Have you been involved in a Florida Car Accident?

• DON’T leave the scene of the accident. Wait until the police have arrived and have given you permission to leave.
• DO call the police. A police report is vital in your case, as it will help to determine who is responsible and how the accident occurred. If you do not file a police report, it is your word against the other driver’s.
• DON’T admit responsibility - even if you think the accident may have been your fault. There may have been external factors that contributed to the accident, such as excessive speed of the other driver, the influence of drugs or alcohol or unsafe road conditions.
• DO take photos of the accident. They may prove to be extremely helpful in your Palm Beach auto accident case.
• DON’T sign any paperwork given to you by the insurance companies without first talking with a lawyer. Do not speak to anyone from the other person’s insurance company, as this statement may be used against you. Do not agree to a settlement before seeking counsel from an attorney.
