Although injured drivers are not entirely barred from suing after an accident, you can only file a fault-based claim in certain situations. So, before knowing how much you may be able to recover, it is important to know what your options are when filing a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been injured in a car accident in Florida, it is important to discuss your legal rights and options with an attorney as soon as possible.

Typically, the first step is <strong>hiring a lawyer<\/strong> to help you file a claim with the at-fault driver\u2019s insurance company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several scenarios may arise when you file a fault-based car accident claim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The insurance company may dispute or deny your claim, at which point your lawyer can (i) attempt to negotiate with the insurer to reconsider your claim or (ii) file a lawsuit on your behalf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The insurance company may <strong>offer you a settlement that does not meet your needs<\/strong>. Your lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf in an effort to obtain a fair settlement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The insurance company may <strong>offer a settlement that fairly compensates you<\/strong> for damages. If you agree to the settlement, your case is over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the outcome, it is very important to discuss each step with your attorney before making a decision. If you agree to a settlement and later suffer additional losses related to the car accident, you will not have the ability to pursue additional compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, if your lawyer and the insurance company cannot reach an agreement, taking your car accident case to court does not guarantee a favorable outcome. You need to know that your attorney is willing and able to go to trial if that is the best avenue for achieving the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to verify a lawyer\u2019s trial experience is recognition by The Florida Bar as a <strong>Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialist<\/strong>. Board certification is awarded to attorneys with extensive courtroom experience and results at trial. Most of the <a href=\"\/our-attorneys\/\">attorneys at Kogan &amp; DiSalvo<\/a> are Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Building_Your_Car_Accident_Claim_Today\"><\/span>Start Building Your Car Accident Claim Today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/iStock-1424912318-lawyers-meeting.jpg\" alt=\"Lawyers sitting at a conference room table\" class=\"wp-image-6395\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a no-fault state like Florida, it can be difficult to know the full extent of your legal options.
