EST ANNUAL COST OF FLORIDA CAR ACCIDENT FATALITIES
$4,400,000,000
According to
CDC, the economic toll of fatal auto accidents in Florida in recent years was more than $4.4 billion, including the
expense of medical care, missed income, and property damage. Due to the rise in the cost of living, costs of treating injuries brought on by common causes and traffic accidents have often skyrocketed to the millions. Contact Hogan Smith today to determine if you or your loved one have a personal injury case.
Insurance Providers Will Not Offer a Fair Settlement
An insurer may contact you with an initial offer if you file a personal injury claim. Remember that you might not be fairly compensated by this offer. It takes time to assess your damages precisely, and an insurance provider will want you to accept a minimal payment.
To ensure that your family is receiving everything to which they are entitled, we can evaluate any offer. If required, we can litigate your case and seek a just settlement. Even though some cases are settled before they go to trial, we occasionally file a lawsuit right away.

You pay thousands of dollars each year for insurance to guarantee you will be reimbursed should an accident occur. If you carry collision coverage on your vehicle, you are entitled to all benefits required to replace your vehicle and pay for medical treatment, regardless of fault. If your insurance company is refusing to pay what you deserve, contact Hogan Smith today to fight to that which you are entitled.
Personal Injury Compensation
An auto accident personal injury victim may be able to pursue compensation for their damages depending on the specifics of the incident or auto accident, the seriousness of their injuries, and other considerations.
Medical Bills
You or your loved one may be eligible for compensation for medical treatment, physical therapy, prescriptions, medical equipment, rehab costs, etc.
Long Term Care
If you require long-term or permanent treatment or care due to diminished abilities, you may be eligible for compensation.
Lost Wages
If you are unable to perform your required tasks at your job for a period of time, you might be entitled to lost wage compensation.
Pain and Suffering
Calculating the Unseen Personal Injury Costs
Pain and suffering are different for each claimant, but fairly common standards are used to calculate compensation. Things that will be considered are the physical pain caused by the vehicle accident injuries, the after-effects of the pain such as anxiety, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, the pain caused by needed treatments or therapies to treat your injuries, and the subsequent limitations on your life due to your injuries and/or treatments. Hogan Smith attorneys will help you gather the appropriate documentation and evidence to get the maximum compensation for your pain and suffering.

Making the Most of Your Accident Claim

Why do I need a personal injury attorney?
The stress involved in handling an auto accident claim is sometimes underestimated. People falsely believe that without hiring a personal injury lawyer , everything will go according to plan and that the insurance company will provide a reasonable payment. Unfortunately, without a personal injury lawyer , the process is rarely smooth.
The auto claim procedure is actually a laborious and time-consuming one, and if you do it without a personal injury lawyer , you risk receiving a payout that is significantly less than you deserve. Numerous factors should be taken into consideration before entrusting your case to an experienced personal injury lawyer , including intimidating depositions and confrontations with aggressive insurance representatives.
