Your best bet for staying safe on the roads today is to be constantly aware of your surroundings and other vehicles, pedestrians, and bikes. Sometimes, even the greatest vigilance on our part is not enough, though, leaving many in the US—and Florida—the unexpected victims of car crashes. And no matter the extent of your injuries, being involved in any type of motor vehicle accident can be traumatic.

Car Crash Fatalities & Injuries Have Continued to Increase

Hazards on the road today may include everything from poor weather to novice drivers who are tired or under the influence, speeding, and generally negligent. Even though the media is paying increasing attention to what we need to do to stay safe on the roads, the number of crashes has been escalating, resulting in a recent high that shows the biggest increase in 50 years.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a study from 2015 showed that ‘the number of passenger car and light-truck occupant fatalities is at its highest since 2009.’ Their 2015 study also showed that over two million people were injured in passenger vehicles alone, showing a 4.5 percent increase.

Serious Injuries Require a Personal Injury Attorney

If you have sustained a serious injury in a car accident, this could be a trauma that affects you for a long time or permanently. Because of that, it is imperative to recover all compensation that is due to you from your insurer. You may be quite vulnerable after a car crash, especially if you are in pain from your injury. An experienced personal injury attorney can guide you in understanding the laws regarding how quickly you must attain medical treatment and what you should expect from your insurance company.

Unfortunately, if you are trying to handle a claim on your own, you may be dealing with delays, many questions, ongoing complicated correspondence, and the resulting deep disappointment of being offered a paltry amount for compensation.

Experience Means Everything

Working with the insurance company can be complex, no matter how you sustained injuries. Insurance companies are adept at paying out as little as possible. This is their area of expertise, and if you have a serious injury, you will benefit from the help of an experienced attorney you feel comfortable with and one who can work with you from the beginning to the conclusion of your case.

It’s also very likely that the insurance company will take your case more seriously if you are represented by a personal injury attorney. An experienced attorney will be able to guide you regarding litigation in Florida, advise you about all the proper steps to take for your case, and tell you what documentation, investigation, and more are required.
