You’re driving down North Miami Beach Boulevard when a distracted driver slams into the back of your vehicle. Your neck whips back and you immediately feel a sharp pain. You’ve been involved in an auto accident and may have suffered a serious injury. In this moment, an important question to ask is: do I need to hire a Florida personal injury lawyer?
Think Fast
You may have to make a determination about legal representation rather quickly. It is quite common for the other driver’s insurance company to contact you the same day the accident occurred or within 48 hours. They will ask to take a recorded statement, ask you how you’re feeling, ask about the damage to your vehicle, etc. Why all the questions? Because insurance adjusters are tasked with tracking you down and trying to get your claim resolved quickly and for as little money as possible.
