If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Florida, knowing when to reach out to a lawyer can make a significant difference in your recovery. At Warner & Fitzmartin, we emphasize the importance of acting quickly to protect your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Prioritize Your Health

The first step after any car accident should always be seeking medical attention. Your health is the top priority, so make sure to get checked for injuries, even if you feel fine at the moment. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

Contact a Lawyer as Soon as Possible

Once you’ve ensured your health is taken care of, it’s essential to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Evidence from the accident scene can disappear quickly, including tire marks, skid marks, and the positions of vehicles. Our team can help gather this critical information before it’s lost forever.

Evidence Collection Is Key

After a car accident, there may be crucial evidence that can support your case, such as police body cam footage, photographs taken by officers, and witness statements. Many times, witnesses may call 911 without you even being aware of it, and their statements could be pivotal if liability is disputed by the other driver’s insurance company.

Navigate the Complexities

Navigating medical treatment, health insurance, and auto insurance can be overwhelming, especially if this is your first accident. A lawyer can help alleviate these burdens by providing you with the right information and guidance through the process.
