What causes car accidents in Coral Gables, FL?

- Speeding
- Improper turns and improper passing
- Failing to follow a stop sign or traffic light

Determining the cause of the accident is key to understanding who has responsibility for car accident injuries. Our lawyers investigate to determine fault.
Who is responsible for my car accident injuries?
While Florida uses a no-fault system for minor car accident injuries, the no-fault system doesn’t apply when injuries are severe. Injuries that are an exception are the following:
- Significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function
- Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability
- Scarring or disfigurement that is significant and permanent
- Death
If the injury meets one of the exceptions, the victim can sue the party responsible for causing the accident. Being responsible for causing an accident means acting negligently or with a lack of reasonable care. A traffic violation is sufficient to make a party responsible for an accident.
We work to identify parties with legal liability
Vehicle drivers are responsible for their actions. In addition, an employer or another third party may also be liable for an accident.
We will investigate all parties who may be responsible, including:
- Vehicle driver
- Commercial drivers
- Taxi and rideshare drivers
- Pedestrians and bicyclists
- Employers of negligent parties
- Manufacturers of vehicles
- Government entity
- Bar or restaurant
- Mechanics, auto repair services
Our team will investigate insurance policies that may apply and other ways for you to collect compensation.
How much is my car accident case worth?
How much a car accident case is worth depends on the individual circumstances of the accident. Questions that may be important to determining the value of the case are:
- Do you have injuries that are serious, permanent, or disfiguring?
- What insurance policies are available to pay a claim? What are their limits?
- Who has legal fault based on negligence rules?
- Did a vehicle malfunction or design problem contribute to the accident?
- Are there multiple parties who may be at fault for the accident?
- What are your medical bills? Do you expect to have future medical bills?
- How extensive is your non-economic suffering, including physical pain, emotional anguish, and lifestyle changes?
- Will your injuries keep you out of work?
- Is the evidence in the case straightforward? Are there other legal questions that might impact the case?
At a consultation, we can explore these factors. It’s impossible to guarantee results, but we can give you honest advice based on our experience.
