A Must Read Before Filing a Florida Auto Accident Claim

Were you injured in a car accident in Florida?  If you answered “yes,” you need to read the article, “Filing a Florida Car Accident Insurance Claim.”  A car accident is un-chartered territory for most of us and the whole claims process can be overwhelming.

After a Florida auto accident, you need to notify your insurance company.  However, if there were serious injuries from the crash, you should contact a St. Petersburg car accident attorney first.  A lawyer can make sure that you rights are protected and that you are fairly compensated for your injuries.

Once the insurance company has received report of your accident, you will be contacted by an insurance adjuster.  The adjuster will complete an investigation into the collision and may ask you for information. An insurance adjuster usually looks at medical records and the police report and may even talk to witnesses to the accident.  This investigation will help the adjuster determine the amount of settlement in which you will be offered.

Be aware that the insurance adjuster has a settlement range to work with and will most likely start at the low end.  If you feel that you cannot come to a resolution with the insurance company or if the insurer is being uncooperative, you may want to ask for assistance from an injury lawyer in St. Petersburg.
