Fort Lauderdale Accident Attorneys

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor. Eleanor Roosevelt

We work hard to have a nice life and provide for ourselves and our families and we do our best to stay safe at home, at work, and on the road. But sometimes life takes a turn for the worse, and we become confused about what to do. Certainly the past few months have been stressful for everyone, and no one saw it coming, but many of us are starting to see a return to normal.

Life can change in an instant.

Car accidents fall into the category of sudden changes. There is nothing good about them, the minimum result is stress and car damage and at the other end of the spectrum are painful serious injuries. But the good news is that with some solid advice and experienced help you can navigate through the experience of being in an auto accident with reduced turbulence and financial turmoil.

What Happens After a Car Accident?

1. First there is an investigation if the accident is serious. It’s important to make sure you and everyone else receives medical care if needed. It is also important to remain calm and cooperate with the authorities while not talking too much. Answer questions truthfully and as accurately as possible at the scene but never speculate or admit any guilt. The time for assigning fault comes later when the facts are more clear.
2. Call an attorney and notify your insurance company. An experienced accident injury attorney will immediately start to protect your rights regarding medical treatment and damages to your vehicle. Insurance companies love to collect premiums but they are not always as attentive to payment for damages. Your lawyer will make sure you’re getting the care you deserve.
3. It will take a little time for your attorney to sort out the facts from the crash, the extent of injuries, insurance coverage, and other issues. While this is going on the best thing for you to do is remain calm, stay available, and don’t talk about the accident with others. Definitely do not post on social media about the accident, it’s just not a good idea to do so. The advantage of having an attorney is that you can focus on you, your family, and your life. The attorney does all the work.
4. Every case is different. Some are settled rather quickly and some take a little longer. Some cases need negotiations with insurance companies and some need to go to court.
