If you’ve been injured in a car crash in Orlando, you probably have a lot of questions. From insurance coverage to legal rights, it can be hard to know what to do next — especially when you’re hurt and stressed. Below are some of the most common questions people have after an auto accident in Florida. If you need help with your specific case, Orlando personal injury attorney Jerry Jenkins offers a free consultation — by phone, video, or in person — to help you get the answers you need.
What should I do right after a car accident in Orlando?
Your safety comes first. Call 911 if anyone is hurt. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the vehicles and scene, and get medical care even if you don’t feel hurt. Then, talk to a lawyer before speaking to any insurance company.
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If another driver’s negligence contributed to your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. Florida uses a comparative fault system, so even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover damages. Jerry can walk you through your options.
Do I have to talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
No — and you probably shouldn’t. Insurance companies will try to get statements that hurt your case. Let your lawyer handle it. Jerry deals with insurance companies every day and knows how to protect your rights.
How much is my car accident case worth?
The value of your case depends on medical costs, lost wages, the severity of your injuries, and how they affect your life. Jerry will help calculate the full value of your claim and fight for every dollar you deserve.
Can I still recover compensation if I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?
Yes. Not wearing a seatbelt could reduce your compensation, but it doesn’t automatically prevent you from recovering damages. This is a common issue in Florida cases — let your lawyer deal with it.
How long do I have to file a claim after an accident in Florida?
You usually have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Don’t wait — important evidence can disappear quickly, and starting sooner gives your lawyer more time to build your case.
What if I was hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident?
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft carry large insurance policies, but filing a claim isn’t always easy. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, Jerry can help you navigate the insurance process and get compensated.
