Unfortunately, the trauma, stress, and headache of being involved in a Fort Lauderdale car accident do not end after the tow-truck arrives or even when you are discharged from the hospital. The long process of healing can take months, years, or leave you with permanent physical and psychological trauma that results in a disability. Dealing with insurance companies, the at-fault driver, and attorneys with poor communication skills merely prolongs your physical and mental recovery while adding significant financial and emotional stress to the scenario. However, by working with an experienced, compassionate Fort Lauderdale car accident attorney with the Law Offices of Joseph I. Lipsky, P.A, much of that stress can be avoided. Through excellent communication and more than 25 years of experience, Fort Lauderdale car accident lawyer Joseph I.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015, there were just under 3,000 traffic fatalities, and a rate of 12.56 fatalities per 100,000 people. These numbers show a stark contrast between Florida’s 2014 fatalities, which were roughly 500 victims lower, and the safer national rate of 10.42 fatalities per 100,000 people. With Fort Lauderdale’s roads seeing more congestion, more drivers using cell phones, and rising levels of impatience and road rage, severe injuries and fatalities will continue to rise in the years to come. Common injuries that our clients have suffered include:
According to USA Today, the average fatal car crash costs $6 million. A severe injury can easily be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, the amount you receive depends on the severity of your injury, including the medical costs and pain and suffering associated with the injury. The insurance policy limit and real and personal property of the negligent driver will also determine the level of finances that are available to pursue.
