A: No, you don't need to call a lawyer to file your insurance claim. However, it is always in your best interest to at least speak with a personal injury lawyer before doing so.

A lawyer like Kayla Sheldrick will know how to deal with insurance companies and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

 

Q: Am I entitled to a rental vehicle after an accident?

 

A: If you've been in an accident that was not your fault, then you may be entitled to a rental vehicle. However, if the other driver was at fault, their insurance company should be responsible for providing you with a rental car or they may be obligated to compensate you for your rental expenses. If you're having trouble getting a rental car from the other driver's insurance company, contact Kayla Sheldrick at The Sheldrick Law Firm for help.

A: There is no definite answer as to how long it will take to get a settlement from an insurance company. However, the process can often be lengthy and frustrating. It's not uncommon for it to take several months (or even longer) to reach a settlement. That's why it's so important to have an experienced car accident lawyer on your side.

 

Q: Who pays my medical bills if I don't have health insurance?

 

A: If you're injured in an accident, the responsible party's insurance company should pay your medical bills. However, in the state of Florida, regardless of whether or not you have health insurance, you may be able to use your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to pay for your medical expenses. PIP is a type of no-fault insurance that is required in some states. It will typically cover a certain amount of your medical bills, no matter who was at fault for the accident.

 

Q: Can I sue a person for hitting me in a car accident?

 

A: In the state of Florida, you can sue the at-fault driver for hitting you in a car accident. However, it's important to note that there are certain circumstances where you may not be able to sue, such as if the accident was minor and didn't result in any injuries. If you're unsure whether or not you can sue, it's always best to speak with an experienced car accident lawyer.

 

Q: What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?

 

A: If you're involved in an accident with a driver who doesn't have insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation. This is because Florida is a no-fault state, which means that each driver's insurance company will pay for their own policyholder's damages, up to a certain limit. If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, contact The Sheldrick Law Firm for help.

 

Q: What if the other driver was underinsured?

 

A: If you're involved in an accident with an underinsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation. This is because, in the state of Florida, each driver is required to carry a certain amount of liability insurance. If the other driver doesn't have enough insurance to cover your damages, you may be able to file a claim with your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. If you're not sure what to do, contact The Sheldrick Law Firm for help.

 

Q: I was in a car accident and now I'm having neck and back pain. What should I do?

They will be able to help you understand your legal options and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

 

Q: I was rear-ended in a car accident. What should I do?

 

A: If you've been rear-ended in a car accident, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Even if you don't think you're injured, it's important to get checked out by a doctor. Once you've seen a doctor, you should also contact an experienced car accident lawyer. They will be able to help you understand your legal options and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve and may be entitled to.

 

Q: I was in a car accident and the other driver was at fault. Do I need to hire a lawyer?

 

A: While you're not required to hire a lawyer if you're in a car accident, it's often in your best interest to do so. This is because an experienced car accident lawyer will know how to navigate the complex legal system and will fight to get you the maximum compensation you're entitled to. If you try to handle everything yourself, you may end up with much less than you deserve.

 

Q: Do I need a car accident lawyer if the other driver was uninsured?

 

A: If you're in an accident with an uninsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation for your damages. This is because Florida is a no-fault state, which means that each driver's insurance company will pay for their own policyholder's damages, up to a certain limit. If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, contact The Sheldrick Law Firm for help.

 

Q: How much is my case worth?

 

A: The value of your case will depend on a number of different factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the amount of medical bills you have incurred, the amount of lost wages you have suffered, and more. Once we have a chance to review your case, we will be able to give you a better idea as to how much it may be worth but as per every case, there is never a guarantee of a certain value or outcome.

 

Q: How long do I have after a car accident to file a claim?

 

A: In the state of Florida, you have four years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim.

If you wait too long, important evidence may be lost or destroyed.

 

Q: What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?

 

A: If you are involved in an accident with a driver who does not have insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. It is important to speak with an attorney about your options as soon as possible after being involved in an accident.

 

Q: What if the other driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident?

 

A: If the other driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of your accident, you may be able to recover punitive damages. Punitive damages are designed to punish the at-fault driver for their negligence and to deter others from driving under the influence.

 

Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

 

A: Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation.

However, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Q: Do I pay my own medical bills after going to the hospital after an accident?

 

A: No, you should not have to pay your own medical bills after an accident. The responsible party's insurance company should pay for your medical expenses. However, in some cases, health insurance companies may try to seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver's insurance company. If this happens, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.

A: In most cases, no. We will attempt to settle your case out of court. However, if we are unable to reach a fair settlement, depending on your specific case factors we will determine at that time what the next best course of action would be. In some cases, this may mean taking your case to trial.

Q: What is a Diminished Value claim?

 

A: A Diminished Value claim is a type of property damage claim where you are compensated for the loss in value of your car as a result of the car accident. After an accident, your vehicle will then have an accident listed on the vehicle's title, which will result in a loss of value. We will work with car valuation experts to help determine the pre-accident value of your car and the Diminished Value it has suffered as a direct result of the car accident.

 

Q: What is the average price of a diminished value claim in Florida?

 

A: The average price of a diminished value claim in Florida is typically several thousand dollars. The amount will vary depending on a few factors such as the specific car make, model, year, trim, and the extent of the Diminished Value.
