Legal Rights of a Personal Injury Victim in Case they are Not a Resident of Florida
You will definitely have legal rights to a financial recovery, but that would depend on the nature of your crash and the specifics and facts of your accident. Whether you are in an auto accident down the street from your residence or a few miles away from your home, you should still be covered by your insurance policy. Most policies extend across the country to cover drivers even when they are in out-of-town accidents.
In order to know what your legal rights are after a car crash, you should review your accident and ask yourself some hard-hitting questions. Did your own negligence or distraction cause the accident? Was another driver at fault for the crash? If you were responsible for the accident, it is more than likely that you won’t have a claim against the other driver and his/her insurance company. But your own car insurance coverage will cover your damages and medical bills. If the other driver was at fault, you should have the same legal rights to compensation as Florida residents have. You can pursue a personal injury claim to make a financial recovery for your medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering and other damages.
Regardless of who is a fault in the crash, it is important that you tend to your medical needs immediately, even while you’re visiting from out-of-town. If you fail to obtain medical attention, the insurance company will question the validity of your claim and will attempt to settle for a lower amount.
Defective Car Tire – Who is At Fault?
A tire blow-out while driving your car can be scary, especially if there are no visible signs as to why it happened. The tire may be in a bad condition, mangled or shredded with no other signs, which will make you believe that it was defective.
In worst cases, a tire blow out can make a vehicle lose control and cause serious injuries or even death to those in the car as well as others on the road. If the defective tire is the cause of the blow-out, it is important that you contact a personal injury lawyer who has the essential experience in handling defective tire cases and other car accident injury claims.
Have your tire inspected by a professional who can find out if the tire was defective. An inspection will ensure you are better equipped to pursue a claim.
If you find out your tire was defective after the inspection, a skilled personal injury attorney such as Mark Schiffrin P.A. will help you recover damages from the tire manufacturer, retailer or dealer who sold you the tire. Damages may include financial compensation if you were injured, loss of income, medical fees and more.
Choosing a Lawyer for Your Personal Injury Case
It can be a mind-boggling experience to try and choose the right lawyer for your case. In order to know if you are choosing the right person to handle your claim, the lawyer you speak to must meet with a series of questions. Asking questions will help you learn more about the lawyer and be able to determine if you think they’re suitable to deal with your case.
Questions you may ask your lawyer:
• Do you currently handle cases which are like mine?
• Which verdicts or settlements have you obtained in similar cases?
• Are you representing me or passing on the case to someone else?
• Since when have you been practicing personal injury law in Broward County?
• Please describe your background in detail?
• What is your experience as a trial attorney?
• Will my case settle or go to trial?
• Will you obtain my medical records from doctors/meds?
• Do you visit the accident scene?
• Do you take assistance from investigators and medical experts?
• How much are the fees you charge? Do you accept cases on a contingency basis?
• Who is my point of contact and how often will I hear from your law firm?
There are various questions you may ask a lawyer to find out how long he has been practicing law, if he has the experience to deal with your claim, the expertise you are seeking and if you are comfortable with him.
