What should I do after an accident in Deerfield Beach?
1. Stay at the scene of the accident, and call the police. Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime.
2. Tell the police officer what happened in the accident. This is not a criminal investigation, and anything that you share with the police officer cannot be used against you. Florida law has something called the "accident report privilege". Public policy dictates that we should encourage people to tell the truth to police officers about how the accident happened. Therefore, a police officer can't comment in court as to what you told him.
3. Take photos of your car to share with your attorney and the insurance company.
4. If you need to, go to the hospital or to urgent care. It is better to receive medical treatment quickly after an accident. Provide the hospital with your car accident insurance. Although it might not seem fair, Florida law says your insurance pays for the first ten thousand dollars of medical bills.

How long do you have to report a car accident to insurance?
Either you or your attorney should report the car accident as soon as possible to the insurance company. There are some insurance policies, such as uninsured motorist policies, which require you by contract to report the accident within a specified amount of time. You do not want the insurance company to have the ability to deny coverage for your accident.
How long does it take to get a car accident settlement?
A settlement can take as little as 24 hours depending on the facts of your case. A case with a small insurance policy and a large hospital bill generally settle quickly, because an insurance company has an obligation to protect their insured (the person who hit you) from being responsible for paying additional money to you. We can explain the settlement timeline more to you when you call our office for a free consultation.

What to expect physically after a car accident
A car accident is a traumatic event, and your body will take some time to get back to normal both physically and mentally. Each person is different on how they respond physically to car accidents. Car accident injuries range in severity from minor bruising to death. There is a misconception that car accident injuries, especially "soft tissue" injuries, can be taken lightly. There is nothing further from the truth. Car accident injuries whether soft tissue related, such as herniated discs or bulging discs, or a hard injury such as broken bones can cause a person to experience tremendous pain and suffering.

What if an insurance company representative asked me to sign a release?
You should never sign a release before speaking to a car accident lawyer. This is because insurance companies will routinely offer lowball settlements in exchange for you agreeing to never sue their insured. Insurance companies are in the business of saving money, not spending it. They will to whatever they can do to make sure that they maximize profits. One way of doing this is to pay accident victims a small amount of money, usually to cover your immediate out of pocket expenses. Accepting this money is shortsighted, because you may need additional medical treatment and your case is very likely worth more money than what the insurance company is offering you to walk away.
Types of Car Accidents
- Rear-End Collisions: A rear-end collision is one of the most common types of car accidents. There is a presumption in Florida that the driver who rear-ended you is at fault in the accident.
- Head-On Collisions: A head-on collision occurs when the front of one vehicle collides with the front of another vehicle. These are extremely dangerous collisions and they often cause severe injuries to drivers and passengers.
- T-Bone Collisions: These collisions mainly occur at intersections. A T-Bone collision is very scary as many times the collision is completely unexpected.
- Rollovers: A rollover may happen when one vehicle is taking a turn too quickly.
