ANATOMY OF A CAR ACCIDENT CASE

If you are injured in a car or truck crash on the treasure coast, and someone else is to blame, you might think you are in for a "Big payday". ... And you might be, but Crary Buchanan attorneys at law, says there are no guarantees. So they have a reminder about the 5 things your case must have to be successful. 1- bodily injury insurance or uninsured motorist coverage. Neither are required on auto insurance policies in Florida...But you need both, if you want to recover money from an uninsured driver. 2- liability. It has to be the other driver's fault. If you did something that partly caused the crash, your percentage of fault will reduce the damages you can recover. 3 property damage. If there's not much damage to your car, the insurance company will assume you weren't hurt and will offer a smaller settlement. 4 injury. You must be injured to make a recovery from the insurance company. The bigger the injury, the bigger the case. 5 permanent injury. In order to collect significant money for pain and suffering, you must have a permanent injury. For minor injuries, it takes a least 6 months to determine the long-term impact. For more serious injuries like fractures or surgeries it's more likely to be a permanent injury. All injuries require ongoing treatment and evaluation before a doctor can determine if they are permanent. If even one of these 5 elements is missing, it may effect your case.So before you make any decisions, call Crary Buchanan, attorneys at law or visit crarybuchanan.com.
