After a car accident, victims often feel like they have been thrust into a new world. Amid the chaos of medical treatment and vehicle repairs, you may wonder if or when you should speak to your insurance company. Because Florida is a no-fault insurance state, contacting your insurer after your accident is essential. However, these companies may not have your best interests in mind and may attempt to undervalue your claim. Fortunately, an experienced attorney can negotiate with your insurance company on your behalf to ensure you are compensated fairly for the full extent of your injuries and other losses.
If you have been injured in a Florida car accident, do not hesitate to reach out to the trusted attorneys at Wooten, Kimbrough, Damaso & Dennis. We understand the stress you are under and can take the burden of navigating your insurance claim off of your shoulders. We have over a century of combined experience helping car accident victims like you secure the maximum compensation available for the damages they have endured. When you partner with us, we will investigate every detail of your accident and fight for the justice you deserve.
Speaking With Your Insurance Company After a Car Accident
Because Florida is a no-fault state, it is essential to contact your insurance company soon after your accident to begin your claim. The no-fault insurance system is designed to compensate victims for their medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. However, you may also be eligible to file a claim against the other driver’s insurance, depending on the circumstances surrounding your case.
While contacting your insurance company is important, exercising caution when speaking with your adjuster is also in your best interest. Anything you say may be considered an admission of fault for the accident and used to devalue your claim. Additionally, they may ask you to make a recorded statement or sign a low initial settlement offer. These tactics are designed to help insurance companies avoid paying victims compensation for the full scope of their losses. An experienced attorney can help you protect your rights in negotiations with the insurance company so you have the opportunity to recover the maximum amount of compensation available for your claim.
