When you’re in a car accident in Tampa, your first thought might be whether you need an attorney to help you. There are several ways that our attorneys assist car accident victims.
First, we want to help you evaluate your claim. You may have a right to compensation that you aren’t aware of. Although Florida uses a no-fault system for accidents with only minor injuries, there are exceptions where injured victims can bring third-party claims. A third-party car accident claim allows you to request damages that cover your pain and suffering, emotional anguish, and all types of financial losses. You may have a right to these types of compensation and not even realize it. The types of compensation that you may receive after a car accident include:
Medical bills
Rehabilitation including physical therapy, crutches, wheelchairs, etc.
Lost work and altered career path
Household expenditures if you’re unable to do household chores
Mental injuries like anxiety, PTSD, and panic disorder
Physical pain
Emotional anguish
Property losses
