What Happens in a Florida Car Accident?

People talk about accidents occurring in slow motion, but the immediate aftermath of an auto accident is likely to be a blur. Following that, as you deal with the other driver, police, possibly emergency medical personnel, and then the insurance company, it is a time of pain and stress. If a death has occurred, the pain and stress of survivors increases immeasurably.

Being in a collision or another type of car accident is a common occurrence, but it is usually a unique experience for those involved. Shock, stress, confusion, and even anger can cloud an accident victim’s judgment about what to do or say. This is why it is appropriate and necessary to obtain legal help as soon as possible from an experienced Florida automobile accident attorney.

Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side

After an automobile accident, you will likely exchange insurance information with the other driver. Then, if the other driver was at fault, you may expect their insurance company to make things right. This is a mistake.

Insurance companies stay in business by taking in more money than they pay out. A claims adjuster has a duty to their employer to provide the smallest insurance claim settlement possible after a car wreck. This is why it is crucial that you obtain legal help after any accident in which there is an insurance claim.

The seasoned car accident lawyers of Philip DeBerard, Injury Attorney, have many years of experience in dealing with Florida insurance companies. We know their tactics. We know their techniques. Most importantly, we know how to protect your rights.

Philip DeBerard, an experienced injury attorney, can review any settlement offer from an insurance company and help you determine whether it meets what’s appropriate in your individual case. If it does not, we will strive to make sure the “final offer” does.

Before you agree to anything offered or suggested by an insurance company, call the best car accident lawyer, Philip DeBerard, Injury Attorney. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING from an insurance company; you could be giving up your right to compensation.
