Recovering Compensation for an Accident Caused by a Distracted Driver

Plantation is packed with waterways, tree-lined streets, and your pick of local destinations. It is a good place to live, whether you are raising a family or enjoying retirement. It is also part of the booming South Florida metro area, and vehicles can and do clog the roads.

If you are the victim of an auto accident, chances are good that your injuries were caused by one of the following driver distractions:

• Texting
• Talking on a cellphone
• Adjusting the audio, air, or navigational system
• Looking at the scenery rather than the road
• Talking to passengers 
• Eating or drinking
• Searching for something in the vehicle

We all know that distractions can make drivers lose focus, to the detriment of others sharing the road. Our distracted driving accident attorney Plantation, FL, will help you identify all of the losses you incur in the accident and file a compensation claim with the negligent driver’s insurance company. These losses can include:

• The repair or replacement costs of your vehicle along with any property you had with you at the time of the accident.
• Expenses related to medical care, both now and in the future, including ambulance services, emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgery, rehab, physical therapy, medication, and transportation to and from medical appointments.
• Loss of income during your recovery period.
• Loss of future earnings, if you are unable to work at your previous level or unable to work.
• The pain and suffering you experience at the time of the accident as well as lingering discomfort now and in the future.
• The mental anguish or emotional trauma that often appears after an injury-causing accident.

Understanding the Rule of Comparative Negligence in Florida

Our Plantation distracted driving accident attorney at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers will investigate your case to determine how the accident happened and who is responsible. Although our work is guided by the unique characteristics of your case, in general our approach is:

• Investigate the incident for evidence supporting your claim, including interviewing eyewitnesses, collecting police reports and medical records, and gathering CCTV footage
• Assist you in filing an accident claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company and negotiate for a fair settlement that meets the level of your losses
• Prepare for trial and represent you in court if settlement negotiations fail

If during the investigation, by us or other involved parties, it is found that you were partially responsible for the accident in which you were injured, you may still be eligible to recover compensation.

Under Florida’s comparative negligence law, if you are found to be 50% or less at fault for the accident, you may recover compensation for your losses, minus the percentage you were at fault. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not recover compensation. Early in your case, our attorney will explain how or if this rule pertains to your claim.

Your Time is Limited to File a Distracted Driving Accident Lawsuit in Florida

Most personal injury compensation claims are settled and do not go to trial. However, when a settlement agreement cannot be reached, the case can proceed to trial for a fair resolution.

Florida Statutes § 95.11 generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to begin legal action on your case. If you do not file a personal injury lawsuit by then, you could be barred from doing so and miss your opportunity to recover compensation.
