Florida roads can be busy with people commuting to work, exploring the beautiful scenery, and enjoying the weather. While many people drive daily, it requires acute attention and a responsibility to care for other drivers. Unfortunately, many people fail to follow traffic laws and drive safely, often causing accidents and serious injuries. 75,167 accidents have occurred in Florida so far this year, making them a common danger for drivers. If you have suffered injuries in a Plantation car accident, our experienced personal injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Scott Sobol can help.
In our years of experience, we have worked on all types of car accidents, giving us the tools and knowledge to take on your claim. Our compassionate team guides you through the complicated legal process and listens to your story. Based on the details of your claim and your unique needs, we create a customized plan to achieve the compensation you deserve. Our unmatched legal services and consistent communication allow you to focus on recovery and stay informed on your claim instead of worrying about handling the process alone.
Filing a Car Accident Claim?
Elements of a Plantation Car Accident Claim
No matter how simple your car accident claim seems, the process is often complex and challenging to handle on your own. Fortunately, our lawyers can help you manage every element of your claim to give you the best chance of achieving a fair settlement. These elements include the following:
Proving Fault
As the victim of someone else’s negligence, you are responsible for proving liability. To successfully do this, you must present evidence of the following points:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care
- They neglected this duty and drove irresponsibly
- Their negligence directly caused the accident and your injuries
- Your injuries resulted in damages
We can help you collect and analyze evidence to prove these points. Medical records, witness testimony, video footage, and police reports contribute to a strong claim and prevent insurance companies from assigning you an unfair portion of fault. Our lawyers have top-notch negotiation skills to help prove liability and secure a successful outcome.
Potentially Recoverable Damages
We understand the physical, emotional, and financial impact car accident injuries can have on your life. These losses deserve recognition, so we use our knowledge and experience to accurately calculate your claim’s worth, which may include the following costs:
- Current and future medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Ambulance ride fees
- Mental anguish
- Prescribed medications
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Reduced quality of life
- Disability or disfigurement
- Punitive damages
You may still recover damages even if you are partially responsible for the accident, thanks to the state’s pure comparative negligence system. Each party involved in the accident receives a percentage of fault, which gets deducted from their respective compensation. For instance, if you are 15% at fault, your damages get reduced by 15%. Our driven lawyers speak on your behalf to ensure you do not receive an unfair fault percentage so that you can recover full compensation.
Statute of Limitations
According to Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), car accident victims have four years to file their claims. While this may seem like a lot of time, it can be challenging to meet this deadline on your own while recovering. Our efficient lawyers can file your claim so that you can receive compensation as soon as possible. We allow you to take full advantage of your opportunity to protect your rights and hold the at-fault party accountable for their careless actions.
