Filing a Car Accident Claim in Lakeland

Injured? Contact a Lakeland Car Accident Attorney

Life can become extremely difficult for a person following a car accident. As medical bills pile up and the inability to work creates financial hardship, it can be confusing to know where to turn for help. If you have been injured in a car accident, the Lakeland car accident lawyers from Lilly & Brown, LLP can help you file a car accident claim and provide you with exceptional legal counsel.

How PIP Insurance Affects Claims

Since Florida is a no-fault state, you must first turn to your insurance provider for compensation. All drivers within the state are required to have personal injury protection (PIP) benefits with their insurance, which covers a minimum of $10,000 worth of losses in exchange for a driver’s right to sue. There are certain exceptions to this rule, however, as you may be able to sue for additional damages if your injuries are permanent or particularly severe.

These damages can be awarded as compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and replacement benefits. Lawsuits of this type are subject to a four year statute of limitations, making it extremely important that you act soon to preserve your right to pursue compensation.

Consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney from our firm can help determine your eligibility and the most appropriate course of action to pursue.
