A Florida Car Accident Attorney Can Deal with the Insurance Company for You
Since insurance covers virtually all vehicle accidents in Florida, your attorney will first file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. When they file your claim, your lawyer will include a written statement that details the accident and your injuries and why/how the other driver is responsible. Your attorney will also include a settlement amount the insurance company can pay to resolve the matter and close the claim.
If the insurance company responds with a lower offer, your lawyer will haggle with them to get them to pay more. Settlement negotiations can take time, but they are often necessary for getting enough to cover the full costs of your injuries and losses. If your attorney can’t settle with the insurance company, or if the insurance company flat-out denies your claim and refuse to settle, you will have to take them to court and sue for the compensation you need.
“Over the last several years from 2015 to 2021, Jim Holliday and Ted Karatinos have successfully litigated several auto lawsuits for my wife and myself.”
When we were offered a half settlement recently, Ted said we shoud sue for the full value of the policy limits. We won!!! Recently, Lauren Voelker was great in getting the most money for me, even though I had arm surgery, which required some funds from the settlement. Keki always has a smiling voice when I have called the last several weeks. I would highly rate Holliday and Karatinos as an A+ lawfirm!!!

Florida is a No-Fault State for Car Insurance
Florida is a no-fault car insurance state. Drivers must purchase a minimum of $10,000 in personal injury protection to cover up to 80 percent of their injuries and lost wages, regardless of fault.
However, this amount may not be enough to compensate you if you suffered serious injuries. Also, if the other driver did not have car insurance, you will have to file an injury claim with your own insurance, and they will then likely sue the driver or take other legal measures to recoup their losses. In some cases, your attorney may have to file suit against the other driver in court.
If you do have to file an accident claim with your own insurance, an attorney can do it for you. Having an attorney handle matters with your insurance company offers many advantages, and you may see results quicker. Keep in mind that all insurance companies are businesses and are not eager to pay on claims, particularly large ones. You may have had the same insurance company for years and feel comfortable with them, but you may make mistakes filing your claim or inadvertently say something that makes it appear you were responsible for the crash.
A lawyer will understand any tactics the insurance company may use to reduce the amount they will pay or the injuries they will cover. A lawyer will fight to make them honor your claim and pay you what you deserve. A lawyer can also gather all the information you will need and file all the paperwork for you so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
