Injured In A Crash? Five Reasons To Contact An Experienced Bradenton Car Accident Attorney

GavelCars

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reports that nearly 6,000 car accidents in Manatee County happen each year. These can cause broken bones, torn muscles or tendons, concussions, herniated discs, and other serious injuries. When reckless driving on the part of others involved is to blame, you have the right to seek compensation. The following are five reasons why you should contact an experienced Bradenton car accident lawyer right away.

  1. You only have one chance to get compensation in a claim.

Under the Florida Statutes, you have the right to hold at-fault drivers liable for property damages, medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs associated with Bradenton car accident injuries. Even if you were partially to blame, you may be entitled to compensation. However, you only have one chance to get the total amount needed to cover all current and future losses. Before making any statements, signing any documents, or accepting a settlement, get legal help first.

  1. While you focus on your recovery, we fight to get you compensation.

Car accidents are sudden, often traumatic events that can take a long time to recover from physically and mentally. During this difficult time, it helps to have a strong legal advocate on your side. While you focus on yourself and the healing process, we take the actions needed to get you compensation.

  1. We investigate and gather the evidence needed to prove the other driver was at fault.

In order to get compensation in a claim, you need to prove the other driver was at fault. Our Bradenton car accident lawyer can obtain police reports, gather statements from witnesses, review surveillance footage of the crash scene, and gather other evidence to support your case.

  1. We have extensive experience dealing with auto insurers and claims adjusters.

Car accident insurers may surprise you by offering you an immediate settlement. Be aware that these companies routinely downplay claims. Unfortunately, any offer they make is unlikely to cover all your current and future costs. Get a car accident lawyer who has experience dealing with insurers to help negotiate the best possible settlement.

  1. We can represent you in a Bradenton car accident lawsuit, helping you get the maximum compensation.

If the other driver was uninsured, multiple parties are involved, or the insurer disputes your claim, we can file a car accident lawsuit in Bradenton through the Manatee County Civil Court. This can take longer but is often the best way to get the maximum compensation.
