When you have been injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence or carelessness, the State of Florida allows you to collect compensation for current and future medical expenses, disability and disfigurement, rehabilitation, and more. But how do you know if the compensation you are offered is fair and adequate?
A car accident lawyer in Margate, FL from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will protect your rights and secure the maximum compensation available to support your recovery. Our Margate personal injury attorneys offer a free initial consultation to identify liable parties and plot the best path forward.
How to File a Car Accident Claim in Florida
There are two compensation options available to Margate car accident victims:
- File a claim with your personal injury protection (PIP) policy. Your insurance policy covers you regardless of who was at fault. However, this may not cover all of your losses, particularly if you have severe injuries and other losses not covered by your policy.
- File a lawsuit against the other driver in your crash. If you meet certain criteria and can prove the other driver was at least partially at fault for your collision, you can pursue compensation from that party.
When the negligence of another party causes you injury, we hold those responsible to account.
We Build a Case That Proves Negligence
Proving that the party responsible for your injuries owed you a duty of care and failed to uphold it is critical for the success of your case. Our dedicated team gathers evidence, documentation, and witness statements to build the strongest case possible. We work to establish that:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care.
- They breached that duty through an act of negligence.
- You suffered injuries in a car accident that stemmed from the breach.
- You suffered damages as a result.
