Boca Raton has it all. In Boca Raton we have Primary schools, High schools, Universities and Colleges. In Boca Raton we have manufacturing businesses, offices, shops and malls. We live, work, eat and play in Boca Raton.
However, to do the things we need to, or want to; we have to use the roads in Boca Raton. In contrast to many other parts of Florida our Boca Raton roads are in fairly good condition. In common with the rest of Florida, is that we are all equally likely to be involved in a car accident at some time or another.
The consequences of a car accident are far reaching, and can have a lasting impact on anyone injured in a car accident. In some cases these after effects will last the rest of their lives.
Receiving money compensation for an injury sustained in a car accident will come from either an out of court settlement, or as the result of a jury verdict. It is true that large amounts of money are paid out as a result of jury hearings, but, an out of court settlement is a better settlement, most of the time.
An experienced Boca Raton car accident lawyer will first of all help you assess whether or not you have a case, and if they are prepared to represent you. Florida law makes provision for money compensation for certain types of damage to property, and for certain types of injury. In brief, personal injuries are covered by: Loss of Income; Medical Bills; Pain and Suffering, and Wrongful Death. An injury does not automatically entitle you to compensation in Florida.
Florida drivers are also compelled to have Personal Injury Protection and Property Damage Liability car insurance. Your Boca Raton car accident lawyer will be able to ascertain the levels of insurance the at-fault driver has, in order to negotiate the best possible money compensation settlement for you.
It does happen that an Insurance company will make a “final offer”, and subtly try to intimidate the recipient of the compensation claim. As an experienced Florida and Boca Raton car accident lawyer I will negotiate for the best compensation claim possible, and if that fails, I am an expert in Civil Trial, and I will take your case before a jury if I need to. Only about 10% of all car accident cases go to court, as most are settled out of court. A good settlement is better than a jury verdict. Court costs are avoided, there is no risk of an appeal, there can be no retrial, a mistrial is avoided altogether, and, in a personal injury case that is settled out of court, your money settlement is safe.
The money received in a claim often increases when the results from MRI scans are produced, or when there is proof that surgery had been necessary, or would be necessary. With 30 years experience in car accident claims I know what is needed, and I do what is necessary to ensure that my clients get the best money compensation.
Loss of income: The same injury can be worth different money to different people. If I lost my little finger finger in a car accident, it would be worth less money than if I was a NBA player or a surgeon. Although many people are out of work at the time of the car accident, due to the difficult economy, future loss of income can usually be estimated and compensation for such future loss of income can be part of the money claim.
Medical Bills: Under Florida's "No-Fault" law, your own car insurance is responsible to pay for your first medical bills, up to $10,000; this type of insurance coverage is called "P.I.P" which is short for Personal Injury Protection. If you were not in your own car, or if you did not have a car, call me and ask what difference it would make.
Pain & Suffering: Florida has special requirements in order to get money compensation for pain and suffering. With few exceptions, there must be a permanent injury. However, this phase of permanent injury does not mean you must have a fracture or huge injury. As an experienced Florida car accident lawyer I can explain whether or not you are likely to meet the requirements.
