Motorists Acting Recklessly Results in Injuries for Others
If you sustained a serious injury in a motor vehicle collision, consider that many accidents stem from a driver who acts in a dangerous manner. Ways that a driver may act negligently include:
- Speeding
- Driving drunk
- Driving while on drugs
- Changing lanes abruptly
- Failing to stop at a red light
- Tailgating
- Engaging in distracted driving, such as texting, making a phone call, eating, drinking, or fiddling with the entertainment system
The examples below are a few ways that drivers put others at risk. Often these actions lead to others being seriously injured and even killed. If your injuries resulted from a driver’s reckless actions, a car accident lawyer in Orange Park, FL wants to help you build a case.

Our team at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine goes the extra mile for our clients. We will assist you by:
- Documenting your account of what happened.
- Speaking with medical professionals to document the extent of your injuries and how they will impact your ability to earn an income.

- Interviewing witnesses, including those who can attest that the liable party was engaging in dangerous driving behavior.
- Handling all legal aspects of pursuing damages, from our initial meeting to the completion of a judgment or settlement.

Damages You May Be Entitled to in a Car Accident Negligence Claim
If a jury finds the liable party in your accident at fault for your injuries, or the defendant agrees to a settlement, you could be entitled to damages covering:
- The cost of emergency transportation.
- Your medical bills in the immediate wake of the accident.
- The cost of any long-term rehabilitation necessitated by your injuries.
- Lost wages due to your injuries.
- Pain and suffering incurred by the trauma of the accident
These are just a few broadly defined damages, and the details of your case may entitle you to further damages. If you are found partially at fault for the car accident, you can still collect damages according to Florida Statute- Comparative Fault.
Do Not Wait to Call a Car Accident Lawyer in Orange Park, FL
Your ability to bring legal action is subject to a time limit, known as the statute of limitations. In Florida, those bringing a personal injury claim must do so no later than four years from the date of the accident. Those bringing a wrongful death claim generally have two years from the date of the accident to do so.
There are exceptions to these statutes, so call regardless of the time that has passed since your accident. However, the sooner you call a lawyer, the sooner you may be able to collect damages.
