The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that each year 5 million people sustain motor vehicle-related injuries that require medical treatment. Auto accidents are a common occurrence, especially in areas with heavy traffic, like West Palm Beach, Florida. An auto accident is one of the most terrifying and stressful times in a person's life. Besides having to deal with the pain of your injuries, there are other considerations, such as the damage to your vehicle and working with the insurance company. It is certainly not easy. At the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb, we understand your situation and will help you get through it.

Why Did the Car Accident Happen?
According to the CDC, injuries sustained in a car accident are the leading cause of death of people between ages 1 to 34. There are numerous reasons why auto accidents occur, including reckless driving, distracted driving, intoxicated driving, texting while driving, and falling asleep at the wheel. Many of these accidents are preventable. 

Who is Responsible for the Auto Accident?
In many cases, it is clear who was at fault in the collision. Negligence is the legal basis of a claim in the majority of auto accident cases. Under the law, a person is negligent if he or she fails to act as a reasonable and prudent person would in the same or similar circumstances. This standard applies to every person. When a person fails to act with care and prudence, they have acted negligently. Whether a person intended the outcome is irrelevant. 

Can You Recover Compensation?
If you have sustained injuries in a car accident, you may be able to recover compensation. In most cases, an insurance company, the other driver's or your own, will pay for the damages. The compensation amount will depend partly on who was at fault. One driver may bear the entire fault for the accident or both drivers may bear some fault. Because Florida is a comparative negligence state, you may still be able to recover some compensation. A damage award may include recovery for medical treatment, past and future lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. 

What Should You Do After an Auto Accident?
It is important to maintain a record of the expenses that resulted from the accident. These records will help establish the basis of your recovery amount. Record information about medical bills, lost wages, pain, fatigue, emotional distress, missed opportunities, damage to the vehicle, and out-of-pocket expenses for products and services. These records will help create an accurate assessment of your damages.

If you have been injured in an accident in Florida, it is important to contact a car accident attorney as soon as possible. Call 800-GOLD-LAW or 561-697-4440 to speak with a West Palm Beach injury attorney at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb.
