Car Crashes and Personal Injury Cases in the State of Florida

Crashes between two or more personal vehicles are among the most common sources of personal injuries in the state of Florida. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports over 200,000 car accidents annually, with a significant portion of these occurring in St. Lucie, Palm Beach, and Martin counties, as well as the other areas that Treasure Coast Legal serves. If you are involved in a serious car accident—one involving even minor to moderate injuries, it's important that you seek medical attention immediately. Treating your injuries should not affect your claim with the insurance company.

After attending to your immediate medical needs, however, you should contact a reputable and proven personal injury lawyer—like the ones you will find at Treasure Coast Legal.

When it comes to motor vehicle collisions and their resulting injuries, every hour that a claim is not filed means the loss of physical evidence. Vehicles are repaired, debris on the road is cleared away, and witnesses change addresses. That is why it's so important to retain the services of a personal injury lawyer—one with motor vehicle collision experience—immediately.

The Don'ts of Car Accidents

If you are injured in a crash, you should not do any of the following before speaking with your own personal injury attorney:
Don't make a statement to any insurance company representative (including your own insurer)!
Don't sign any paperwork from an insurer or a claims adjuster!
Don't accept payment in any form from an insurer or claims adjuster!
Don't make any admissions as to fault!
