Addressing Insurance Issues Head-On
Insurance issues add another layer of complexity to auto accident cases – and another layer of headaches that you likely don’t want to deal with. James Ragano has a robust background taking on insurance companies for auto accidents. We can handle the insurance issues so you don’t have to.
It may be helpful to understand the basics of Florida’s auto insurance laws. Florida is a no-fault state when it comes to auto insurance. State law requires drivers to carry personal injury protection (PIP), which covers medical expenses, property damage and lost wages up to certain limits, regardless of fault. However, dealing with insurance companies can be frustrating. Unwarranted delays, denials and lowball offers are common tactics used by insurers to minimize payouts.
James Ragano understands how to hold insurance companies accountable and stand up against unfair practices. We are well-versed in challenging improper claim denials or underpayments and advocating for fair compensation. We strive to alleviate the burden of dealing with insurers, allowing you to focus on recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Motor Vehicle Accidents
Auto accidents can leave you with many questions about your rights and the legal process. Below are answers to some common questions about car accident cases in Florida.
Do I need to hire an attorney after a car accident in Florida?
While it’s not legally required to hire an attorney after a car accident, having one can greatly benefit your case. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, negotiate with insurance companies and pursue fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
You have already been through enough. Allowing a legal professional to shoulder the burdens of your case can free you up to focus on recovering and rebuilding your life.
What are the chances of winning a car accident lawsuit?
The chances of winning a car accident lawsuit depend on several factors, including the strength of the evidence, the circumstances of the accident and the skill of your legal team. While no case is guaranteed, having a knowledgeable attorney can improve your chances of success significantly. Our attorneys can provide a more detailed analysis of your unique case and what you can expect to potentially recover. We pride ourselves on delivering honest guidance based on a realistic assessment of the circumstances. You can expect transparent answers from us rather than false hopes.
What are most lawyer fees for a car accident?
Most car accident attorneys, including ours, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you only pay attorney fees if we recover compensation for you. Typically, the fee is a percentage of the settlement or judgment amount. This arrangement gives you access to quality legal representation without upfront attorney’s fees and costs, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we handle the legal aspects of your case.
