Our office evaluation of fault and coverage includes:
- Obtaining the police report, photographs of the scene and vehicles
- Securing witnesses statements
- Consulting with industry experts, when appropriate
- Determining vehicle ownership
- Whether the at-fault driver’s vehicle was being used on behalf of an employer when the accident occurred
- Insurance coverage liability
- Road conditions
- Vehicle condition
In some cases, the available insurance coverage of the at-fault party is not adequate to pay for your damages. An investigation as to whether or not the at-fault driver has excess coverage or umbrella coverage may be necessary.
The evaluation of damages includes:
- Evaluating all medical records and medical bills
- Obtaining reports from treating physicians to address future medical needs and future medical expenses
- Consulting with medical experts, when appropriate
Damages that are normally recoverable in a motor vehicle accident in Florida include:
- Medical expenses in the past
- Medical expenses that are reasonably likely in the future
- Past and future lost income or wages
- Injury, pain, disability, disfigurement, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life
- Aggravation or exacerbation of a physical condition
- Replacement value of lost personal property
- Funeral expenses
Some cases present facts that may enable our clients to seek recovery for punitive damages. In rare instances, punitive damages can be awarded by Florida courts when the behavior by the at-fault party is so outrageous that Florida law allows for the award of monetary damages to punish or make an example of intentional misconduct or gross negligence. A case that would include an evaluation for exemplary damages includes an accident caused by a drunk driver.
