We can provide you with support and assistance while handling your claim. The benefits of hiring a car accident lawyer from our firm include:

- Complete and file paperwork. Accident cases can require filling out and filing lots of paperwork. Our team can handle the paperwork and file with the appropriate courts, so you don’t have to.
- Follow timelines. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), you have four years to file a lawsuit from the date of the collision.

What Damages Can I Include in My Claim?
Being in a car accident can be traumatic mentally, emotionally, and physically. We understand how a car accident can affect you, and that’s why we are dedicated to taking care of the legal aspects of your case so you can focus on healing and recovering from your injuries.
A personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can help determine the losses you have experienced as a result of the accident.
Lost Or Reduced Income
Being involved in an accident can prevent you from working as a result of injuries you sustained. Whether it is short or long-term, this can affect your income and your benefits, adding additional stress to your situation. Talking with a lawyer from our team will help determine if adding this loss to your claim is appropriate for your situation.
Medical Expenses
Arm and leg injuries can range in severity and complexity, affecting your life in different ways. Some common injuries are fractures, dislocation of joints, nerve problems, and amputation. Some injuries may not require as much medical attention, while others are more severe, requiring ongoing treatments such as surgery, rehabilitation, and medications.
It is important to seek compensation to cover the costs of the treatment you need in order to recover. Knowing your rights and legal options in regard to medical claims can be complex. You’ll want to know the full extent of your injuries, the treatment needed, and how they will affect you now and in the future, so you don’t accept a settlement offer that is ultimately insufficient for your needs.
Disability
Trauma from a car accident can cause physical, mental, or emotional disabilities, leaving you with temporary or permanent symptoms. Such as:
- Nerve damage. This can affect how your body communicates together, resulting in trouble walking or moving your body.
- Amputation. The loss of a finger, toe, hand, foot, arm,d or leg can have a significant impact on how you move, work and maintain your independence.
- Emotional distress and trauma. Being involved in an accident can bring on significant emotional distress impacting many aspects of your daily life.
Dealing with a disability may require a multidisciplinary approach involving rehabilitation from different providers, including medicine and ongoing procedures. A disability may also result in a need to make changes to your home to accommodate your needs. A lawyer can determine if you are eligible to add these damages to your claim.
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering can refer to the physical pain you are experiencing as a result of the accident, or discomfort from medical treatment. But it can also include:
- Mental anguish
- Sleeplessness
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
Other psychological effects of the accident and injuries could also result in pain and suffering.
Property Loss
Being involved in a car accident can result in damage to your vehicle. From repairs to replacement, these damages can be very costly. We can recover the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle. If your injuries are severe, you may also be eligible to claim the diminished value of your vehicle.
