Frequently Asked Questions
After a car accident in Florida, your first priority is safety. Call 911, seek medical attention, and report the crash to law enforcement. If you’re able, take photos, gather witness names, and exchange insurance information. Then, contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters. At Bell & Bell, we guide you through each step to protect your rights.
You are not required to hire a lawyer, but it is highly recommended. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. A car accident attorney ensures you receive fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Bell & Bell Attorneys fight for your best outcome while you focus on recovery.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is generally two years from the date of the accident (recently reduced from four years). Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering damages. It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible so evidence is preserved and your case is protected.
At Bell & Bell Attorneys, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront — our fee comes only if we win your case. If there’s no recovery, there’s no fee.
When you work with an automobile accident lawyer at our firm, we communicate with all of the automobile insurance companies on your behalf, and help you with all other aspects of your case. It is our goal to relieve you of any burdens so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
Steps you should take if you are in a car accident:
- Call 911 to alert the authorities of the accident and seek medical attention. Additionally, be sure a police report is written to preserve the facts.
- Do not discuss the facts or liability with the other driver. Make sure to exchange all proper insurance information with the other driver, including their driver’s license number.
- Collect the names and contact information of any witnesses to the accident. Take photographs of all damage at the scene if possible.
- Call Bell & Bell, PA for a free evaluation of your case. We are available 24/7 and will travel to your location if necessary.
