What Your Miami Car Accident Lawyer Should Tell You About Your Rights

Car accidents can be scary, but the aftermath can sometimes be worse. When the accidents are serious, insurance companies will usually “battle it out,” but what does that mean for you?

Sometimes it seems like your interests are pushed to the side while the insurance companies deal with the case.

Finding the right attorney to assert your rights for you is important. He or she can give you a voice when the insurance companies do not seem to want to listen you. You always have the right to hire an attorney, even if an insurance company is discouraging it. What other rights do you have?

1. The right to information.

Most of the case is going to involve an exchange of information. The insurance companies and your attorney will want to know your side of the story, what damages you have suffered, and any injuries you have sustained.

However, you should also be able to get similar information from the other side. In fact, the other side is required to give you certain information. Your attorney will review and analyze most of it, but you can also look through it.

2. The right to claim damages.

If you have been injured beyond your insurance policy limits in Florida, then you have the right to assert damages against the responsible party. Virtually every damage that you believe you have suffered is potentially compensable. Tell your attorney about everything.

3. The right to medical attention.

It seems logical that you receive medical attention in very serious car accidents, but you should also receive medical attention in some smaller crashes as well.

4. The right to understand your insurance coverage.

Some of our clients do not take a second look at their insurance coverage until after they are involved in an accident. They may not understand their policy and what it does and does not cover. Your attorney can explain coverage to you, even when your insurance company will not. You are paying for this coverage and this coverage is supposed to help you; you have a right to understand it.

5. The right to involve law enforcement.

Even if the other side is begging you not to call the police, you have a right to involve them at the scene of the accident. In fact, you generally should so you have a complete and accurate record of the accident. This police report can be great evidence for your case later.
