Reputable Personal Injury Lawyers Protect Clients Suffering from Car Accident Injuries in Broward County

Florida’s no-fault insurance laws mean that if you sustained injuries in a car accident in Hollywood, you will first file a claim with your own insurance company to recover compensation for a portion of your medical expenses, and even lost earnings if you have been unable to work because of your injuries. Most injured parties understand this much, but serious complications can begin to arise when your $10,000 personal injury protection (PIP) cap is reached, or your insurance company refuses to pay fair compensation for your injuries. Depending upon the severity of your injuries, and their potential to cause lasting problems, you can easily reach the $10,000 PIP coverage cap. At Lawlor, White & Murphey, our Hollywood car accident lawyers can help you work with your own insurance company to get fair compensation for your Hollywood-area car accident injuries, but will also work tirelessly to explore options for holding the person whose careless actions caused your accident responsible for any additional costs.

No-fault insurance laws do not mean that your own policy is your only recourse. When your car accident injuries are sufficiently severe, Florida law allows you to recover fair compensation from the person who caused the accident in the first place, and our lawyers are here to help make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

Securing Compensation for Serious Car Accident Injuries Under Hollywood, Florida Law

Florida allows car accident victims to pursue compensation from the at-fault party if their injuries are sufficiently severe. The specifications by which Florida judges whether the injuries resulting from a car accident are severe enough to pursue compensation include:

  • Significant or permanent loss of an important bodily function,
  • Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical certainty,
  • Significant and permanent scarring and disfigurement,
  • Death.

At Lawlor, White & Murphey, our Hollywood car accident lawyers have over 55 years’ combined experience helping car accident victims recover compensation for their injuries.

  • Back injuries,
  • Traumatic brain injuries and concussions,
  • Broken bones and joints,
  • Severe burns and scarring,
  • Loss of limbs and amputations,
  • Internal organ damage and bleeding.

Any one of these injuries could change your life forever, and require ongoing and expensive medical care and treatment for which you should not be required to shoulder the financial burden.

What if the person who caused my accident and injuries was driving a rental car in Hollywood?

Our area is a popular tourist destination, and many visitors rent a car while they are visiting. When they rent the car, they are offered the option of purchasing rental car insurance that will cover the cost of any car accident injuries if they cause an accident while visiting. Most people choose to decline this coverage, but they can only decline the coverage if they have their own car insurance policy that will cover up to the Florida $10,000 minimum in PIP coverage. In this situation, however, you should be careful to obtain the contact information of the person driving the vehicle as well as his or her contact information, and act quickly to contact an attorney in Hollywood if your car accident injuries are serious. You can still recover compensation for your injuries, but things may become more complicated depending upon where the responsible party is from.

So if my car accident injuries were caused by a driver from another state who was visiting Hollywood, can I sue for compensation?

Yes. Florida law has what is known as a “long-arm statute”, which means that if you drive on the Florida roads, you basically automatically give consent to come back to Florida and appear in court for any injuries you cause. Also, most visitors from other states have car insurance through a national car insurance company, so while requirements and rules will vary from state to state, you can still recover compensation for your injuries—but it can be more complicated. Our lawyers can help you negotiate with the at-fault driver’s insurance company to make sure you are fairly compensated for your injuries regardless of where the driver was originally from.
