    THE 3 R’S OF PROPERTY DAMAGE

    CAR RENTAL – KEEP ON THE MOVE

    If you’re having difficulty finding a rental car and are unable to afford the cost until your car is fixed, contact a car accident attorney at The Fischetti Law Group. The firm will investigate your claim and find the coverages on all policies.

    Your Policy: If your policy includes rental coverage, rental costs can be covered. Most policies cover up to a daily and total policy limit.

    Other Driver’s Policy:  If the at-fault policy includes rental coverage, rental costs can be covered. Most policies cover up to a daily and total policy limit. The at-fault insurance can advise if the claim covers a rental.

    CAR REPLACEMENT – TOTAL LOSS CLAIMS

    An insurance company can consider a vehicle a total loss if:

    • Repair costs are more than its ACV

    • The damage amount meets a state’s total loss threshold

    • Damages exceed their pre-accident value according to a state’s total loss formula

    • The car can’t be repaired due to extensive damage

    There are multiple methods that insurance companies use to determine the cost of replacing your car. If you don’t agree with the insurance company’s offer we can make a counteroffer for what you believe is fair. If the insurance company refuses to budge on the offer for your car’s value, you can either accept their offer or we can file a lawsuit on your behalf to get your car’s fair market value.

    CAR REPAIRS – GET BACK ON THE ROAD

    Use your collision coverage – The fastest way to get started on your car repairs is to use your own collision insurance. This requires filing a claim and paying your deductible. Then, your insurance company will start a process to collect the payments made on your claim from the at-fault insurance and will help you recover any out-of-pocket expenses. This process is called subrogation.

    Choose the repair shop of your choice – An insurance adjuster from the at-fault party may try to pressure or persuade you into using one of their preferred repair shops. This is because they have a preset contractual rate with the body shops, so they can save their insured’s money. Only use a car repair shop that you feel comfortable with.

    COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

    • Commercial vehicles cause some of the most devastating accident injuries, owing to their heavy weight and large size.

    • A car accident involving a commercial vehicle can be even more complicated since there are parties other than the driver that may be at fault. Depending on the unique circumstances involved, any of the following parties may be held liable for a commercial vehicle accident:

    • The commercial vehicle driver; Driver’s employer;

    • Company that owns or leases the vehicle;

    • Person or company responsible for the vehicle’s maintenance; and/or vehicle’s manufacturer or the manufacturer of a certain vehicle part.

    DISTRACTED DRIVING

    Distracted driving is the act of driving while engaging in other activities which distract the driver’s attention away from the road. This includes any activity that diverts attention from driving, such as:

    • Mobile Phones: Texting, calling, reading, or using apps on a mobile phone while driving is a significant cause of distraction.

    • Eating and Drinking: Consuming food or beverages while driving can take attention away from the task of driving.

    • Passengers: Interacting with passengers, especially children or pets, can divert attention from the road.

    • Reaching/Holding Objects: Reaching for or holding items within the vehicle, such as a purse, wallet, or sunglasses, can cause distraction.

    • Stress/Fatigue: Driving while agitated or drowsy can impair concentration and increase the likelihood of being distracted.

    • External Interactions: Looking at or responding to external stimuli such as emergency vehicles, roadside accidents, or construction sites can distract drivers.

    Steps to take for recently injured victims

    Injured victims in Florida must take quick action to ensure they can receive the medical care necessary for their recovery. It is crucial that a qualified healthcare provider be seen within 14 days of an accident, or else insurance company benefits may not be provided.

    Qualified healthcare professionals such as medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, and emergency technicians can provide critical services for urgent situations. For more general care, physical therapists or massage therapists may be consulted according to the 14-Day Rule. Outside of these professions are not accepted under this rule set.

    In addition, if you suffered from non-emergency injuries, you can only receive $2,500 in benefits. If you suffered a medical condition, you can receive the maximum payout ( $10,000 P.I.P Benefits); however, you might carry a larger policy.

    4 Years

    In the State of Florida, the statute of limitations is four years. This means you have no more than four years from the date of the discovery of your injuries to file a personal injury claim. For medical malpractice, the status of limitations is two years. This means you have no more than two years from the date of the discovery of your injuries to file a claim. In Florida, the Discovery rule allows you to file a personal injury claim based on the date the injuries were discovered rather than the date of the accident. The discovery rules apply when a person discovers the injuries or should have discovered the injuries.

    *Claim times may vary

    The typical length of treatment for most people injured in a car accident is 6-8 weeks. After that, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to resolve a claim if it does not go to litigation. Of course, every person is different, at our South Florida car accident attorney office, we never rush a client’s treatment to speed up settlements. We work with our clients and their medical team throughout their treatment with our main focus on getting our clients to pre-accident conditions.
