Car AccidentsAttention Car Accident Victims: You have rights after an accident.

The Florida No-Fault Law (also known as PIP) applies to anyone who is a pedestrian and anyone operating, while a passenger in, or getting in or out of a car or truck. As a result, there is usually a readily available source of money to pay your medical bills and lost wages after a crash. However, if PIP is applicable to your car or truck accident, and in Florida it usually is applicable, you have the right to seek compensation for your injury in court by proving a permanent injury to your body has occurred. A permanent injury can be proven by testimony from your treating physician, showing the loss of a limb, loss of eyesight, scarring or any other permanent loss of an important bodily function. Wrongful death cases are discussed below and special laws and time limits apply to them.

At the Martindale Law Group, we seek to maximize the recovery of car accident victims. For example, many people do not realize that often your automobile policy's Uninsured Motorist coverage (or the auto policy of a relative in a household) will cover you if you are hit by a car or truck without insurance or without enough insurance. We are here to help you with your claim and we will seek any and all sources of recovery so you and your family can try to put your life back together.

IF your loved one is killed in a car accident, please do not delay in seeking our help. Under Florida's Wrongful Death Act, the executor of the Estate has only two years from the date of death to file a lawsuit, or recovery is forever barred by the statute of limitations. (Ordinary negligence cases not resulting in death are subject to a four-year statute of limitations.) You must act promptly to protect the interests of the spouse and dependent children of those killed in accidents, whether on a motorcycle, in a car, or while a pedestrian.

We are here to help and to make sure your rights and the rights of your loved ones are protected. Please call us for a free evaluation of your car accident case.
