2023 Car Accident Settlement Example

$210,000/Car Accident/2023

Before her accident, our client had multiple injuries caused by numerous prior car accidents. On the day of the accident, she was riding as a passenger in her relative’s car when she was involved in a minor, side-swipe-type collision. The impact occurred to the driver’s side door. Our client sustained an aggravation of her pre-existing lower back injury which required some conservative treatment to help her recover to her pre-accident condition.

We made a demand on the defendant’s insurance company, and we also sent a demand package to our client’s uninsured motorist carrier. The defendant’s insurance company offered $60,000.00 to settle the claim while our client’s insurance company argued that the value of the case was less than the defendant’s policy limits and, therefore, they owed nothing.

We did not accept the defendant’s offer and instead filed a lawsuit. The case was extensively litigated with both sides engaging in discovery including depositions of witnesses. Before the mediation conference was scheduled, our client’s uninsured motorist company paid its policy limit of $10,000.00. Thereafter, a long mediation took place in which the defendant’s insurance company increased its offer to $100,000.00. We rejected their offer and continued to negotiate hard. Ultimately, they agreed to pay $200,000.00 which together with the $10,000.00 our client had already received, fairly compensated her for her damages. Our client was very pleased with the outcome. This was a good result in a case with several challenges including pre-existing injuries and a minor impact on our client’s vehicle.

Do I Need a Lawyer for a Car Accident Settlement?

A Florida driver’s legally mandated personal injury insurance only covers 80% of their medical costs and 60% of lost wages. The personal injury insurance caps benefits at $10,000 for medical and disability benefits and up to $5,000 for wrongful death.

Because medical bills and lost wages from a car accident usually exceed those limits, the injured party is likely to sue. The driver responsible for the accident (or their insurance company) should pay for the injuries they caused.

This is just a small portion of the complicated amount of information you need to know, understand, and utilize to ensure your car accident settlement is adequate to your present and future needs. If you experienced a car accident, we absolutely think you should get a Florida car accident lawyer to help with your case. Over the past 30 years, our Riverview car accident attorneys have represented over 20,000 injured victims and won millions of dollars of compensation.

What Should You Do After a Car Accident in Riverview?

Immediately after a car crash, prioritize your safety by dialing 911. Ensure you request both police and medical support. Your health and safety are paramount.

Once you’ve alerted emergency services and while waiting for them, if circumstances permit, consider the following steps to strengthen any potential car accident claim:

  1. Remain at the accident site until law enforcement arrives. Refrain from admitting any blame. Provide an accurate account of the incident to the police, avoiding embellishments. If the police do not show up, you can file a police report in Riverview, FL. If you are wondering how long you have to file a police report – you have up to 10 days after the incident. Read our guide on how to get a Riverview police report online.
  2. Engage with the other driver to obtain their insurance details and contact information. Snap photos of this information and their license plate. Remember, never admit responsibility or express regret for the incident.
  3. Document the scene. Capture photos or videos of the damages to both vehicles and any surrounding property. This might include tire skid marks on the roadway.
  4. If there are bystanders who witnessed the event, collect their contact details. Avoid delving into accident specifics with them; stick to the facts.
  5. Before reaching out to your insurance provider, consult with a Riverview car accident attorney to discuss the nuances of your case.
