West Palm Beach Personal Injury Lawyers

Accident Attorneys in West Palm Beach, FL Helping Accident Victims Find Justice in Palm Beach County and Throughout Florida

Although we call them accidents, most are actually preventable if only someone did the right thing. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident and you’re looking for justice, let our dedicated West Palm Beach personal injury lawyers fight for you.

Florida car crash statistics report a total of 381,156 accidents in 2022, 63.6% of which resulted in injuries and 3,292 fatalities. Sadly, some of these injuries and lost lives could have been prevented if only someone had done what was right.

Other types of accidents we handle include workplace accidents, slips and falls, and accidents caused by defective products. Accident attorneys in West Palm Beach, FL, can help you sue the at-fault party and recover compensation to help you and your family.

When to Sue For an Accident in Palm Beach County

After your accident, the first step is to notify your insurance company of the incident. There are also procedures for notifying other relevant parties, such as your employer and the defendant’s insurer, depending on the type of accident you had.

Sometimes, the insurance company may contact you with an offer to settle. This usually happens when the defendant is clearly at fault for the accident. They may also reject your case outright, in which case you may want to file your lawsuit in court.

In either case, it’s vital that you consult a skilled personal injury lawyer as soon after your accident as possible. Your lawyer is best qualified to deal with insurance companies, including handling negotiations and preparing demands for your personal injury claim.

Proving Fault in a Florida Accident

Florida operates under no-fault insurance rules, which means your carrier pays for your injuries and damages no matter who was at fault. However, your policy limits may be too low to cover all your treatment costs after a car accident.

When you file a claim for compensation against the at-fault party, you must prove that they are responsible for the accident. If you were also partly liable, your share of the responsibility must be less than half due to a policy known as comparative negligence.

Proving fault requires you to satisfy four main elements of personal injury:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
  • The defendant breached that duty of care
  • The resulting negligence caused the plaintiff injury
  • The plaintiff suffered injuries that can be compensated

The at-fault driver is legally and financially responsible for the accident. Therefore, they will almost always deny fault, which makes proving your claim challenging. The most important thing is to work with expert accident attorneys in West Palm Beach, FL, to help you win your case.

Accident Attorneys in West Palm Beach, FL Fighting for Maximum Compensation in Palm Beach County and Throughout Florida

Sometimes you’re lucky and there’s obvious proof of fault, such as traffic law violations or dash cam footage. Even then, the defendant and their insurance carrier can trick you into admitting partial responsibility for an accident or intimidate you into accepting an unfair settlement.

When you work with skilled accident attorneys in Palm Beach County, we’ll have your back by fighting for the highest possible settlement. We know how serious accident injuries can take years before you fully recover, taking into account all the income and earning capacity you’re losing.

How to Win an Accident Lawsuit

The accident report filed by a police officer or relevant authority goes a long way toward ensuring you win your accident claim. However, you also need other types of supporting evidence, such as:

  • Footage from dash cams, CCTV, and phone recordings
  • Videos and photos of the accident scene
  • Recorded statements and transcripts of eyewitnesses
  • Receipts from repair and purchase of damaged property
  • Medical records

Even if your case goes through alternative dispute resolution, you still evidence present a strong case. Working with West Palm Beach personal injury lawyers gives you the best chance of winning your claim or case.

What Damages Can You Recover After an Accident?

The law requires that the person responsible for your accident and injuries make you “whole.” In other words, the idea is to restore you to the condition you would have been in if the accident had never happened.

Of course, this is often impossible when serious injury or death is concerned. However, suing for compensation helps you recover damages to help with medical treatment and taking care of your family. These damages include:

  • Economic damages for all losses with a definite financial value, such as medical expenses, lost income, and lost earning capacity
  • Non-economic expenses such as compensation for pain and suffering and decrease in quality of life
  • Punitive damages may also be awarded when there is evidence of gross negligence or malicious intent

Your accident lawyer will calculate the value of all these damages and present the figures in the demand package. They will also negotiate with the defense team to ensure you get the highest settlement or award possible in your case.

Accident Attorneys in West Palm Beach, FL You Can Trust in Palm Beach County and Throughout Florida

Some accident lawyers are known for settling at the first opportunity because they just want to make money. At Domnick, Cunningham, & Yaffa, we fight for our clients to the end, including taking many of our cases to trial to ensure you get what you deserve.
