The pain, potential for lifelong disabilities, extensive rehab, and missed work after a car accident can be overwhelming. But the situation can get even worse if the person who hit you has little or no insurance. It can mean you get stuck with all the medical and property damage bills even if the accident wasn’t your fault. That’s why virtually every car accident lawyer in Tampa, Orlando, Pasco, and beyond recommends that you invest in uninsured and underinsured motorist protection.
This insurance will pay for some or all of the property damage and medical costs associated with the crash, depending on the limits of your policy. Without it, the only protection most Florida drivers have is $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 property damage liability (PDL) insurance, as required by state law. If your accident caused grave injuries and/or totaled your vehicle, it’s likely that insurance will only cover a fraction of your costs, leaving you to pay out of pocket for the rest.
Whether you have this insurance or not, it’s best to hire a car accident lawyer immediately after a collision to help you:
- Obtain any available insurance benefits from your insurance company or another driver’s.
- File lawsuits against those who caused your pain and suffering.
- Deal with insurance companies that may want to interview you and record statements.
- Maximize any settlement you receive.
