If you were in a car accident – whether it’s on State Road 434 or in the Alafaya Village parking lot – and the other driver doesn’t have insurance, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and not know where to turn. You may still have options for seeking compensation, though.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine is familiar with the legal landscape in Orange County. We can provide an Alafaya uninsured car accident lawyer to pursue the awards that you deserve.
Uninsured Motorists are Generally Liable for Harm That They Cause
Florida has the sixth-highest rate of uninsured motorists in the nation, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III). You are not the first victim of an uninsured motorist in Florida, and firms like ours understand how to seek justice when a driver lacks insurance.
An uninsured motorist who caused your accident may have been negligent because:
- They disobeyed Florida’s requirement that all motorists have insurance.
- They failed to ensure that victims of their negligence would have adequate insurance coverage.
- They acted in a way that was not reasonable, which is the standard for negligence.
This negligence is even more glaring when the uninsured motorist causes an accident. Though the driver’s own insurance cannot cover your losses, you generally have other options for seeking compensation.
We will Determine Whether Your Own Insurance Covers Your Losses
Florida is a no-fault state, which means that your own insurance will cover certain losses regardless of who caused your collision. You will have coverage limits, though. Once your losses surpass those coverage limits, we will consider filing a lawsuit to obtain coverage for all of your losses.
Awards That You May Receive for a Collision with an Uninsured Motorist
We may recover awards for all of your accident-related losses, including:
Repairs for Your Vehicle
Both insurance and lawsuits generally cover accident victims’ vehicle repairs. You may require the complete replacement of your vehicle. If any personal property suffered damage during your accident, then you may receive awards to repair or replace that property.
Past and Anticipated Medical Expenses
Another loss that is generally covered through insurance, your medical care may entitle you to compensation. A lawsuit may provide full coverage for X-rays and other medical imaging, surgery, hospitalization, medication, and any other care that you require. You may also receive awards for your rehabilitation.
Lost Income and Earning Power
You may receive compensation for:
- Lost wages
- Lost earning power
- Lost productivity
- Lost opportunity for promotion or other career opportunities
If your return to work is uncertain, then we can project the income that you will continue to lose in the future.
Pain and Suffering
You may have diminished quality of life and various forms of trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after your accident, and you might be able to receive compensation for this hardship. Your financial recovery may also cover the cost of treatment. Per Mayo Clinic, treatment for PTSD may include:
- Medication
- Behavioral modification
- Psychotherapy
The cost of these and any other necessary treatments may be part of your financial recovery. An uninsured car accident lawyer from our team will pursue the awards that you deserve. Let the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine handle your case in Alafaya. You worry about getting better. We take care of everything else.
