How Will Your Tampa Side-Impact Collision Lawyer Recover Your Compensation?
Your lawyer will file your insurance claims and then negotiate with your insurers on your behalf. This may be a quick, effective option for recovering your compensation.
However, your insurers may not be willing to compensate you fairly. If they aren’t willing, your lawyer can file a lawsuit or take your case to court if necessary.
Alternatively, your lawyer could immediately file a lawsuit against the other driver. This might be the best option if you lost a family member in the collision. With this option, your lawyer will file your lawsuit and negotiate your court verdict.
What Compensation Can You Recover After A Tampa Side Impact Car Accident?
The compensation you can recover after a side impact car accident depends on the details of your case and how you pursue compensation. For example, you can file a claim through your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance and your property damage liability (PDL) insurance. You may also file a personal injury lawsuit against the other driver.
If you go through your insurance, you can get compensation for some financial damages, such as the medical bills you’ve incurred. If you sue the other driver, you may get compensation for all of your accident-related losses. A lawyer from our firm could help you seek compensation for:
- Physical damages: These could be physical pain, impairment/disability, and even loss of consortium.
- Intangible damages: Your lawyer could pursue any mental anguish or emotional trauma you have.
- Personal property costs: Your lawyer will pursue the repair/replacement cost of your vehicle and any other costs for damaged/destroyed property.
- Medical costs: You can expect your lawyer to pursue all of your medical costs, including the cost of any physical therapy and/or assistive care you require.
- Lost income: If you can’t work during your recovery, your lawyer will pursue your lost income. Your lawyer can even pursue lost income-earning capability.
Wrongful Death Damages You Can Recover After A Tampa Crash

- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of future income

Who Is Liable For Compensating You After A Tampa Side Impact Crash?
Your insurance company may be liable for compensating you after a car accident. The liable party may also owe you compensation. Our team in Tampa can help you determine who is liable for compensating you after your accident. We can do this by demonstrating negligence.
To establish negligence in your case, your lawyer will have to show the following:
- Duty of care: The liable party had a duty to keep you safe.
- Breach of duty: The liable party breached their duty of care by acting with negligence.
- Causation: Their negligence was the cause of your accident and injuries.
- Damages: You suffered damages.
Your attorney will gather evidence to prove the liable party’s negligence. This could be traffic camera footage of the collision or even data from a vehicle’s event data recorder. Your lawyer may also have to show corroborating evidence, such as testimony from a car accident reconstructionist.
