If you’ve been injured in an auto accident that you believe was caused by the negligence or carelessness of another person or party, contacting a car accident attorney immediately puts you in a stronger position when dealing with insurance companies. An auto accident claim can involve more than just agreeing to the settlement amount an insurance company offers: There may be other aspects of the accident or your injuries that should be considered before accepting a settlement, such as the long-term effects on your ability to earn a living, or future medical costs that may be incurred. Depending upon the unique circumstances of your accident, there may also be more than one party that may at fault, such as an equipment manufacturer. A qualified car accident attorney will know how to navigate the claims process and help ensure that your rights are fully protected.
Even if you feel your injuries are minor, taking advantage of a free consultation with Harrell & Harrell, P.A., attorneys can be of benefit. Some injuries, such as soft-tissue injuries and head injuries, don’t always exhibit symptoms right away. That’s why it’s important to speak with an attorney after any accident and before rushing into a settlement with an insurance company.
Also, keep in mind that the sooner you speak with a car accident attorney, the sooner he or she can ensure that evidence is preserved and that proper steps are taken to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, you should keep in mind that insurance companies will not be on your side—in fact, they will be looking to pay out as little as possible. No matter what type of accident caused your injuries, an experienced car accident lawyer can help you obtain fair treatment. If you’d like to know more about what an auto accident attorney can do for you, we offer absolutely free consultations.
After calling 911 and moving vehicles out of the way of traffic if it’s possible, there are several steps to take that can help build a solid foundation for an accident case:
Obtain names, contact information and insurance information from other parties involved.
Obtain names and contact information for any witnesses.
Get a copy of the police report, your case number and the responding officer’s name and badge number.
Take photos of all injuries and vehicles and the surrounding area.
Call your insurance company to report the accident, but do not make any statements to your own insurance company or the other party’s insurance company before speaking with a car accident attorney. Do not sign any releases.
Call Harrell & Harrell, P.A. at 904-251-1111 or 800-251-1111 to speak with us any time of day or night.
There isn’t a simple formula for calculating a fair settlement amount, because there are a number of factors that must be considered and every case is unique. In general, however, the more serious an accident victim’s injuries are, the larger the amount of compensation. There may also be non-economic losses to consider, but a victim must have sustained a permanent injury in order to bring a claim for such losses.
A responsible and ethical car accident attorney will not calculate a final value before you have reached what is known as maximum medical improvement, or the point at which your medical team believes you will have no further improvement in your injuries.
At Harrell & Harrell, P.A., our car accident attorneys offer a free, no-obligation consultation to help determine the strength of your case. When you become our client, our experienced personal injury team will investigate every aspect of your case and carefully calculate a compensation amount that takes all of your losses into account.
Each case is unique, so we encourage you to schedule a free case consultation with no cost or obligation to you to discuss specifics. When our truck accident attorneys determine you have a case, settlements can be successfully negotiated at multiple points along the process, including:
during the initial discovery phase
during claim preparation
during post-claim preparation
during negotiations with the insurance company
because of court-ordered mediation
after a formal judicial process
The primary payer of your medical expenses is your own auto insurance company. This is because Florida is a “no-fault” insurance state, which means your required Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers your own injuries. PIP benefits are not standard for all policies but in general, 80 percent of medical expenses up to $10,000 are covered by PIP.
Nearly all car accident lawyers in the state of Florida represent their clients on a contingency fee basis, so there is no charge for an initial consultation on your case and there will be no fees or costs owed to the attorney if a successful settlement or verdict is not reached. If the case is won on your behalf, the contingency fee is a set percentage of the settlement or verdict. At Harrell & Harrell, P.A., we will review our agreement with you before signing and make sure you understand the contingency fee.
According to Florida law, the standard time limit for filing a personal injury civil lawsuit is typically four years from the date of the accident or incident. There are some exceptions to this, however, so it’s important to consult with a car accident attorney as soon as you possibly can. At Harrell & Harrell, P.A., we know accidents happen at all hours of the day, that’s why we are available 24/7 to take your call.
Many car accident cases can be resolved in six to 18 months, but the length of time needed to settle your particular case may differ. Keep in mind that at Harrell & Harrell, P.A., we work with you on a contingency basis, which means we do not get paid until you get paid. We will work to resolve your case as quickly as possible.
We strongly recommend that you look for a law firm that focuses on personal injury law. Some firms practice personal injury law in addition to many other practice areas, but the more experience and expertise in managing accident cases that your future attorney has, the better your chances for receiving a fair settlement.
Navigating a personal injury claim can be overwhelming. Our quick, easy-to-understand videos cover the most common questions we hear from clients — so you can feel informed and confident every step of the way.
