How to Choose a Car Accident Lawyer in South Florida

Unfortunately, car accidents occur every single day throughout South Florida.  With literally hundreds of attorneys advertising, how do you find the right one? 

Many accidents result in minor damage that can be handled directly with an insurance company, while others may involve substantial property damage, severe physical injury, or a fatality that may require legal representation from an experienced and skilled, local accident and injury attorney.

A personal injury and accident attorney can help you recover compensation which covers any losses incurred as a result of the accident, including:

• • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Car repairs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Car rentals
  • Wrongful death claim, due to a fatality of a loved one

According to Florida’s statute of limitations regarding personal injury claims, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in the state’s civil courts. However, it’s imperative to retain legal services early to avoid significant errors or any missed details that are still fresh, as well as to cover medical expenses and lost wages.

Your car accident lawyer should possess extensive knowledge of Florida and national transportation laws, know how to handle complex cases with insurance and health care companies, and understand how to adequately represent their client in court. You can do your own research by verifying an attorney’s background, references and track record of success.

The following are important questions you should ask a potential personal injury lawyer of your choice:

• • What percentage of your practice is dedicated to car accident claims?
  • How much experience do you have specifically with car accident claims and injuries cases?
  • How are your fees structured?
  • What is the usual settlement range for cases like mine?
  • What am I responsible to pay for once my claim has been settled?
