In Florida, every driver is required by law to have PIP Insurance. Personal Injury Protection is used to cover your medical bills. If you do not seek medical treatment within 14 days and receive an emergency medical condition, you will not have access to more than $2,500 of your benefits. If you did receive an EMC, PIP can cover up to 80% of your medical expenses or up to 60% of your lost wages. The full PIP amount is $10,000.
Personal Injury Protection can be used to pay for your medical expenses when you have been involved in a car accident. When receiving an Emergency Medical Condition, this would mean you require medical attention or else it can result in a permanent injury. Most insurance companies want to classify injuries as not serious in order to devalue your claim. Car accidents are traumatic and can cause permanent injuries. Seeking medical attention after your car accident is imperative.
As stated previously, car accidents can cause permanent injuries. PIP benefits will not be able to cover you when it comes to these types of injuries. A mere $10,000 in benefits that covers only up to $8,000 of medical expenses will not be able to take care of your injuries for the rest of your life.
But the question is, should you sue? It depends on what our team estimates the value of your case. There are many factors that come into play, such as future medical expenses, future lost wages, lost wages, loss of a loved one, funeral expenses, pain, and suffering. After taking into account all of this into the estimate, more than likely the answer is generally yes.

An attorney that specializes in handling personal injury cases has the experience needed in order to navigate the mysterious car insurance claims. Most people do not know what their benefits are or simply just do not know what to do after they have been involved in a car accident. Most insurance companies want their insured to keep paying their premiums, without having to pay out in claims.
It is simple business, the less claims they have to pay out on, the more money they make. Car insurance adjusters get bonuses for not paying out claims to accident victims. This is a well known fact in the car insurance industry and many people do not know this. Therefore, the insurance adjuster will give you a low ball offer.

Getting the maximum compensation and the right care is the most important when hiring a car accident attorney. This is why you should hire a car accident attorney to help you with your claim.
