I got her a Policy Limits Settlement of $20,000.00 and $2,000.00 Diminished Value Settlement for the loss in resale value of her vehicle.



I got her a Policy Limits Settlement of $10,000.0 from the at-fault parties’ insurance, a Policy Limits Settlement of $10,000.00 from her underinsured motorist policy and $2,000.00 Diminished Value Settlement for the loss in resale value of her vehicle.
One of my recent clients was driving along A1A in Jacksonville Beach when she heard Emergency Services approaching the intersection in front of her. As she slowed down and stopped to wait for them to pass, she was rear-ended by another driver. The Emergency Services were headed to a call with lights flashing and in a hurry. When Emergency Services are flashing lights it is always required that you yield the right of way to them even if you have the green light at an intersection. The best practice is to cautiously but quickly get out of their way. If you have been in an accident I would highly suggest after contacting the local authorities, calling a Car Accident Lawyer.
Unfortunately, for my client the driver behind her was not watching where he was going and rear ended my client. At the scene of the accident my client was treated by emergency services and soon thereafter, went to the Hospital. She was examined for headaches and neck pain. This is very important because sometimes a head injury will not resignate until hours or days after the accident. After an accident, quite often the body is in shock and adrenaline is pumping to the body. Its a very similar physiological reaction that a soldier gets when they are shot in battle and don’t realize it until sometime after the injury. A head and brain injury absolutely should not neglected.
After an MRI was taken we could visibly her herniated and bulging discs. When I first submitted her claim to the insurance companies the insurer was not offering the full policy limits. Knowing the damage my clients injuries actually were, I was not going to counsel my client to settle for less then the full policy limits. This is why I would highly suggest that you contact a dedicated Car Accident Lawyer if you have been in an automobile collision. Unfortunately, for my client the policy limits were not more.
Please note that none of the foregoing is legal advice and if you have a legal matter you should most likely contact an attorney, even if you decide not to call me you should probably still get in contact with some lawyer.

What is The Drivers Exchange of Information?

Image
 If you are ever in the unfortunate circumstances of needing a car accident lawyer, you will most likely have received a Drivers Exchange of Information. When a person gets into a car accident most of the time the local authorities will respond to the scene. They arrive at the scene assess the situation and issue a drivers exchange of information. Why The Drivers Exchange of Information is Important. When the local authorities arrive on the scene they usually speak to each driver, passengers and any witnesses. The officer will typically collect information about every one they talk to and what the officers findings were. The officer will then put this information in a police report. Generally, the police report is not available immediately and cannot be obtained for a few days or even weeks after the accident. This is precisely why the drivers exchange of information is important. Because the drivers exchange of information is usually distributed to each driver at the scene of the acci

What Happens To My Vehicle After A Car Accident?

Image
  A common issue after a car accident is dealing with a damaged vehicle. As a general matter, when a client calls me and has a car accident claim, I first see if I can help them obtain medical treatment. Secondly, I get their vehicle addressed as quickly as possible. Because I understand that a car, at least in most parts of the Country, is an integral part of our lives. What happens to your vehicle after a car accident is dependent on the level of damage to the vehicle. Whether or not the vehicle was declared a total loss is an important determination. In any event, I also move the process along to get clients in rental vehicles after an accident quickly. What If My Car Is Repairable After A Car Accident?

Tractor Trailer Truck Accident

A Distribution Center is generally a central location that Semi-Trucks go to load and unload their Tractor Trailers. The case I worked on was where a tractor trailer truck driver was hit by another tractor trailer truck. If you have been in a Truck Accident, I would highly advise you contact a dedicate Truck Accident Lawyer .             The Distribution Center was a food distribution center for multiple major grocery stores in the area. The injured driver had just pulled out of the loading area for the facility. Typically, the truck drivers were supposed to drive out of the Distribution Centers loading area with the tractor trailer doors open so that the security guard at the exit could look in and check the trailer. Then, the truck driver was supposed to stop and go close the doors to the rear of the tractor trailer.             When the truck driver leaving the facility closed his tractor trailer doors he proceeded around the rear of the trailer to get back in t
