Miami Head-On Collisions Lawyer

Head-on collisions are dangerous and can leave you or someone you love with serious injuries. Head-on collisions can also lead to the loss of someone you love. If you or a member of your family was injured in a head-on collision in Miami, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation for your injuries, medical treatments, and other related expenses.

According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), 3,471 head-on collisions resulted in fatalities in 2017. Head-on collisions accounted for 10.1 percent of all fatal motor vehicle accidents.

The injuries people can sustain in head-on collisions can create temporary changes in their physical abilities and their ability to work to support themselves or their families. If this is the case for you, you do not have to absorb the financial impact of the accident on your own. Instead, a Miami head-on collisions lawyer can help you fight for compensation from the at-fault party or parties.

If you are interested in filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit, contact the personal injury team at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers by calling (305) 944-2035 today.

We Can Help You Create a List of Your Injuries and Their Related Expenses

Start building your compensation claim by creating a list of your physical injuries and the costs of their related treatments. Common physical injuries you might incur after a car accident may include:

• Whiplash
• Concussions
• Head injuries
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries

These injuries may require treatments that include prolonged rest, immobilization, bone setting, and corrective surgery. Your injuries can also require over-the-counter and prescription medications to treat pain and manage infections. If you have limited mobility, you may need to use assistive medical devices, such as crutches, braces, foam collars, and wheelchairs.

Beyond medical expenses, you may be entitled to receive compensation from the at-fault driver to cover other damages, including:

• Current lost income
• Future lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Physical disability
• Physical disfigurement
• Mental anguish
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Property loss

Share copies of your relevant records, reports, and receipts with your lawyer, who can help you assign a financial value to your personal injury claim. If your claim is miscalculated or undervalued, you risk not receiving less than what you need to recover from your losses.

We can help if your head-on wreck involved a commercial vehicle. In this situation, you can secure professional help from a Miami truck accident lawyer.

Resolve Your Personal Injury Claim With a Financial Settlement

You may be able to avoid going through a lengthy court case by agreeing to a financial settlement. You, not your lawyer, make the final decision to accept or reject a settlement offer. If you agree to an offer, your claim for financial compensation will be permanently resolved.

That means you will absolve the at-fault driver of any further financial obligation in writing, and you will not be able to seek any further compensation later, even if you uncover additional financial damages. Because your settlement is permanent, assigning the right monetary value to your claim is important.

Your lawyer can also help ensure you do not accept a settlement offer too soon or one that does not fairly cover the cost of the accident.

Let Us Help You Create a Strong Case

If you were involved in a car accident in Miami, you can hire a lawyer to help you build a comprehensive case that supports your claims. Your case file might contain documents and evidence that prove the cause of the accident and its financial impact. Our team might request any or all of the following:

• The crash report
• Medical records
• Medical bills
• Medication receipts
• Work history
• Mechanic bills
• Vehicle value
• Injury photos

This evidence may be used to prove the costs of your medical bills, your salary wages, and the costs of repairing or replacing your damaged or destroyed vehicle, among other expenses you incurred. Photos of your injuries may help prove how long you endured physical pain and suffering from your injuries.

Find out how a Miami head-on collisions lawyer may be able to help you recoup these costs by contacting Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers. Call (305) 944-2035 to speak with one of our team members today.

Time Matters in Your Personal Injury Claim

Did you know that Florida’s statute of limitations limits your right to file a personal injury lawsuit? According to Florida Statute § 95.11, you generally have two years to file your personal injury lawsuit. Because the clock starts ticking on the day the accident occurs, you should start building your lawsuit or consider hiring a local lawyer right away.

Failing to file your lawsuit within the allotted time could put your right to financial compensation in jeopardy because if you do not file it on time, your lawsuit may be dismissed by the court. That can mean the driver who caused the accident would not have to pay your medical bills, lost wages, or any other expenses related to the accident.

Our legal team can help you file your personal injury lawsuit on time.
