Representing Car Accident Victims Throughout Florida
Car accidents often happen when you least expect them to, and when they do happen, they can be a confusing and scary time for all involved. After an accident, you may find yourself suddenly hit with a large amount of medical bills and a number of other expenses you weren’t expecting to be hit with in the midst of your recovery.
When another driver causes an accident and you are injured, it is expected that the at fault driver’s insurance company will compensate you for your medical losses and damages. However, dealing directly with insurance companies who find reasons not to pay you can be tricky. Hiring an experienced car accident lawyer in Florida can help put your mind at ease and allow you to focus on healing while, we focus on your financial recovery. Jason Turchin and his team of car accident attorneys have experience negotiating with and dealing with insurance companies who don’t want to pay. If you’ve been injured, don’t hesitate and call us today at (800) 337-7755.

Financial Loss After a Car Accident
When you are involved in a car accident, you may expect to incur a number of expenses. The following losses are most commonly reported after an injury results from a car accident:
- Medical Expenses – Even if your injuries aren’t serious, accidents may result in an ambulance ride to the nearest hospital, where medical personnel will examine you for common injuries such as broken bones, sprains, contusions, and neck and back trauma. A hospital bill plus an ambulance ride may be anything but cheap. A victim of a car accident may experience continual pain with follow up at specialists and rehabilitation facilities for further treatment, which racks up the medical bills even higher and often beyond what health insurance or your own car insurance may cover.
- Property Damage – It is often no easy financial feat to repair a vehicle that has been damaged in a car accident. You could be entitled to compensation for the damages and diminished value caused by an accident.
- Loss of Wages – Between doctors appointments and physical therapy sessions after you are injured in a car accident, you could have to take a few hours to the entire day off of work, possibly more than once a week. Through no fault of your own, you could be losing income that you could have been earning if you didn’t have to miss work in order to heal.
- Pain and Suffering – In addition to other damages you may be entitled to recover, you could also get money for your pain and suffering.
Car Accidents and Florida Law
Florida law provides that your auto insurance company must have personal injury protection, or PIP. This law enables your auto insurance company to provide up to $10,000 in personal injury protection benefits to help you pay for expenses, such as medical bills and other damages that result from a car accident.
Typically, the driver who is responsible for the accident and his or her insurance company is responsible for covering any remaining damages and expenses that PIP didn’t cover. However, responsibility in under Florida law can be tricky. If your case goes to trial, the judge or jury may decide that you shared responsibility in causing the crash.
Florida uses what is called “pure” comparative fault rule for car accidents. What this means is that the judge or jury decides the damages you are awarded basis on your percentage of fault. For example, say you were going through a green light and another vehicle strikes you from the side, believing that they had a green light. If a jury cannot tell who was responsible, they could assess 50/50 liability. This means that if the jury awards you $100,000 in damages, you may collect $50,000.00 due to your percentage of blame.
