Boca Raton & West Palm Beach Auto Accident Lawyers

Car Crashes, Truck Accidents & Motorcycle Accidents throughout South Florida

While South Florida certainly has its perks, we also must contend with traffic congestion, road construction, and a high percentage of tourist and elderly drivers. A traffic accident (car, truck, motorcycle, etc.) can happen in an instant, no matter how careful you may be. Tragically, many of these accidents could have been prevented and often occur due to driver error, aggressive driving, text messaging or talking on cell phones. Seemingly continuous construction on I-95, the Florida Turnpike and other main roads and highways may also play a part. At Silver & Silver, we look to hold those responsible for our clients’ damages accountable.

When you are injured in an accident caused by someone with insufficient or no auto insurance, you can be left without reimbursement. It is imperative that you are prepared for an accident before it happens. Every single insurance company in the state of Florida that sells Bodily Injury (BI) coverage must offer Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage to its customers. We recommend that all our clients carry UM coverage. It is the only way to protect yourself and your family if you’re injured in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist.

Florida is a No-Fault state. This means that if you are injured in a motor vehicle crash, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is primarily responsible to pay your medical expenses, regardless of whether you were at fault, the other driver was at fault, or no one was at fault.

If you are injured in a motor vehicle crash in the State of Florida, the No-Fault Law requires that you be able to prove, by the greater weight of the evidence, that your injuries are serious enough to be considered either “permanent” or “continuing” in order to qualify to recover damages for pain and suffering and other types of non-economic damages.

Motor vehicle insurance claims may not be straightforward and may be confusing. If the insurance company tries to convince you that you do not need a lawyer… YOU NEED A LAWYER. In some cases, you may even need to fight your own insurance company to get JUSTICE. If you’ve been injured in an auto, truck or motorcycle accident, we may be able to help you
