Car Crashes | Hit and Run | Legal Advice Tampa
callWhether you have been involved in a car crash or a hit and run accident it is important to seek a reputable personal injury attorney to protect your legal rights. There are many different types of personal injury cases which require the insight and expertise of an attorney able to handle your claim and protect the rights of you and your loved ones.

Here are a few scenarios to consider for preventing potential accidents:

Pedestrian Cross Walks

Traffic around this time of year is heightened and as a result may cause distracted driving. Always be extra cautious when crossing the street and use the required street traffic signs. Pedestrian accidents may occur because the pedestrian assumes the driver is aware of the person crossing the road which may not be the case.

Make sure you do not put yourself in a situation where you are relying on the driver. Cross the street as directed by traffic signs and always double check that the driver acknowledges your presence before crossing.

Car Safety

To prevent car crashes this holiday season it is helpful to get your vehicle checked for maintenance. Car accidents arise not just from distracted drivers, but also from car malfunctions, flat tires, brakes, and engine problems and alike. Getting the proper vehicle check ensures safer driving on the road for not just you, but those around.

Seat Belt Safety

Make sure you wear your seat belt properly. Injuries arise in auto accidents mostly when drivers and their passengers are not wearing seat belts. A seat belt limits severe injuries or even death if an accident occurs. In today’s age, cell phones and forms of communication are on the rise.

No Texting and Driving

In Florida, texting while driving is enforced with recent law on banning texting and driving. To decrease car accidents claims in Florida; texting while driving for those living in Florida has officially been banned and is expected to be followed.

Drinking and Driving

If you have consumed any amount of alcohol do not get behind the wheel. Drinking and driving is a serious risk for you and those around you. DUI charges are severe in Florida and involve serious consequences that will affect you now and in the future.

PIP Law Changes Affect $10,000 Coverage in an Auto Accident

Thank you for watching Minute with Mike, free legal advice answered by attorney Michael C. Blickensderfer every Wednesday at Noon.

Blick law Firm is a local Tampa Bay legal firm specializing in personal injury, criminal, bankruptcy and real estate law all across the state of Florida.

In recent Legislation news, the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) law was recently changed to ensure auto accident victims seek medical treatment quickly to qualify for full insurance coverage.

Florida’s PIP insurance law as adopted by House Bill 119 now requires those injured from an auto accident to seek medical treatment within 14 days of their injury.

If an accident victim does not seek treatment within the 14-day window, they will loose access to full PIP coverage.

The practical effect of these changes will be to limit most PIP claims to only $2,500 in benefits, as most auto accidents involve soft tissue cases not falling under the “emergency medical condition” definition. Everyone is required to obtain and pay for the $10,000 in PIP coverage, but the insurance companies will limit claims to $2,500, resulting in a windfall to the insurance companies and an injustice to the policy holder/ accident victim.
