Auto Accident
Have you been injured in an auto accident? Contacting a lawyer should always be at the top of your list. Waiting too long could result in an inability to get compensation for your injuries.
Even the smallest fender bender can result in damages and injuries. Never wait to get justice. Learn about your rights in Florida.
Contact Glassman & Zissimopulos to learn more about auto accidents and liability in the state of Florida.
No-Fault Carrier
Florida is a No-Fault insurance state, but that doesn’t mean drivers aren’t liable for causing damage or injuries. No-Fault insurance simply ensures that some portion of the damages resulting from a crash is covered by the insurance carriers regardless of the fault. However, if the other driver is found at fault, they can still be liable for compensation or damages based on your injuries.
Frequently Asked Questions about Car Accidents
What should I do if I am in an accident?
If you are injured, seek medical attention immediately. In most situations, the law requires you to notify law enforcement if there has been an accident. We advised calling law enforcement and making a record of the accident. Make sure to preserve evidence like pictures of crash damage, witness contact information, etc.
Florida law requires a person involved in an accident to cooperate with law enforcement who is investigating the crash. Other than those statements, you should seek the advice of an attorney before making any statements and specifically should not speak to any insurance companies without knowing your rights.
Recent changes in the law concerning personal injury protection benefits may result in the forfeiture of those benefits if you do not seek medical attention within 14 days from the date of your accident and receive documentation of an EMC (emergency medical condition) if it applies to you. If you have any questions, you can reach someone from our staff 24 hours a day at 352-505-4515 or 844-787-2543.
Will I have to pay anything up front for you to handle my car accident case?
No. Glassman & Zissimopulos handles your auto accident and injury cases on a contingency agreement. That means that if we take your case, then you do not have to pay any fees or costs for your accident or injury case unless we get a monetary resolution for you.
What type of auto insurance should I have to protect me if I am in an accident?
There are multiple auto insurance options. For our own family members, we typically recommend making sure that auto insurance coverage includes the following: property and personal injury protection (if you have auto insurance, then you have these coverages); liability insurance coverage; uninsured/under insured motorist coverage; comprehensive and collision and med-pay. If you have any questions about your auto insurance, please call us for a no-fee consultation.
