GEICO Car Accident Claims Injury Lawyer In Miami

GEICO Car Accident Claims Injury Lawyer In Miami

It is mandatory for all cars on the road to have auto insurance coverage. The high accident rate in the United States places much more importance on being covered whenever you get behind the wheel.

Hit-and-run deaths hit a record high, according to a study by the American Automobile Association (AAA), with over 682,000 accidents having been reported on US roadways every year since 2006. Although auto accidents may or may not cause injuries or property damage, it is never easy to identify the responsible party, file a claim against them, and win a case all in one go. Many insurance providers, including GEICO, work to minimize compensation when severe injuries or damages are involved. This can be devastating to the victims since, as highlighted by the US Department of Transportation’s 2016 fatal traffic crash report, most of the people killed in accidents – motorcyclists and pedestrians account for 65% of accident deaths – are often innocent and may not have recourse to the finances needed to get their lives back on track after an accident that wasn’t even their fault.

What Steps Should You Take After an Accident?

Whether you’re the at-fault motorist or the victim of a car crash, you should do the following:

  1. Check if you suffered any injuries, including the types that may only show up several days after the accident, such as back injuries.
  2. Note important information concerning the accident, such as the names of potential witnesses and other motorists involved in or at the scene of the accident.
  3. Avoid giving your opinion to anyone about the accident except your lawyer and provide paperwork when asked for it without discussing the crash itself.
  4. Ensure you have a police report even if the crash was minor.
  5. Immediately inform your insurance company about the accident.
  6. Avoid signing any legal documents unless they are for the police.

Personal Injury Lawsuits in Florida

Depending on your situation, a lawyer can help you recover additional compensation through a personal injury claim. Car accident victims that have over $10,000 in lost wages and medical costs can sue the motorist liable for damages that are not covered by their policy. In such cases, you can recover payment for lost wages, past and future medical costs, and lost earning potential.

Under Florida law, you can also use a personal injury claim to obtain additional compensation if you’ve sustained serious injuries such as disability, disfigurement, or the death of a loved one. You can also seek damages for intangible losses such as suffering and pain.

How to Fight Geico When They Lower the Value of Your Case

Contact our GEICO injury lawyers in Miami to deal with issues regarding low and unfair payment settlements and for issues regarding lien payments. When it comes to medical care and health-related expenses, we will send a letter to the hospital in question, informing them that we are representing you and that they are not authorized to negotiate medical bills with anyone.

Any attempt by the hospital to negotiate its expenses after being issued a letter from our offices will expose the hospital or insurance provider to liability due to interference with a lawyer-client contract. A lawsuit can also be filed against GEICO if they interfere with this contract in any way.
