Auto Accidents and Liability: Who's at Fault?
Another driver hit your car. You did nothing wrong. They have
to pay for your damages. It's just that simple, right? In truth,
auto accident liability issues are often more complicated than
you might think. Why? One big reason is that defendants and
their insurance companies will almost always try to put at least
some of the blame for the accident on the driver who is suing
them or someone else.
For this reason alone, it is crucial you talk to an experienced
lawyer before making any statements to the other driver's
insurance company.
If you have been injured in a Florida car accident, contact a team of compassionate professionals who have
the experience, resources and dedication you need at The McLeod Firm.
Florida's "Comparative Negligence" Laws
In a pure comparative negligence state like Florida, an auto accident or personal injury case that goes to
verdict can allow a judge or jury to assign a percentage of fault (liability) to each of you. Your damages would
then be reduced by that percentage.
For instance, if you had a hundred thousand dollars in damages (injuries) but the jury said you were 50
percent at fault, you could still recover $50,000 in damages. That's not a mistake. Florida's system for
assessing auto accident liability does not prevent you from recovering damages, even if you were somewhat
at fault along with the other driver. We work hard to establish zero percentage fault for our clients in every
case.
Maximizing the Value of Your Case
A huge part of the job of being a personal injury lawyer is understanding the long-term physical and financial
impacts of serious personal injuries. Personal injury and car accidents can wreck lives. Our law firm has a full
time nurse-paralegal on staff and an entire network of experts we can bring in to help on your case, including
leading physicians, life care planners, and vocational rehabilitation specialists.
Our objective is always to get you the full financial compensation you need so you can move forward with your
life.
