As one of the southernmost South Florida municipalities, Florida City, Florida has been through a lot, including extreme hurricane damage. However, as the mainland “Gateway to the Florida Keys and to the Everglades National Park,” Florida City regularly sees a significant amount of traffic. Most of the area is home to tourist attractions and hotels, which means many people traveling through town are visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area.
Having so many visitors is always a risk to the 12,000 residents of Florida City and increases the risk of car accidents that occur in the area. Any car accident has the potential to cause life-altering injuries, which can affect your life physically, emotionally, and financially. It is important to know where to turn if you have sustained any type of injury in a crash.

Car accident injuries can vary widely in both type and severity. However, no matter what type of injury you sustain, you have legal rights to compensation under Florida law for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other injury-related losses.
There are different ways you can protect your legal rights to compensation for all of your losses, including the following:
See a medical professional: The sooner you undergo a medical evaluation, the sooner you can receive the treatment you need. Going to the emergency department not only ensures a timely diagnosis for treatment’s sake, but also can be used to prove all of the injuries that resulted from the crash.
Understand the insurance process: Florida law requires that each driver has a PIP insurance policy that should cover medical expenses and similar losses after a crash. However, PIP insurance claims rarely go as expected and you should always be cautious of any settlement offers and seek legal guidance and assistance before even making a claim.
Speak to an attorney as soon as possible: An experienced car accident attorney can begin helping you almost from the very moment after your crash. A lawyer can advise you of your rights, handle the insurance process for you, and file a legal claim in court if it is necessary to ensure you receive the full amount you deserve.
