How FFP Law Can Help After an Accident

If you have been injured in an accident, here are some of the ways we can help with your claim:

• Investigating the accident – The first step in any personal injury case is determining who is liable for your injuries. We can examine evidence like police reports, your medical records, witness statements, and more to figure out which party or parties were responsible for the accident and your injuries.
• Documenting your losses – Florida law allows personal injury victims to recover compensation for injuries and other losses that stem from their accident, but they must be fully documented. We can use your medical records, wage statements, and other evidence to document every type of harm you have suffered due to the accident so we know exactly what to demand for your claim.
• Filing your claim in a timely fashion – Personal injury lawsuits in Florida must generally be filed within two years of the date of your injury. That might sound like a long time, but, in reality, a lawsuit is one of the last steps in a claim. Before any lawsuit, you must usually go through the entire insurance claim process, so you should initiate your claim by contacting a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
• Negotiating with insurance companies – Most claims can be resolved before going to court through negotiations with the liable party’s insurance company. We can aggressively negotiate for a settlement that gives you the compensation you need and deserve.
• Bringing your case to court – If the insurance company or liable party refuses to pay a fair settlement, we are not afraid to file a civil lawsuit to demand the money you need. We are experienced litigators, so we will have a strong strategy ready to persuade a judge or jury of your right to compensation.

Types of Cases We Take

We handle many different types of personal injury cases at our firm, but some of the more common ones include:

• Car accidents – Car crashes injure thousands of Florida residents every year. Many of these accidents are caused by negligent drivers. Common examples of driver negligence include drunk driving, distracted driving, driving while fatigued, speeding, and following too closely. If you were injured in an accident of this nature, our dedicated High Springs car accident lawyers can review your claim during a free case review.
• Truck accidents – Truck accidents are less common than car accidents, but they often lead to catastrophic injuries because of the truck’s relative size. Various parties may share in liability for a truck accident, including negligent truck drivers, the truck driver’s employer, and even truck manufacturers, in some cases.
• Motorcycle accidents – Motorcyclists are much more vulnerable to injuries in a crash. Other drivers often cause motorcycle accidents by failing to watch for motorcyclists around them, especially when they merge into traffic, make a turn, or change lanes.
• Pedestrian accidents – A negligent driver can cause horrific injuries to a pedestrian if they fail to drive responsibly. Drivers can be held responsible for pedestrian crashes that they cause.
• Bicycle accidents – Bicyclists have the same rights as drivers of any other vehicle, but many drivers fail to respect them. When they cut a bicyclist off in traffic, follow too closely, or otherwise cause a bike crash, they can be held responsible through a personal injury claim.
• Premises liability accidents – Landlords have a legal obligation to keep common areas of their properties free from dangerous conditions. Not all property owners take this duty seriously. In Florida, swimming pool accidents are a common cause of premises liability injuries.
