Filing an Auto Accident Lawsuit

About three million people receive injuries from car accidents in the US each year. From that, two million receive permanent injuries or disabilities from their experience. Often, these injuries result from a situation that isn’t the fault of the injured party. Luckily, state and federal laws allow people who were injured in an auto accident to seek restitution in the form of a lawsuit. Auto accident cases are a subsection of personal injury law. These laws, in turn, are dictated by state and federal tort law and other types of regulations. However, these regulations take years of study and real-world experience to truly master. By hiring a lawyer, you can greatly increase your chances of winning your auto accident claim.

Medical bills
Rehabilitation expenses
Wages from missed work
Long-term disability costs
Financial loss from permanent disability
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage (to your car or other assets)

If you have any questions about what kinds of costs you can make a claim on in a car accident, ask a lawyer. The Wheeler Law Office provides a consultations to determine what your case may be worth.

Call Today to Speak to an Auto Accident Attorney

When you file an auto accident lawsuit, as with any kind of personal injury claim, you’ll need to establish two important facts:

Fault – you’ll need to prove that the defendant is at least partially responsible for the accident. To do this, you’ll need to gather evidence from police and insurance reports, as well as statements from any witnesses. In Florida, the court may find that more than one party at fault for an accident. In this case, you’ll only be able to recover a portion of the damages you’re claiming.
Negligence – you’ll also need to prove that the defendant knowingly disregarded safety in the pursuit of their actions. If you can prove both fault and negligence, you’ll win your case.

It can be difficult to prove both of these factors, however. That’s why it’s so crucial to hire a lawyer to represent you in a car accident case.

I referred a client to Ms. Wheeler because I had heard about her aggressive style and her exceptional ability to get positive results for her clients. Therefore, I sent her a personal injury matter wherein the Plaintiff was catastrophically injured and the issues were particularly complex. And I just got a call from that client thanking me profusely for sending him to Ms. Wheeler because she went up against the insurance companies and got them to settle quickly without it dragging on like most cases. Ms. Wheeler is an exceptional attorney who treats her clients with compassion and fights for their interests vigorously. I will be referring more clients to her.
