Finding a Car Accident Lawyer in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach car accident attorneys pursuing compensation on your behalf
When you suffer injury from the negligent or reckless behavior of another driver, you should seek legal help as soon as possible. For more than 20 years, the Law Office of Gregg R. Wexler, P.A. has successfully helped numerous clients obtain the compensation they deserve for auto accident injuries.
Why quickly contacting an attorney is important
The more time that passes after an auto accident, the more difficult it becomes for an auto accident attorney to locate witnesses and preserve evidence. Quick access to an accident scene allows firm investigators to observe and photograph skid marks, road conditions, and other factors for accident reconstruction. Documenting the condition of a car before repair or demolition (if totaled) can also provide valuable information and evidence for determining liability.
In certain cases, multiple parties may be sources of compensation, such as manufacturers of defective auto parts, trucking companies, or government entities that failed to maintain safe road conditions. Federal regulations require trucking companies to keep records for only a limited period of time. Therefore, taking quick action in hiring a West Palm Beach auto accident lawyer to identify violations is crucial in proving negligence.
Understanding your options after an accident
An experienced West Palm Beach car accident law firm can help you understand your options so you can make wise decisions. When severe injury occurs, you may have the option of suing the liable party.
Under Florida no-fault auto insurance, people have Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which means in most cases their auto insurance pays for injury expenses and they cannot sue the at-fault party in an accident. However, when severe injury occurs and parties meet certain thresholds under Florida law—such as permanent injury, loss of bodily function, and significant disfigurement or scarring—the injured party can sue for damages.
An experienced attorney can also help you choose the best car repair option. Some factors to consider include:
- Whether to pay for repairs and seek reimbursement
- Whether to use your insurance carrier or the at-fault party's carrier for repairs
- What insurance coverage best covers rental car use
- What body shop to use
