Steps to Take After a Personal Injury Accident

Involving in a personal injury accident can be confusing, scary, and painful, especially when a negligent party leads to misfortune. Unfortunately, the steps or actions you take after the accident affects your personal injury suit. To protect your rights and increase your compensation chances after a personal injury accident, follow these steps:

Call 911: In any personal injury accident, it is important to contact the police to prepare a police report and access emergency medical services. Contacting 911 also helps determine the negligent party.
Seek medical attention: Consulting a medical doctor is essential after a personal injury accident to ascertain the extent of your injuries and get a medical report. If you suffer extensive injuries, calling an ambulance at the scene can help you access medical help faster.
Gather evidence and documentation: Collect relevant evidence, including police records, witnesses’ statements, contact information, medical records, and photographs of the scene. This documentation comes in handy during your personal injury claim to help prove negligence and recover benefits.
Never admit fault: It is essential to avoid speaking about the accident, mainly at the scene, since it can be used as evidence against you. Instead, seek legal representation and only provide information about the case when your lawyer is present.
Hire an experienced Brevard County personal injury lawyer: Insurance companies and defendants often have legal counsel who helps provide legal representation against plaintiffs who file a personal injury claim against them. Hiring your lawyer enables you to file a lawsuit against the defendant and increases your chances of obtaining compensation.

Determining Liability in a Personal Injury Case

In Florida, victims must prove the other party was responsible for the injuries or accident in a personal injury case to recover benefits. Working with a Brevard County personal injury lawyer can help investigate the claim and hold the negligent party accountable. Since the other party’s insurance company will conduct their investigation, a personal injury lawyer at Andrew Pickett Law can collect the relevant evidence and determine liability.

Proving negligence in a personal injury case in Brevard County is critical since it shows that the other party’s actions or behavior led to your injuries. Our personal injury lawyer can help prove the following four elements of negligence in a personal injury case:

Duty of care: The at-fault individual or entity owed a duty of care.
Breach of duty: The at-fault individual or entity breached the legal duty of care.
Causation: The breach of duty of care led to the accident or actions leading to personal injuries.
Damages: The accident or injuries caused damages to the victim, including medical bills, property damage, and more.

Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Brevard County

While it is important to file a personal injury claim against a negligent party, the process can be time-confusing, complex, and confusing. Hiring a Brevard County personal injury lawyer can help ease the process, enabling you to have the necessary documentation and follow the required process. In addition, working with a personal injury lawyer at Andrew Pickett Law helps increase your chances of obtaining benefits.

Typically, Florida has a four-year time of limitations for personal injury claims, where victims of personal injury accidents must file lawsuits within the applicable deadline. Failure to file your personal injury suit within the statute of limitations will make your claim ineligible for compensation. Hence, it is essential to hire a Brevard County personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the accident or injury.

Common Causes of Personal Injury Accidents in Brevard County

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Florida is among the top states with the most fatal crashes in the United States. This means that thousands of people suffer personal injuries from road crashes annually.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"

Rebecca Collura

If you are reading this you may have been in a car accident which I am sure has disrupted your life as it did mine. Dealing with your insurance company will be impossible and their goal is to give you the least amount of money possible regardless of your injuries. It is a slow process and you have to be patient. Andrew Pickett will work extremely hard to get you enough money to take care of past and potential future expenses. He is extremely good at what he does and his support staff are attentive and responsive as well. Personally I wouldn't be a number at one of those big firms that advertise on TV. Andrew was completely involved in my case and took great care of me. Stay strong, I pray the pain will lessen for you, and let Andrew fight for you!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Rebecca! What a thoughtful review. It was an honor to represent you.

Sandra Musgrave
