Accident Injury Case: Settlement or Trial – Fort Lauderdale Attorneys Lazarus and Lazarus

There are a lot of injuries occurring on South Florida roads every year due to crashes and one day you may involved in one yourself so you should be prepared with some facts.

How many crashes?

In 2017:
Florida Traffic Crashes

As you can see from the info-graphic, South Florida contributes more than our fair share to the dilemma of crashes and injuries to the statewide statistics.

What happens when people are injured in serious crashes? They are often transported to a hospital and the process of physical healing begins. But the trauma of a serious crash often necessitates professional assistance to recover mentally, emotionally, and financially.

If you have never been in a serious crash you probably won’t understand just how serious the overall damage can be.

Insurance companies are usually involved after a crash, and after paying premiums faithfully for many years people depend on them for financial help. Sometimes that help comes and sometimes it does not, but often it is insufficient to truly replace what was lost and to cover all the bills that must be paid for a full recovery.

That is where an experienced attorney can really help. An attorney who is committed to your total recovery will be able to make sure you receive the help needed not only for immediate expenses but for possible long-term therapy, doctor visits, follow-up surgery or other procedures, and prescription medication.

It’s always a good idea to ask for professional advice before signing a settlement agreement. Some insurance companies simply will not do what is right and pay the amount that is fair. When that happens we are fully prepared to move all the way to a trial, a right that is guaranteed to every citizen by our United States Constitution.

Insurance companies often count on the fact that many people will settle for a quick offer of money, but victims may not understand that their case is actually worth a substantially larger settlement due to the severity of the circumstances. As attorneys who have represented hundreds of crash victims over the past 27 years, we understand how to approach discussions and negotiations with insurance companies. And we know how to get results.
