If you’ve been hurt in a Florida car accident and it’s the other driver’s fault, it is highly recommended that you do not attempt to resolve your case with the other person’s insurance company without contacting an attorney.
You have to understand that the other person’s insurance company is not your friend. They are not going to take care of you. It’s their job to pay you as little as possible. If you speak to a competent personal injury attorney, you can fully understand the value of your case, things you may not have considered. Your unpaid medical bills, your future medical care needs, your lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to resolve your case with the other person’s insurance company without first speaking to a competent personal injury attorney.
