What Is No-Fault Insurance Coverage?

Florida requires drivers to have no-fault insurance coverage. In fact, this allows you to file a claim with your Personal Injury Protection insurance after an auto accident. This will pay up to 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages, though you must seek medical treatment within 14 days of the accident.

However, under the 14-day rule, if you don’t receive medical care within this timeframe, you won’t be able to file a Personal Injury Protection claim. You should keep records of all of your medical bills and lost wages so that you can submit them to your insurance provider.

Filling A Claim Against The At-Fault Driver

Should you sustain a serious injury in a car accident, you are able to pursue a claim against the at-fault party. Actually, Florida law, defines serious injuries as:

• Permanent disability or impairment
• Significant and permanent loss of important body function
• Permanent and significant scarring or disfigurement
• Death

In this instance, you will be able to seek compensation from the at-fault party.

Examples of compensation include both economic and non-economic damage. Economic damages include lost income, personal care costs, medical expenses, and travel expenses. Non-economic expenses include physical pain, emotional stress, decreased quality of life, and permanent injuries.

Our team at RHINO Lawyers is here to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

The aftermath of a car accident can be confusing, especially when navigating the legal process to recover compensation for your injuries. In fact, we understand the complexities involved and are here to guide you through each step. So, here is an overview of the legal process for filing a car accident claim in St. Petersburg.

1. Free Consultation – Your first step should be to schedule a free consultation with an experienced car accident lawyer at RHINO Lawyers. During this consultation, we will discuss the details of your accident, your injuries, and your potential legal options available.
2. Investigation – Once we understand your case, we will begin a thorough investigation to gather evidence to support your claim. This may involve collecting police reports, medical records, witness statements, accident scene photos, and any other relevant documentation.
3. Case Evaluation – Based on the evidence gathered, we will evaluate the strength of your case and determine the appropriate course of action. This may involve negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance company or filing a lawsuit, depending on the circumstances.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Being injured in a car accident can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Here at RHINO Lawyers, we understand car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe and debilitating injuries. Some of the most common car accident injuries include:

• Whiplash
• Back and neck injuries
• Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains)
• Broken bones
• Head injuries (concussion, traumatic brain injury)
• Internal injuries

If you sustain an injury in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately, regardless of how severe your injuries seem at first. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve your chances of a full recovery.

What To Do After A Car Accident?

The aftermath of a car accident can be a difficult time. Immediately following the accident, you should move your car and/or yourself away from the road as a safety precaution. Assess yourself, passengers, and anyone else involved in the accident for injures.

You should seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Once the shock from the accident wears off you may realize that you have sustained injuries.

It is essential that you report the accident to the police (if they have not already been called by witnesses). They will file a police report which will be important when you seek compensation as it will help to determine who the at-fault party was. Be sure to never accept or assign blame while at the scene of an accident.

Following the accident, you should take photos of the scene and of your vehicle, speak to witnesses, and keep the documents related to your expenses. You should also keep a journal that documents the pain and suffering you have experienced following the accident.

We recommend that you speak to our team of St. Petersburg car accident lawyers as soon as possible after a car accident. We will be by your side every step of the journey, to help ensure that you receive the compensation and justice you deserve. At RHINO Lawyers will help you to obtain all of the necessary evidence in order to prove liability in a claim.
