?
  • Should I contact my automobile insurance agent?
  • Will the accident affect my insurance rates and premiums?

There are literally hundreds of questions that arise in the aftermath of a car accident. Because of the complexities of insurance, medical care, and the multitude of legal issues that arise, it is important for an injury victim to get advice, consultation, and legal representation from an experienced Jacksonville car accident lawyer. Certainly, there are many attorneys out there handling personal injury cases. Many such attorneys rely on legal assistants, paralegals, case managers, and young associates to handle the calls and cases up front and even throughout the duration of the case.

Statement to Automobile Insurance Company

Following an automobile accident, there are many challenges and stresses presented to the injury victim. One such challenge or stress is dealing with one or more automobile insurance companies. It should be noted that insurance companies do not provide legal representation or legal advice to injury victims. In most instances, even the injury victim's own insurance company has interests that are adverse to those of the injury victim. For instance, the victim's own insurance company may question or limit the payment of medical bills, compensation for wage loss, compensation for pain and suffering, and other requests or demands of the injury victim. Insurance companies are well staffed and well supported by insurance adjusters, insurance agents, investigators, risk managers, and, yes, attorneys. It only makes sense for the injury victim to have an attorney in place to protect and enforce the legal rights of the injury victim.

In most automobile accident cases, the automobile insurance company for each carrier will request the recorded or unrecorded statement of the injury victim. For some statements, the injury victim has a contractual obligation to provide a statement and otherwise cooperate. For other statements, it is purely optional as to whether a statement is provided. An injury victim should have a Jacksonville car accident lawyer in place as soon as possible to provide advice, guidance, and legal representation as to the statements requested and / or conducted by the automobile insurance company. It should be noted that the insurance adjuster is collecting information in the claim file that may end up being used against the injury victim during the claims process or the pendency of the legal case. Because of this, the injury victim should have a car accident attorney in place to prepare and protect the injury victim.
