Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions & Answers

Here are some of the more common questions that we hear from our clients in Florida.

Why Retain A Car Accident Lawyer?

Accidents are deeply traumatic events. Aside from the physical pain you've sustained, you now must battle with the insurance company. With medical bills beginning to pile up, time lost from work, and the stress of it all weighing on your shoulders, you cannot be reasonably expected to handle your case to start to finish alone. But, it's not just the mental toll of a case that a trusted personal injury lawyer can relieve.
While your PIP benefits will cover up to your first $10,000 in damages, it will only compensate 60% of lost wages and 80% of medical bills. If you've sustained serious injuries, you know that coverage will not make enough of a dent in your past and future medical bills, time missed from work, and pain and suffering. A personal injury attorney will be able to help you to calculate a monetary amount for your damages to bring to the insurance company.
More often than not, the insurance company will put their own interests first, offering you minimal compensation or even moving to dismiss your case based on their findings. A trusted auto accident attorney can anticipate arguments and tactics used by the insurance company, and can use their extensive background in personal injury litigation to provide your case with a strong argument. A personal injury attorney will work day and night to protect your right to fair compensation.

How does the process of filing a property damage claim work

The process begins with documenting the damage, including taking photographs and gathering any relevant evidence. Next, you would contact your insurance company to report the incident and submit the claim. It's advisable to consult with a lawyer to ensure that all necessary steps are taken and that your rights are protected throughout the process.

What types of damages can be included in a property damage claim?

Damages can include the cost of repairs or replacement of the damaged property, loss of use of the property, and sometimes even emotional distress caused by the incident. The specific damages claimed will depend on the circumstances of each case.

How long do I have to file a property damage claim?

In the State of Florida, you have to file an insurance claim within four years of the damage. However, the deadline could be extended depending on when the damage was detected.

Can I file a property damage claim if I was at fault for the damage?

Every situation is different, so even if you were partially at fault, you might still be able to recover some damages. Your best bet is to consult with a lawyer about your claim to understand your rights.

What role does a lawyer play in a property damage claim?

A lawyer can guide you through the process of filing a claim, negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf, and represent you in court if necessary. They can also help ensure that you receive fair compensation for your damages.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for a property damage claim?

Our property damage representation is entirely contingent on our success. If we don't recover money from the insurance company, you won't pay a dime.

What information should I gather for my property damage claim?

You should gather as much evidence as possible, including photographs of the damage, repair estimates, receipts for any related expenses, and other documentation supporting your claim. A lawyer can advise you on what specific information will be most helpful for your case.
