Should I meet with an attorney after a car accident?

Yes. When you are involved in a car accident, it is important to consult with a Sarasota car accident lawyer quickly. When time passes after an accident, witnesses may forget important details or move away, evidence may be lost or destroyed, and other things can happen to prevent you from maximizing your recovery after a car accident.

An experienced Sarasota car accident attorney will meet with you to discuss the details of your accident, review the evidence, obtain police reports or surveillance footage and work with experts to determine the cause of the accident.

Accidents can be caused by a number of factors. Some of the most common causes are:

• Speeding
• Driving recklessly
• Driving while under the influence
• Running a red light
• Talking or texting while driving
• Tailgating
• Changing lanes in an unsafe manner
• Failing to obey other traffic rules

The attorneys at Carlson, Meissner, Hart and Hayslett, P.A. have experience working with car accident victims and performing detailed accident reconstruction analysis and reviewing medical records with our in-house analysts and experts. Our ability to reconstruct accidents and review medical records directly benefits you as we prepare a case for trial or settlement by expediting the claims process.

What type of compensation can you recover in a car accident?

It is important to know that even if you may be partially at fault in a car accident, you may still be able to recover compensation for your injuries. If you have suffered a serious injury as a result of a car accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for:

• Medical bills — Injuries caused by car accidents can be serious or even life-threatening. Even minor injuries may require costly treatment. Often, medical bills are high for car accident victims and health insurance may not cover all of these costs. You can seek to be reimbursed for medical bills by whomever caused the accident.
• Lost wages for missed time at work — Car accident victims are often forced to miss work due to their injuries because they are in the hospital or at home recuperating. You may recover both actual and lost wages that occur as a result of the accident.
• Damage to property — Costs for car repair can be high. Our accident attorneys ensure these costs are covered in your claim.
• Pain and suffering — Some victims of car accidents suffer from emotional distress following an accident. They may experience anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress. In addition, some victims suffer greatly from the physical injuries they sustain.

The time lost from work and the inability to perform regular tasks like before can be frustrating and disheartening. This suffering is compensable under Florida law. For more information about Florida auto accident laws and guidelines, see www. Leg.State.FL.US
