Our experienced auto & pedestrian accident attorneys at Consumer Law Attorneys will help guide you through the whole process so that you can receive the full compensation you deserve. We will:
Our office works together as a team with personnel skilled in different areas to help gather information and prepare for every case.
We also use forensics engineers and accident reconstruction experts when needed to deliver a clear picture of the accident and nurse practitioners to review and interpret medical records on complex injuries. These experts are available during trial to deliver testimonies on your behalf.
After a serious car or pedestrian accident, the initial shock gives way to a difficult reality. You’re dealing with injuries, mounting medical bills, and calls from insurance adjusters. You may be worried that you didn’t do everything perfectly in the chaos of the accident scene. That’s okay. Your focus was where it should have been—on your health. Now, our focus is on protecting your rights by building a powerful case for the compensation you deserve.
Proving what happened and who is responsible is the first step. You might be concerned if you weren’t able to take photos or get witness information. Our legal team takes over this burden immediately. We dispatch investigators to document the scene, search for nearby surveillance cameras that may have captured the crash, and track down witnesses who saw what happened. We use this proof to show how the other driver failed to drive safely, violating their duties under Florida law.
The second, equally important step is proving the full extent of your injuries. Your most important job right now is to follow your doctor’s treatment plan. This is not just for your health but also for the strength of your claim. Florida law is very specific about this. To be eligible for your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, you generally must receive initial medical treatment within 14 days of the accident.
Some injuries, like those involving the spine or a concussion, may not show their full severity for hours or even days. Waiting to see a doctor or failing to follow through with care gives the insurance company an excuse to argue your injuries aren’t serious or weren’t caused by the accident. While you focus on healing, our team gets to work gathering every medical bill, doctor’s note, and treatment record. These documents become the primary proof we use to show the physical, emotional, and financial toll the accident has taken on your life.
This is how a strong case is built: by combining accident evidence with clear medical proof. Don’t worry about what you should have done in those first chaotic moments. Let us handle the details of building your case so you can focus on what matters most—your recovery.
When you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for all of your losses, not just the most obvious bills. These losses are called “damages,” and our job is to identify and calculate their full and fair value to ensure you receive the amount you are truly owed. Damages are typically broken down into two main categories: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are the financial losses with a clear and specific dollar amount attached to them. They are the tangible costs that can be documented with bills, receipts, and financial statements. We work to account for every single expense you have now and will have in the future.
This includes every bill from the hospital, ambulance transport, doctor’s appointments, surgery, and any time spent in an intensive care unit. It also covers ongoing costs like chiropractic care, physical therapy, and prescription medications. Critically, we also calculate the cost of medical care you may need for the rest of your life, such as additional surgeries, in-home care, or assistive medical devices.
This is the income you have already lost from being unable to work while recovering from your injuries. We will gather your pay stubs and employment information to document the exact amount of money you have missed out on. This includes not just your base salary but also any lost tips, commissions, or bonuses.
If your injury is severe enough that it prevents you from returning to your old job or limits your ability to earn a living in the long term, you can be compensated for that lost potential. We work to show the difference between what you would have earned and what you can earn now, projecting this loss over your expected working lifetime.
This is the most straightforward damage, covering the cost to fully repair or replace your vehicle after the accident. It also includes compensation for any other personal property damaged or destroyed in the crash, such as a laptop, cell phone, or car seat.
Non-economic damages are for harms that do not have a specific price tag but are just as real and devastating. These damages compensate you for the human cost of the accident and are often the most significant part of a serious injury claim.
This provides compensation for the physical pain, discomfort, and general suffering you have experienced because of your injuries. It acknowledges the difficult and painful process of recovery, both from the initial trauma and from any subsequent medical procedures you must endure.
An accident can leave deep emotional scars. This compensates you for the emotional distress, anxiety, depression, fear, sleep loss, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that often follows a traumatic event. It recognizes the significant mental toll an accident can take.
Serious injuries can stop you from participating in the hobbies, activities, and relationships you once enjoyed. Whether you can no longer play with your children, go for a run, engage in a favorite sport, or simply enjoy a day without pain, you deserve to be compensated for this profound loss.
This provides compensation for permanent scars, burns, or other physical changes that affect your appearance and self-confidence. It acknowledges the daily emotional impact of being left with a permanent and unwanted reminder of the accident.
