We Can Help You Seek Compensation After a Florida Car Accident

Our Fort McCoy personal injury attorneys have one goal—getting every dollar our clients deserve. If you or someone you love suffered an injury in a motor vehicle accident in Florida, we will fight for full and fair compensation. We can pursue your damages with the following:

A Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Claim

Florida’s no-fault insurance system requires that most motorists carry first-party personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. According to Florida Statutes § 627.736, you must have at least $10,000 in medical and disability benefits, which cover the following after a car accident, regardless of liability for the crash:

• Eighty percent of all “reasonable and necessary” medical expenses, including ambulance transportation, surgeries, hospitalizations, rehabilitative services, and nursing
• Sixty percent of your lost gross income and loss of earning capacity

PIP policies must also include a minimum of $5,000 in death benefits for accidents involving fatal injuries.

A Liability Claim or Personal Injury Lawsuit

If you suffered a severe or permanent car accident injury or your loved one was fatally injured, you can step outside the no-fault system and seek compensation from a liable driver.

Our attorneys can help you establish that another driver’s negligence caused your serious injuries. We may be able to recover damages you cannot obtain through PIP, including compensation for:

• All of your current and future medical expenses
• All of your lost income, lost employment benefits, and lost earning capacity
• Vehicle repair or replacement costs
• Household services
• Physical pain and suffering
• Disabling injuries
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Mental and emotional suffering
• Lost quality of life
• Wrongful death of a loved one, including tangible and intangible losses

What Our Fort McCoy Car Accident Lawyers Can Do to Manage Your Case

At Meldon Law, we take on your fight like it was our own. Our law firm limits the number of cases we handle, so our attorneys have the time and energy to give you the focus you deserve.

Our Fort McCoy car accident lawyers can:

Gather Evidence to Support Your Case

We can investigate your car accident and collect evidence to validate your claims for compensation. During the investigation, we might:

• Visit the accident scene
• Take photographs and video
• Collect physical debris
• Obtain available cell phone, dash cam, traffic cam, or surveillance footage of the crash
• Locate and interview eyewitnesses
• Gather medical records and police reports
• Enlist the help of experts, including physicians and crash reconstruction specialists, when needed

Identify Liable Parties

We can use the evidence to identify who or what caused the collision. In most cases, the liable party will be another driver. However, fault could rest with a driver’s employer, a negligent mechanic, or an entity responsible for roadway maintenance.

Handle Insurance Claims

We will prepare and file your no-fault and auto liability insurance claims. Once we initiate your claim, we will handle all related phone calls, meetings, and emails, review settlement offers, and protect you from bad-faith tactics or pressure to settle for less.

Aggressively Negotiate for Every Dollar You Deserve

Insurance companies, even your own PIP provider, often put profits above people and look for reasons to deny claims or reduce settlements. We will tirelessly pursue the maximum compensation possible through all available options, including a personal injury lawsuit. We are a force to be reckoned with, inside and outside the courtroom.

Keep You Informed

When you work with us, we listen to your story and explain your legal options in plain English, not legalese! We provide timely and frequent case updates and have authored blogs, books, and free consumer guides to help answer all our clients’ questions.

Our Car Accident Results Speak for Themselves

Our case building has yielded significant settlements and verdicts for car accident victims, including:

• $1.5 million for a client injured in a t-bone car accident
• $500,000 for a client injured in a head-on collision caused by an aggressive, high-speed driver
• $450,000 for a client who suffered serious injuries in a rear-end collision
• $250,000 for a client who suffered injuries while riding as a passenger after another driver failed to yield the right of way
• $250,000 for a client who suffered serious injuries after being struck by a commercial vehicle
• $200,000 for a client injured by a hit-and-run driver

How Long Do You Have to Pursue a Car Accident Case?

You should seek medical treatment and notify your insurance provider about your accident immediately. Florida’s PIP laws mandate that you see a doctor within 14 days of your crash injury to receive coverage. You should also file liability claims as soon as possible.

If we must file a lawsuit to obtain the compensation you deserve, Florida Statute § 95.11 allows two years to pursue personal injury and wrongful death cases. You will likely be unable to take your case to court and lose your insurance bargaining power if the statute of limitations expires. We can help you get started before it’s too late.
