First Steps After a Highlands County Accident

What you do immediately after a crash can significantly impact your claim.

1. Prioritize Safety & Call 911: Move to a safe location if possible. Report the accident to local authorities (Highlands County Sheriff or FHP).

2. Document the Scene: Take photos of damage, road conditions, skid marks, and visible injuries.

3. Exchange Information: Collect the other driver’s details—name, license, and insurance.

4. Seek Medical Attention Quickly: Florida’s 14‑day rule requires you to see a doctor within 14 days of the crash to access PIP benefits.

5. Avoid Recorded Statements: Politely decline to speak with the insurance adjuster.

6. Call a Sebring Car Accident Lawyer: Let us handle all communication with insurers while you focus on recovery.

Understanding Your Right to Compensation Under Florida Law

Navigating the legal process can be complex. We are here to guide you through it.

• Personal Injury Protection (PIP): As part of Florida’s “no-fault” system, your own PIP policy covers your initial medical bills (80%) and lost wages (60%) up to $10,000.

• Filing a Claim Against the At-Fault Driver: To get compensation for pain and suffering and costs beyond your PIP limits, we can file a claim against the at-fault driver. This requires proving your injury is "serious" under Florida law (e.g., a permanent injury).

• Modified Comparative Negligence: If you are found partially at fault, you can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.

• Statute of Limitations: In most Florida car accident cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit.

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

• Back and spinal injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal injuries

If you’ve been hurt in a Sebring car accident and your insurance claim has been denied, don’t try to handle it alone. A skilled car accident lawyer can protect your rights and work to secure the compensation you need to recover.

The Full Compensation We Fight For

Our goal is to recover compensation for every single loss you have suffered. This includes:

• Past and Future Medical Expenses
• Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity
• Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Distress
• Vehicle Repair or Replacement Costs
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life

What to Do if the Insurance Company Denies Your Claim

Most people expect their claim to be paid quickly. Unfortunately, insurance companies often deny claims—sometimes unfairly.

Common reasons for denial include:

• The other driver’s insurance lapsed or was canceled
• The insurer disputes the seriousness of your injuries
• Paperwork was filed incorrectly
• Liability is contested
• A history of prior claims raises suspicion

If your claim is denied, an experienced Sebring car accident lawyer can step in, demand answers, and fight denial tactics. If the insurer still refuses to pay, we are fully prepared to file a lawsuit—often prompting serious settlement negotiations.
