MIAMI, FL, September 30, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Intersection auto accidents are among one of the most difficult types of auto accidents to prove liability in. Serious questions will arise in these accidents about the actions and contributory negligence of each party. If your injuries are minor, fault will not matter in a no-fault state like Florida, but when your injuries are serious and result in medical bills beyond your PIP coverage, it is crucial to get an attorney who can help establish fault after the fact.
Knowing this, insurance companies will actively discourage you from hiring an auto accident attorney. They know that if they can prevent you from hiring legal representation, they can minimize the amount of money they will have to pay for your damages.
Injuries in Intersection Auto Accidents
The injuries sustained in intersection auto accidents are often severe. Common injuries in these accidents include:
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Death
These injuries may require both emergency and ongoing medical care, and can significantly reduce your quality of life and ability to provide for yourself and your family. Dealing with insurance alone will almost certainly result in inadequate compensation, making an experienced auto accident attorney necessary to ensure you are treated fairly, and provided with the full compensation you are due.
Why Hire an Attorney
When you are involved in an accident, you need an advocate on your side who will thoroughly investigate the cause of your accident, and help establish liability. In Florida, even if you were partially to blame for your accident, you may still be entitled to recover a portion of your damages. Your attorney will be able to determine where fault should lie, and pursue the full amount of compensation you are entitled to. Your attorney will also deal with your insurance company, making sure you are not intimidated or coerced into accepting a settlement that is less than you deserve.
Without an attorney, you may be forced to accept a settlement that leaves you responsible for a large portion of your damages. You deserve better. An aggressive car accident attorney will assess the total extent of your damages, and work to get you the full compensation you deserve.
