Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle crashes happen every day in South Florida. Injuries can be minor or very serious. Either way, medical treatment is almost always needed. When a motor vehicle accident takes place, most people are not sure what to do. They are understandably upset and possibly not thinking clearly. It is vital to contact an injury attorney immediately so that you can be instructed on the best steps to take and how to handle insurance company phone calls and paperwork. All too often, clients come to us after they have done some things that actually hurt their legal case. We encourage you to keep our phone number in your wallet and glove compartment and call us as soon as an accident happens. Even after business hours, our answering service will contact us immediately if you’ve been in an accident.

Remember, if you or a family member has been injured in any type of vehicle accident, insurance companies want to pay as little as possible. They will attempt to quickly settle your claim for the lowest possible amount and have you sign something which says you will not pursue any further compensation. Pain and symptoms resulting from auto crashes can show themselves three weeks or three months after the accident—sometimes even longer. It is best to see quality specialists and medical experts to obtain a full understanding of what your physical needs are and what your treatment will be.
