If you were contacted after an accident, either by text, a phone call, or in person, you are the victim of a crime. This is called “solicitation”, and in Florida, it’s a felony. It’s illegal for anyone to contact you after you’ve been in a car accident. Often, shady doctor and lawyer’s offices will pay people to obtain traffic citation reports that show you as an injured party, which lists your contact info. Then they call or text you to try and get you to show up at a doctor’s office for medical treatment in exchange for cash. The problem for you is that the criminals then exhaust your insurance benefits, leaving you with no insurance claim to pursue. Do NOT participate in this illegal activity. Call a real law firm like ours instead.
