What to Do After a Serious Accident in Miami, Florida

Were you hurt in an accident in Miami? If so, it is essential that you understand what you need to do to put yourself in the best position to bring a successful legal claim. Here are some of the most important things that you should do after an accident in Miami: 

1. Get Medical Care: Your health and well-being should be your top priority after an accident. To be sure, severe injuries always require emergency care. Though, even non-emergency injuries should still be assessed by a physician. You may be more badly hurt than you realize. In addition to that, you can only bring a personal injury claim if you see a doctor. 
2. Report the Accident: All serious accidents should be reported to the proper authorities and/or other parties. For example, a car accident should be reported to law enforcement. A slip and fall, to the property owner or property occupier. Make sure you establish a record of the accident by reporting it. 
3. Document Everything: In Florida, most personal injury claims are at-fault legal cases. In effect, this means that the party who was responsible for causing the accident through their unsafe actions/inactions can be held liable for the damages. Of course, you will need strong and comprehensive evidence to hold a defendant liable. 
4. Consult With a Lawyer (Before an Insurer): It is imperative to consult with a Miami personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and options, and can help you navigate the legal process. Be sure to speak to an attorney before giving any official statement to an insurance company. 

Common Types of Injuries Sustained in Accidents

A serious injury can change your entire life. In the matter of seconds, you could be left with major medical needs. Our Miami personal injury law firm handles all types of injuries. Regardless of how you got hurt and the severity of your injuries, we are here to help you determine the proper course of action. The following are examples of personal injury claims our lawyer handles:

Replacing Lost Wages

A serious accident that causes catastrophic injuries can take a large toll on your finances. You may be facing significant medical expenses, especially if you have a high-deductible health plan. You may also be missing time at work, resulting in lost wages.

At Dolan Dobrinsky Rosenblum Bluestein, LLP in Miami, we understand the legal and financial issues you are facing. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, our attorneys can help you recover the compensation you need to get your life back on track. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss the financial issues you are facing. We represent clients throughout South and Central Florida.

Who Will Replace My Lost Wages?

If you are injured in a car accident in Florida, your personal injury protection coverage (PIP) will pay for 80 percent of your medical bills and 60 percent of your lost wages, up to a maximum of $10,000. However, if you have suffered a severe injury, $10,000 will not go far in paying your bills.

If the accident was caused by someone else, our attorneys can help you seek full compensation for everything you have lost, including current and future lost wages, and loss of earnings potential.

Unfortunately, insurance companies will not pay expenses as you incur them. If they can avoid paying you anything, they will. In the meantime, you will need to find another way to pay your bills until your case is resolved by negotiation or jury verdict. Our lawyers can help you explore your options, such as short- and long-term disability benefits.

Should I Accept A Settlement?

Insurance companies know that you may be under financial pressure. As a result, they may offer a small amount of money to resolve your case. While any amount of money may seem attractive right now, you should not accept less than you deserve. That check will come with a waiver form that will bar you from seeking any future compensation, no matter how serious your injury turns out to be. Before signing that settlement, you should talk to our experienced personal injury attorney to see what options you have.

Why You Need To Obtain Medical Care

Do not let a lack of health insurance or coverage with a high deductible dissuade you from obtaining the medical care you need. If you discontinue treatment because you think you can’t afford it, the insurance company will assume that you are no longer injured — and offer you less money than you deserve. An even worse consequence is that you may find that your injury leads to a chronic health condition.

Until your personal injury case is resolved, you will need to find another way to pay your medical bills. Your options may include:

• Personal injury protection coverage, which is a part of your Florida no-fault insurance;
• Health coverage through your employer;
• A private health insurance policy;
• Medicare; and
• Medicaid.

Our attorneys will help you choose the best way to pay your medical benefits. We’ll also negotiate with your health insurance plan so you will end up with the most money left in your pocket after your personal injury case is resolved.

You should never accept an insurance company’s settlement offer without discussing your case with a personal injury lawyer. Once you accept a settlement and sign a waiver, your case is over. You will not be able to request more money later if your injury turns out to be more severe than you thought.

Personal Injury Claims in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I Need a Lawyer?

If you’ve been seriously injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligent actions, you almost certainly need an attorney. There are exceptions, of course, and the circumstances surrounding your case will determine the final answer. Our firm offers a free initial consultation so victims of personal injuries can get the answer to this question without risking anything more than a little time to discuss the incident.

The severity of your injuries makes a difference, as does the insurance status of the parties involved in the accident. If you think you don’t need a lawyer because you can negotiate a fair settlement on your own, you should consider the problem from the point of view of the insurance company. It has no reason to bargain fairly with you. It has all the experience and resources on its side. Its adjusters know every trick to give you less than you deserve, and they are not afraid to use them.

How Much Is My Claim Worth?

There is no simple answer to this question. In the best-case scenario, you will be fully compensated for everything you’ve lost. That includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and all other economic and non-economic damages. While some of these figures are straightforward, others are not so easily quantifiable. It is vital to present compelling evidence of all the harm you’ve suffered to maximize the compensation you receive following a personal injury.

How Long Will It Take To Receive Full Compensation?

This is another difficult question to answer. It is hard to remain patient while medical bills pile up and you are unable to work. The stress involved is often enough to push an injured person into accepting a settlement offer far below what is reasonable. If your insurance company or the insurance company of the negligent party offers a reasonable settlement, the matter can be concluded in a few months. If a reasonable offer is not forthcoming, it can take longer. At Dolan Dobrinsky Rosenblum Bluestein, LLP, we focus on resolving each case properly in as little time as possible, but we do not recommend accepting less than you deserve to get a quick resolution. While the decision ultimately belongs to the client, an insufficient settlement can lead to disaster in the long run.

Can I Afford an Attorney?

After a personal injury, the thought of taking on an additional expense can be overwhelming. The financial pressure of an accident is tremendous. Fortunately, personal injury cases are handled on contingency. That means that your attorneys are paid a portion of what they obtain for you. The amount an attorney can take is limited by Florida law. On the plus side, contingency fees ensure that your attorney is motivated to get you all the compensation you deserve. Personal injury victims get the benefit of legal representation and insurance companies are not given free rein to trample the rights of innocent victims.
