Car Accidents
About Car Accidents
Heavy traffic on our Florida roadways makes car accidents a common occurrence. Fortunately, many accidents are small fender benders, resulting in only minor damage to your vehicle. These accidents can often be settled through a simple exchange of insurance information and a police report.
More serious car accidents, which result in injury, cause legal issues which are difficult for victims to manage on their own. Medical expenses, lost wages due to injuries, vehicle repairs and additional expenses quickly add up. Insurance companies are often slow or unresponsive in helping you get the money you need to deal with these mounting expenses, making a bad situation worse.
Legal Rights of Car Accident Victims
Motor vehicle laws in the state of Florida mandate that the responsible party pay for damage and injuries that occur due to an accident. While the driver is ultimately to blame, in most cases it is the insurance company that will pay these expenses. As a rule, insurance companies do not like to pay out money so they will often deny claims, delay payment or try to settle for less than you deserve.
Dealing with a big insurance company can be extremely frustrating for the victim of a car accident. Insurance companies employ teams of lawyers whose goal is to pay you as little as possible. Insurance companies do not work for you; they work for their shareholders.
At William W. Price, P.A., we do work for you. Our attorneys are experienced in helping car accident victims get the money they deserve so they can heal and get on with their lives. We have the knowledge, experience and the commitment to use the fullest extent of the law to protect your legal rights and ensure that big insurance companies don’t deny you your rightful compensation.
Compensation for Car Accidents
Florida Law allows car accident victims to seek compensation for expenses incurred due to the car accident. Our attorneys will help you pursue payment for your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, car repairs and other expenses related to your car accident.
