Car Accidents Are a Common Reality in Florida
Clearwater and Pinellas County are no strangers to heavy traffic and unexpected slowdowns. From road construction delays to a driver’s lapse in judgment, accidents are an unfortunate reality of life in Florida. The odds are striking: your chances of being involved in a car accident in Florida are approximately 1 in 4, and the likelihood of sustaining injuries is even higher.
After a crash, the adrenaline from a near-death experience can mask injuries for hours or even days. That’s why it’s critical to seek medical attention immediately after an accident. Florida law requires that anyone injured in a car accident must see a medical professional within 14 days to preserve their right to file a claim.
The Importance of Acting Quickly
The 14-day window to seek medical care is crucial for protecting your legal rights and obtaining compensation. Insurance companies require documented medical records to process claims for injuries. Without this documentation, you may jeopardize your ability to recover damages for your medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
At McGuire Megna Attorneys, we have decades of experience handling car accident cases and know how to navigate these critical timelines. We meticulously review every detail of your case to ensure no opportunity for compensation is overlooked.
Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts by offering low settlements that don’t account for the full extent of your losses. Whether you’re dealing with mounting medical expenses, lost wages, or the pain and suffering caused by your injuries, you deserve an attorney who will fight relentlessly on your behalf.
At McGuire Megna Attorneys, we approach every case with compassion, determination, and a commitment to achieving the best possible result. Our experienced team will stand by your side, negotiating aggressively with insurance companies or representing you in court if necessary.
