What to do after a car accident
In the first hours after a crash, a few steps protect both your health and your claim:
- Get to safety and call 911. Ask the officer for a police report.
- Photograph the vehicles, the road, and any visible injuries.
- Get the names and numbers of anyone who saw what happened.
- See a doctor right away, even if the pain hasn't set in yet.
- Call us before you give a recorded statement to any insurer.
From there, our Miami-area team guides the next steps, from PIP claims to preserving evidence on US-1, Ponce de Leon, or I-95 near Coral Gables. For a broader picture of recovery options, visit our personal injury overview.
How we help
We investigate fault using crash reports, witness statements, scene photos, and where needed, accident reconstruction. We coordinate medical documentation, handle insurer communications, and build your damages claim: medical expenses, wage loss, and future care. If the at-fault carrier stalls or lowballs, our litigation experience in Miami-Dade courtrooms keeps pressure on.
Common injuries and their costs
Neck and back trauma, fractures, concussions and TBI, shoulder and knee injuries, and scarring are common, and costly. We document ER visits, imaging, specialist care, therapy, and lost time from work to support full compensation, including future treatment or diminished earning capacity when injuries linger.
Dealing with the insurance company
Insurers move fast to minimize payouts. We manage all communications, protect you from recorded statements taken out of context, and counter low offers with evidence-based demands. If a company vehicle or delivery van caused the crash, you can learn more about our approach to commercial vehicle claims.
Florida auto accident laws, in plain English
Florida's no-fault system provides Personal Injury Protection (PIP), typically up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages. You may bring a bodily injury claim against the at-fault driver when injuries meet the statutory threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, loss of important bodily function). We explain timelines, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and how fault affects recovery. For crashes involving a tractor-trailer, see how we handle truck accidents.
Why choose RAM Law & Title
Local access, responsive updates, and a trial-ready approach. From fender-benders on Miracle Mile to serious collisions on I-95, we prepare every case as if it will be tried, so insurers take your claim seriously.
Common questions
Do I need a Coral Gables car accident lawyer after a minor crash?
Even “minor” collisions can cause lasting injuries and insurance disputes. We handle the PIP paperwork, coordinate your care, and protect your injury claim so you don’t settle for less than your losses.
What is Florida PIP and does it limit my claim?
Personal Injury Protection typically pays up to $10,000 for medical and wage benefits regardless of fault. Once your injuries meet Florida’s threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, or loss of bodily function), you can also pursue the at-fault driver. We’ll tell you early which side of that line you’re on.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurer?
Not before getting legal guidance. Adjusters listen for statements that minimize your claim. Let us handle the calls while you focus on recovering.
What if I was partially at fault?
Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law, being mostly at fault can reduce or bar recovery. We investigate the crash so fault is apportioned fairly and your compensation is protected.
How long will my case take?
It depends on your medical recovery, any dispute over liability, and the court’s schedule. We push insurers with evidence-based demands and file suit when that’s what it takes to move things forward.
