CAR ACCIDENTS
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Daytona Beach?
Immediately after a car accident in Daytona Beach, check everyone for injuries and call 911 without delay. Obtain a police report, because that report often plays an important role in your claim. Exchange contact and insurance information with all drivers involved. Take photographs of the crash scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Avoid apologizing or admitting fault, even informally, because those statements can be used against you later. Seek medical care within 14 days, even if you believe you are not seriously hurt. Then contact a car accident lawyer before speaking in detail with any insurance company so that your rights are protected from the beginning.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Daytona Beach?
In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a car accident lawsuit. This deadline is called the statute of limitations. Waiting too long can harm your case. Evidence can be lost, physical scenes may change, and witnesses’ memories can fade. Beginning the process promptly allows your legal team to gather and preserve strong evidence while it is still available. Missing the statute of limitations deadline can result in losing the right to pursue your claim at all.
What kind of compensation can I receive after a Daytona Beach car accident?
After a Daytona Beach car accident, you may be able to recover compensation for a range of losses. This can include medical expenses such as hospital bills, doctor visits, rehabilitation, and medication. You may also recover lost wages if your injuries kept you from working, as well as future loss of earning capacity if your ability to work has been permanently affected. In addition, you may pursue compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injuries and how the accident has affected your daily life. Our goal is to account for all of these damages and pursue the full value of your claim.
Will my car accident case in Daytona Beach go to trial?
Most car accident cases in Daytona Beach do not go to trial and are resolved through negotiated settlements. Trials can take considerable time and money for all parties. Settlements usually happen more quickly and provide a certain outcome, while a trial result is never guaranteed. If the insurance company offers a fair amount, settlement may be in your best interest. If it does not, we may recommend filing a lawsuit. Even after a lawsuit is filed, many cases still settle before trial. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which helps demonstrate to the other side that we are prepared to fully litigate your claim if necessary.
