INJURED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT?
LET US HELP YOU
Auto accidents can happen to anyone and can result in serious injuries or even wrongful death. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of personal injuries in the United States. Every year, nearly 2 million people are injured in motor vehicle crashes, and Florida is among the states with the highest amount of motor vehicle-related deaths.
WHO IS AT FAULT FOR YOUR AUTO ACCIDENT?
Most auto accidents are caused by drivers who violate traffic laws and safety rules and can be easily prevented. However, proving who is at fault for an auto accident could be challenging.
Auto accidents can happen for multiple reasons, including careless driving, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, distracted driving, texting and driving, reckless driving, and others. At times, weather conditions and poor visibility may contribute to an auto accident. Auto accidents can also result from poorly designed or improperly maintained roads. Certain conditions like faulty barriers, inadequate or missing guard rails, improperly marked road hazards, and malfunctioning traffic control signals can also result in serious crashes.
In some cases, a defect in the manufacturing of a vehicle can cause an accident. Whether the defect involved the tires, brakes, seat belts, airbags, or engine, the manufacturer and other parties involved could be liable for your injuries and damages if the defect caused or contributed to your auto accident.
The experienced auto accident attorneys at Remudo Law Firm can help you identify the at-fault party or parties who caused or contributed to your auto accident.

STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT IN FLORIDA
Taking these steps after your car accident can help protect your health and your rights to compensation:
- Check to see if you are OK and safe. See if you or your passengers are injured. Make sure your car is in a secure location. Check your surroundings and see if others need help.
- Call 911. If anyone is injured or if there are serious damages to vehicles or property, call 911 right away. Emergency responders can begin treating those injured at the crash scene and, on occasion, promptly transport them for further urgent treatment that may be needed. Additionally, the police can gather evidence and prepare a crash report to record your crash.
- Get medical attention as soon as possible. Serious injuries typically require emergency medical attention. But even if, in the heat of the moment, it’s still important to get examined by a doctor as soon as possible. Internal injuries, soft tissue injuries, stiffness, and other injuries can develop slowly after the accident, and seemingly minor injuries can worsen. The initial medical report can serve as valuable evidence of the seriousness of your injuries. Additionally, you can preserve important coverage and benefits that may otherwise be lost if you do not seek medical attention in a timely fashion.
- Take pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words. If possible, take photos of the vehicles, your injuries, the accident scene, obstructions, skid marks, and anything else you think may be relevant. Note any surveillance cameras that may have recorded the incident at the scene. If any witnesses have a dash camera or recorded a video, ask them to send the footage to you. Photos and videos can serve as valuable evidence when pursuing a personal injury claim.
- Gather information. You should get the full name, contact information (telephone number, address, and email), license plate number, and insurance policy number of the other driver(s) and any witnesses.
- Write down what happened. As soon as you are able, write down everything you can remember about the accident. The more details you can provide about what happened, the better your chances of receiving compensation.
- Be careful with what you say. While it is natural to check on the well-being of everyone involved in the accident. Your good intentions should not be confused with an admission of fault. Just because you ask the other driver if they are fine, it does not mean that you are to blame for the crash. The fault should never be admitted or assumed until all the circumstances are fully and properly investigated. There may be factors that could have caused or contributed to the crash that you may be unaware of at first, such as a distracted driver, an obstruction on the road, a speeding car, or an improperly maintained vehicle. Try to stay calm and avoid escalating the situation.
- Keep copies of records and receipts. Keep a receipt for every expense related to your accident. Proper documentation is crucial to recover the costs of medical treatment, rental cars, vehicle repairs, medications, transportation to and from the doctor, and others.
- Do not speak with the insurance carrier for the other parties. The insurance company may contact you following the accident and ask you to provide a statement and/or sign documents. Your words and intentions may be misconstrued, and signing any settlements may jeopardize your interests and negatively affect your rights. Avoid providing statements, and do not sign any documents unless you consult your attorney and fully understand your rights.
- Call a lawyer. The insurance companies have lawyers, investigators, and other professionals looking after their interests, and you should have someone to protect you. Hiring an attorney early in the process can be beneficial for several reasons. A lawyer will deal with the insurance company on your behalf and can help you avoid mistakes that could hurt the value of your claim. An experienced Florida auto accident attorney can protect you from the insurance company, compile and submit all accident-related evidence, prepare a strong case on your behalf, and help you maximize your recovery by getting full and fair compensation for your injuries and damages. With an experienced advocate handling your claim, you can focus on your health and let your attorney deal with everything else to maximize your recovery.
