Don’t Agree to Anything Until You’ve Had a Chance to Speak With Us
Here’s the most important advice we can give to someone who has been injured in an automobile accident: Don’t agree to any kind of settlement with an insurance company until after you’ve had a chance to speak with a Winter Haven car accident lawyer at Rivas Law Firm.
The insurance companies are only in it to make profit. The less money they have to pay out in claims, the more money they make. They aren’t concerned about your needs and will try any tactic to get off the hook as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Accident Claims
We always recommend that you see a doctor, even in the case of very minor accidents. Though it may seem silly seeking treatment after what may be a minor fender bender, several injuries are very common, such as lumbar spine strains, thoracic spine strains, and slipped discs. This is because cars are big and very heavy machines, and even a crash at 10 mph can cause an impact force up to 5.6 tons!
Also, your best chance at receiving the maximum settlement will come only if you have documentation of any and all injuries sustained in the accident.

No matter what an insurance adjuster tells you, you are not required by law to give a statement to a defendant’s insurance company.
Insurance companies are trying to pay out as little as possible in each accident, so while they may claim that they are only gathering facts about your case, they are really looking for holes and inconsistencies that will allow them to pay less.
It may eventually be necessary for you to make a recorded statement, but always make sure you have an attorney present, and only answer the questions they ask; don’t provide any additional information.

In most ways, an accident in a rental car is just like an accident in any other vehicle. This means that in most cases, rental companies cannot be held liable for accidents in their vehicles. There are some exceptions, however, like if the rental company failed to maintain the vehicle properly, and you can prove that the vehicle’s condition was not what it should have been. This could be things like bad tires, bad brakes, or even lights that need to be replaced.
