Car Accident Claim Tips

If you have been in a car wreck that another’s negligence caused, you can seek compensation through an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. In either case, there are several things you can do to support your claim and potentially ease the process of securing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more.

5 Tips to get the most out of your car accident claim:

Watch what you say after an accident. Avoid saying things like, “I’m sorry” or “I didn’t see you.” Never admit fault, even if you think you have made a mistake. Doing so could work against you and possibly reduce the available compensation.
Report your accident to your insurance company. If you fail to alert your provider, you could be denied coverage. Not reporting an accident could also be used against you in your personal injury case.
Be mindful of Florida’s statute of limitations. In the Sunshine State, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. You may not receive compensation if you start your claim after this period.
Keep track of everything related to the accident. You should make certain to gather the police report, proof of medical care, receipts, contracts, and other important documents.
Write a professional demand letter. When communicating what you want to your insurance company, tell them in writing. A professional demand letter should include your damage claims, documentation to support them, and a response deadline. A demand letter can often spur settlement action.

While the tips above are useful, we understand that making a personal injury claim remains difficult. You do not have to navigate this process alone. Turn Stallworth Law, P.A. for assistance from start to finish. We have helped numerous people and recovered $10+ million in settlements.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover Financial Compensation For?
In the wake of an auto accident, you may be able to recover financial compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- And pain and suffering
Depending on the case, you may be able to recover additional compensation for emotional trauma, future medical care and any loss of earning potential.
How Can You Prove That the Accident Was the Fault of the Other Driver?
At Stallworth Law, P.A., we work with a network of experts in different fields, including:
- Accident reconstruction
- Engineering
- Medicine
- And much more
We can use cutting-edge technology to recreate the scene of the accident and go about proving that your actions were not the cause of the accident, but rather that the other party was to blame. We can also use witnesses from the scene, information from the police report and physical evidence on your behalf.
The Other Driver's Insurance Company is Saying The Accident Was My Fault. What Should I Do?

It is important that you do not discuss the circumstances of your accident with the other driver's insurance company. Of course, they are looking to see whether they should pay for your injuries, or whether you can be held liable and therefore eliminate their liability to pay for their client's actions.
They may ask you questions and may attempt to have you admit that the accident was your fault. Before you talk to the other driver's insurance company, be sure that you talk to a lawyer about your case.
If you retain an experienced Tampa injury attorney from our firm, they can handle all communication with the insurance company on your behalf and therefore help you avoid hurting your chances of making a full financial recovery.
How Much Compensation Can I Recover for My Auto Accident Claim?
The amount that your auto accident claim is worth will vary depending on quite a few different factors.
It is impossible to say what your claim may be worth without a careful evaluation of:
- Your injuries
- Past medical bills
- Projected future medical expenses
- Affect the injuries will have on your life and ability to work
- And much more
Fortunately, an experienced personal injury lawyer can look over your claim to determine what it should be worth - and then pursue that amount on your behalf.
Is Hiring an Attorney Really Necessary?

While you are not required to hire an attorney for an auto accident case, it is highly beneficial to have a professional on your side who understands exactly what your case may be worth and what party should be held responsible.
Your attorney can also then take the necessary measures to recover just financial compensation on your behalf, either through an insurance claim or in civil court.
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
Immediately after an auto accident occurs, there are several important steps to take:
- Seek medical attention (for yourself and the other party, if necessary)
- Exchange contact, driver and insurance information with the other driver or drivers
- Do not talk to the other party’s insurance company about the accident, your injures or who may have caused the collision
- Consult a legal professional about your options
