Car accidents are common and unavoidable, especially in cities in South Florida. Hialeah is the 6th largest city in Florida. Unfortunately, the factors of tourists and a lot of traffic make accidents inevitable even when driving carefully. If you or a loved one have been involved in a car accident, it is essential to contact a car accident lawyer who can help you evaluate your options. One of our Hialeah attorneys can assist you in investigating the accident and find out who is responsible. Through this investigation, another party could be found liable for the damages and injuries you have suffered. If they are liable, you can file a case for compensation.
We understand the difficulty of moving forward after an accident and would like to facilitate that process for you. At Gallardo Law Firm, we will do this by dealing with the insurance companies, scheduling appointments, and always answering your calls or messages. You can focus on recovery while we care for everything and ensure you receive the justice you deserve.
Our lawyers know how an injury can dramatically affect your life and want to help you every step of the way. Refrain from wasting time speaking with insurance companies that do not care about you. We will make certain that your case is handled promptly and with the utmost care. You can trust that we will for these reasons:
Florida requires drivers to have PIP Insurance, which stands for Personal Injury Protection. This is because Florida is a "no-fault" state; if you suffer in a car accident, you will be compensated regardless of who is at fault.
How it works:
According to the Florida Statute of Limitations, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Although there are some exceptions, such as medical malpractice and cases involving minors, contacting an attorney immediately after an accident is crucial to discuss your options. Because there is a time limit, our team works efficiently on your case as soon as we receive your call. We will utilize our resources and lengthy experience to defend you.
The injuries in a car accident can range from very minor to deadly. These injuries can be amplified and made further dangerous when collisions occur with larger vehicles such as trucks. Some possible injuries to take note of after you have an accident are:
If the injury prevents you from going about your life normally, chances are compensation is due. These are all physical injuries, but emotional pain and suffering are just as important.
As mentioned, a car accident can typically cause a number of injuries and damage, both physically and emotionally. Insurance companies will not offer you a realistic amount to recover from these injuries because they do not regard noneconomic damages.
Some significant noneconomic damages:
The good news is that all of this time lost can be regained. Through a third-party claim, you can fully recover all of your economic and noneconomic damages. There are four aspects to consider in car accidents when evaluating how to manage your case. Our team would love to assist you and help you determine your next step.
Our Hialeah attorneys will first investigate whether the other driver was driving carelessly, as that would be a breach of their Duty of Care. Violations of this can include but are not limited to:
These things can be proved by interviewing eyewitnesses from the scene and speaking to police. The next step would be to find causation; you would find the cause of your accident and establish a connection to the negligent driver. The causation could be found in evidence such as police reports, medical reports, and a qualified medical professional's opinion. Furthermore, the testimony of a family member or friend can collaborate on how your injuries have drastically affected your life.
Lastly, our team will use medical bills and your employment paperwork to prove all economic and noneconomic damages. We can determine how much compensation to request through the cumulative money wasted due to the accident and expected losses like future salary.
