What Should You Do After You’ve Been in a Car Accident?

When you have been involved in a car crash in Pembroke Pines, you can best protect your legal rights to recover compensation for expenses and losses by taking the following steps:

Try to take photos or video of the accident scene and the vehicles involved in the crash, if you can do so.
Go to the hospital or see a doctor as soon as possible following the accident to undergo a physical exam for any injuries you may have suffered in the accident.
Follow any treatment instructions or recommendations you receive. If you put off treating your injuries, you may make your condition worse and jeopardize your rights to financial recovery.
Keep copies of any bills, invoices, or receipts for expenses that you incur due to your injuries or vehicle damage. If you miss work during your recovery, also make sure to have your pay stubs or tax returns as well.
Avoid posting about the accident on social media, or posting photos or videos of yourself while you are still treating or rehabbing your injuries. Your social media posts might be used by the insurance company to undermine your compensation claims.

Finally, make time to sit down with a Pembroke Pines car accident lawyer from Feingold & Posner, P.A. to discuss the next steps you and our firm can take to pursue accountability from the driver or other parties at fault for the accident.

About Pembroke Pines, FL

Pembroke Pines is a city located in Broward County, Florida. A suburb of Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Pembroke Pines is the fourth most populous municipality in the Miami metropolitan area. Pembroke Pines, incorporated in 1960, got its name from Sir Edward Reed, a member of the British Parliament for the County of Pembroke who in the 1880s purchased a tract of over 2 million acres in South Florida, which included the area that is present-day Pembroke Pines. The city experienced rapid population growth in the 1990s due to Miami-Dade County residents moving northward following Hurricane Andrew, with significant development in the western half of the city. In the early 2000s, Pembroke Pines was home to the most dangerous intersection in America, as rated by State Farm Insurance, at the intersection of Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road.

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Accidents in Pembroke Pines

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after being involved in a car accident?

Under Florida’s statute of limitations for car accidents, you normally have four years from the date of a car accident to file a lawsuit against a negligent driver or another liable party. In limited cases, you may have longer to file; a Pembroke Pines car accident lawyer can help you determine when the statute of limitations may expire on your claim. If you file suit after the limitations period has passed, your lawsuit will likely end up being dismissed by the court.

How much does a Pembroke Pines car accident lawyer cost to hire?

At Feingold & Posner, P.A., we assist victims of car accidents on a contingency fee basis. That means you will not need to pay our firm fees upfront to hire us for your case. We are paid only if we secure compensation for you in a negotiated settlement or by winning a verdict in your favor at trial. We understand the financial difficulties that you may be under when recovering from a car accident, so there is no risk to you in getting the legal representation you need to pursue your claims for compensation.

Will I have to go to trial?

We cannot predict at the start of your case whether your car accident claim will end up going to trial. Most car accident cases are resolved through a negotiated settlement. However, several factors can make it more likely that your case will go to court or trial, including the severity of your injuries and whether you may have suffered permanent disability, the amount of compensation you have claimed, and whether liability or your share of fault for the accident is in dispute. While we work quickly to resolve your case and get you the fair compensation you deserve as soon as possible, we will always advise when we think that going to court and trial is the best option for getting the result you deserve in your case.

Can I file a claim if I was partly at fault for the car accident?

Yes. For car accident claims, Florida follows what is known as the “pure” comparative fault rule. This rule says that an injured party’s share of fault for causing their own injury will not serve as a bar to their claim for compensation against another at-fault party. You can pursue a claim in Florida regardless of your share of fault compared to the other party’s share. However, under the rule, your compensation may be reduced so that you bear a share of your expenses and losses from your injuries in proportion to your percentage of responsibility for the accident.

Do I need an attorney if I want to accept the insurance company’s offer?

Though you might be inclined to take a quick settlement to get badly needed funds for medical expenses, car repairs, and lost wages, you should always consult with a Pembroke Pines car accident lawyer before accepting an insurance settlement. A lawyer can review a settlement offer and the details of your case to advise you if the offer will pay you fair compensation for your claim. If not, your lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to pursue a better settlement that provides you with the financial recovery you deserve.
