Motor vehicle accidents all too often result in devastating injuries that temporarily or permanently upend your life. Our car accident attorneys in Hollywood, FL, believe that, since these injuries were not your fault, you should not have to pay for them.
Compensation that might be available in your car accident case includes:
Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reports that, of the 40,837 traffic accidents recorded in Broward County in 2022, 15,949 resulted in at least one injury. That means nearly 40 percent of Broward County car crashes caused one or more injuries.
Some people are lucky enough to walk away from a crash with minor injuries that will heal with time and proper treatment. Others suffer what is classified under Florida law as a “serious bodily injury.” Florida Statutes § 316.027 defines such an injury as a physical condition that creates a substantial risk of:
Brain, head, spine, neck, and back injuries are common car accident injuries that can be considered “serious” under this definition. Broken bones, internal organ damage, and noticeable scars are also common forms of serious injuries that may allow our Hollywood catastrophic injury lawyers to pursue compensation through an injury claim filed against the other driver.
Even if your injuries do not match the definition of “serious bodily injury” outlined above, your life has still been negatively affected by someone else’s negligence. Rosenberg & Rosenberg wants to make sure you get the damages you need to move forward with as little stress as possible.
Do not give up on recovering compensation without consulting our firm. You might be surprised by the array of legal options available to you.
Depending on the circumstances of your crash and what policies each of the involved parties has, you may have several options for recovering compensation. Our car accident injury lawyers would be glad to review your situation and recommend a course of action.
Florida’s no-fault law for auto insurance coverage and accident liability requires drivers to carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance that meets minimum requirements. According to FLHSMV, that minimum is at least $10,000 for bodily injuries.
If an accident occurs, no matter who caused it, each driver’s PIP insurance should help pay for up to 80 percent of your medical bills.
Typically, after an accident, you must use your PIP insurance to get coverage for your damages. You will not be permitted to file an injury claim against the other driver, even if you know their mistake was the sole reason for the crash, unless your policy is not enough to cover your losses.
Once you meet that threshold, the car crash lawyers at Rosenberg & Rosenberg can pursue legal action—up to and including filing a lawsuit—from the negligent party. The types of compensation available in a personal injury claim are more varied than they are for PIP claims, making this option a valuable lifeline for many.
Despite state law making car insurance a requirement, many Florida drivers do not have insurance. As of July 2024, 6.27 percent of drivers in Florida—or over one million people—had no insurance. The percentage was even higher in Broward County, where 6.76 percent of drivers were uninsured.
If you purchased uninsured motorist coverage, this policy will pay for some of your losses after a collision with a driver who does not have the means to compensate you.
Car accidents are caused by various forms of negligence, especially driver negligence, which could have been prevented with greater care and concern for others. Examples of driver negligence include:
To illustrate how dangerous these behaviors are, Page 15 of a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report shows that speeding caused 11 percent of all Florida traffic fatalities in 2022.
Some accidents are not solely caused by a negligent driver; they may also involve both a negligent driver and another liable party. Other parties Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s car accident lawyers can pursue on your behalf include::
