Obtain the witness contact information (even if you believe the Officer obtained this information).
Notify your insurance company and open a claim.
Seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

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.

2024 MLK Day Parade
On Monday, January 15, 2024, the law firm engaged with the community at the MLK parade. Nicole and Emily seized the opportunity to connect with those in attendance, offering valuable information on what steps to take in the unfortunate event of an auto accident. Adding a touch of excitement, a drawing for a $100 gift card was held and we are thrilled to announce that Cathy Talabert emerged as the lucky winner.
