Motor Vehicle Accident

Motor vehicle accidents account for almost half of all brain injuries are the leading cause of brain injury in the United States. Here is an important "to do" list to follow if you have recently been involved in an automobile accident in Florida:

1. Notify your insurance company immediately. Do not delay this step as you could jeopardize your claim by failing to notify your carrier in time.

2. Check with police to make sure you have filled out all the necessary forms. Florida law requires that you file an accident report within a certain amount of days after the accident.

3. Have a physical checkup. Even if you were examined at the scene of the accident or at a nearby hospital, see your doctor for your own peace of mind.

4. As soon as possible after the accident, schedule an appointment with an attorney to discuss what you should be doing to protect your legal rights. It is very important to know your rights before giving any statements to insurance adjusters.
