Auto Accident

Lake City Auto Accident Attorney

You have been in a car accident. Now what?

The car accidents law firm in Lake City of Robinson, Kennon & Kendron, P.A. asks: Do you know what to do if you or a family member is involved in a car accident?

If you are injured, get immediate medical assistance. If you do not need to be transported by ambulance to a hospital, get examined by a medical professional as soon as possible. If you wait too long to be examined, it can affect the amount of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance you will be able to use for treatment.

If you are able, make sure to contact law enforcement to investigate the crash and complete a report. Do not trust that the person who hit you will be honest and cooperate with you later. Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses. Do not rely upon law enforcement to do so. Note if there are any surveillance cameras in the area that might have captured the crash. Take photographs of the scene and the vehicles, if possible. Take photographs of any visible injuries on your body, such as bruising, especially if you are bruised from your seat belt.

To further protect your rights: It may be in your best interest to keep the phone number of an experienced Lake City trial lawyer on hand. The personal injury attorneys and staff at Robinson, Kennon & Kendron, P.A. want you to be prepared, and to know that, if you have been injured in a car accident, your call to 386.755.1334  will be answered. One of our experienced attorneys will be ready to answer your questions and make sure that your rights are protected.

What your attorney will do for you

Your Lake City personal injury attorney is your advocate who negotiates with the insurance company to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation for:

  • Current and estimated future medical expenses, including surgery, physician and hospital fees, lab fees, prescription drugs, physical therapy, psychiatric care, psychological counseling, X-rays/MRIs, dentistry/oral surgery, prostheses, nursing care, nursing home/long-term care facilities, transportation costs and other necessary medical needs.
  • Loss of income and loss of earning capacity
  • Cost of property damage repair or replacement
  • Loss of consortium
  • Pain and suffering

 

While car accidents are the leading cause of motor vehicle-related injury, semis are a major factor in the most serious injuries. “Big-rig” accidents come with their own set of issues and are often more legally complex and require swift action, especially regarding the preservation of evidence. The Lake City truck accidents attorneys at Robinson, Kennon & Kendron, P.A. have helped people throughout Florida, including visitors to the area, who have suffered injuries as the result of a truck crash.
