Victims of car accidents can claim compensation for medical expenses and loss of income depending on the severity of the injuries suffered. If you or a loved one has suffered severe injuries in a car accident, you may be eligible to seek compensation for the full cost of your injury.
Some of the most common damages from car crashes that you can recover compensation for include medical expenses and costs for rehabilitation and future medical care, loss of income, loss of consortium, and pain and suffering.
At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we investigate and handle complex car accident cases in Miami or anywhere else in Florida.
Injuries caused by a vehicle's crashworthiness are considered and compensated apart from the injuries that were caused by the accident itself. The distinction can be a little difficult, especially when it comes to medical proof of the extent of an enhanced injury beyond the "expected" injury.
Crashworthiness claims refer to whether the car's safety features were in a functional state at the moment of the crash, or your injuries were caused not only by the crash itself but were exacerbated by the fact that the vehicle's safety systems failed to protect you during the collision. To demonstrate these aspects, we work with engineering and medical experts and fight to ensure maximum compensation is recovered for the pain and suffering. At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we have experience in analyzing all aspects of your case.
Let’s say a person travels at high speed, on our Florida highways, and is involved in a collision with another car operated by a drunk driver. In this case, the court might find that the first driver is 40% at fault for the accident, while the second driver bears 60% of the blame. In this case, the first driver can recover 60% of his damages, while the second driver can recover 40% from insurance companies, depending on the type of insurance they both have.
We also determine whether a defective product caused the accident, or if a defective product that’s part of the car had a role in causing your accident and subsequent injuries.
We work with car accident reconstructionists and we run our own investigations to find out exactly what happened and what was the cause of the car accident and your injuries. Most car accident lawyers in Miami look only at the liability that falls on the driver. A car component is rarely investigated in a crash. We do all that, and we are committed to helping you recover fair compensation from car insurance and health insurance companies that will always try and give you less than what you and your family deserve.
It’s important to be cautious and to know how to act in case you are involved in a car accident on our roads in Florida. The usual course of action after a car crash involves collecting evidence, filling in the necessary paperwork, and dealing with insurance companies.
Legal representation is crucial after a car accident. We can help by stopping the insurance companies from calling and harassing you, but we can also make sure you are getting the maximum amount of compensation you deserve.
Personal injury claims related to vehicle accidents can be brought within four years after the incident occurred.
Injured individuals can negotiate a settlement with the involved insurance company, or they can file a lawsuit if negotiations fail. However, most car accidents are settled in pre-trial stages. Plaintiffs are eligible to recover damages even if they are partially at fault for the accident.
The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary has been helping individuals injured in car accidents in numerous catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases across Florida over the past two decades.
We have the necessary experience to help you, as we have helped many car accident victims and their family members who have found themselves in situations similar to yours.
At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we handle all the calls and the claim on your behalf, and we make sure that fair compensation is awarded to settle, or we take your case to trial if needed. We will negotiate with insurance companies and aggressively advocate on your behalf to make sure you recover the compensation you need to put your life back on track.
