Don’t Worry. We Can Handle Everything After A Motor Vehicle Accident.
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system. However, fault is still a significant factor in many personal injury claims. Initially, you must file a claim with your own insurance provider. Our firm can manage this process and handle all communications with the insurance companies involved in your case. You focus on healing; let us handle the rest.
We handle a wide variety of motor vehicle accidents, such as:
Auto Accidents
Car accidents happen every day, leaving innocent victims with painful injuries and mountains of bills to pay – not to mention the hassle of dealing with insurance companies, repair shops and more.
The statute of limitations for most car accidents in Florida is two years. A statute of limitations is a specific time period in which you must file a legal claim or it will be dismissed by the court. Additionally, the 14-day accident law in Florida requires anyone who makes a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance claim to seek medical treatment within 14 days of the motor vehicle accident they were involved in.
In order to preserve all of your rights, it is crucial to speak with an experienced attorney immediately following an auto accident. After an auto accident in Tampa, our experienced auto accident lawyer can represent you and help you deal with the aftermath of your accident. From helping you get necessary medical treatment to dealing with the insurance companies, Ms. Ruiz will do everything she can to help you get your life back on track. Most importantly, she will fight to hold the at-fault party accountable and get you the compensation you need to recover.
Motorcycle Accidents
All too often, motorists overlook motorcyclists on the road. Negligent drivers may speed, fail to yield the right-of-way or simply fail to look for motorcycles when changing lanes or entering the highway – all of which can lead to devastating accidents.
Motorcyclists can suffer injuries ranging from broken bones to paralysis or even death. If you or a loved one is suffering after a motorcycle accident, we will fight to hold the negligent party accountable. We will work to get you full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. You shouldn’t have to pay for an accident that wasn’t your fault.
Truck Accidents
Due to their size and weight, commercial trucks can cause severe or even catastrophic injuries in an accident. In addition to the seriousness of these accidents, there are often complex legal issues involved. For example, there may be more than one party responsible such as the trucking company, another driver, a truck part manufacturer, a maintenance company or others.
Our goal is to hold all the responsible parties accountable for the harm they caused. We will fight for full, fair compensation for all your losses after a truck accident.
What Compensation Can You Get After A Motor Vehicle Accident?
The impact of an accident can be vast, and you shouldn’t have to pay the costs if the accident wasn’t your fault. Generally, compensation might cover anything the accident cost you:
Current and future medical expenses, Property damage, Lost wages, Lost earning capacity, Pain and suffering.
We aim to ensure you receive full, fair compensation for everything you lost in the crash.
What If You Were Partly At Fault For The Accident?
In Florida, the modified comparative negligence rule applies if you are found partly at fault in an accident. Your injury compensation will get reduced by your percentage of fault – if that percentage is over 50%, you cannot claim compensation at all. Determining fault can be complex but is crucial for your personal injury claim. Our firm is skilled in proving fault to help protect your rights and potential compensation.
