Karen Montas, Esq.
Legally Speaking...
What to do if you find yourself in a car accident:
1. Call 911 and report the accident.
2. Take photos of the damages of ALL vehicles involved and the accident scene.
3. Obtain the witness contact information (even if you believe the Officer obtained this information).
4. Notify your insurance company and open a claim.
5. Seek medical assistance as soon as possible.
6. Contact Johnson & Montas, P.A. info@jmontas.com or call (321) 636-9600.
Important Information to Know:
If you are injured or having any pain complaints, it is vitally important to obtain medical care within 14 days of the date of the accident. Florida is a No-Fault state, so your own auto insurance is primary for the payment of your medical bills up to $10,000 under your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. You must be seen for an “emergency medical condition” to preserve your $10,000 in PIP benefits. Treatment that is not emergent within these 14 days is limited to $2,500.00. After 14 days with no treatment, you waive your PIP benefits.

Your insurance coverage can be affected by what you do after a motor vehicle accident.
