Auto & Motorcycle Accidents
Following a car, auto, or motorcycle accident, it is important to call the police and seek medical treatment. Keep in mind that the shock of being in a collision may hide any pain until hours or even days later. Our Ft. Lauderdale, Florida motorcycle and car accident private investigators and lawyers have compiled a complete list of what to do after a car or auto accident. Most importantly, before you speak to the at-fault driver's insurance company about your injury, contact the Law Offices of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. to discuss your accident. Paul S.

How much is my auto accident case worth?
This question is difficult to answer as it depends on many factors:
· If someone else's negligence caused the auto accident and resulted in injuries, one of our lawyers can help you obtain any payment you are entitled to for your medical bills plus compensation for pain and suffering. This would include past and future medical bills.
· If you were seriously injured and missed time from work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages or loss of earning capacity in the future. Our proven Miami, Florida auto accident lawyers can help you retain such compensation. The firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg currently has approximately 1,500 active Florida Workers' Compensation cases.
There is no proven formula to determine exactly how much a case is worth. It will depend on how the evidence and testimony dictate the case. Because of our record of trying these types of cases, our firm is able to determine a general value for your claim. One of our Miami, Florida auto accident / motorcycle lawyers will obtain medical records and bills and will analyze the client's condition pre and post injury in order to provide an estimated value.
How long will it take to bring my auto accident case to a conclusion?
The complexity of the accident as well as the particular injuries sustained will determine the time frame of the outcome. We resolve our client's cases based on an understanding of their current and future medical conditions. Once our law firm becomes involved, the average car or auto accident case is resolved within eight to 12 months.
I have full coverage, why am I not covered?
Full coverage, while it can mean a variety of things, does not automatically imply that bodily injury is covered. Contact your insurance company for clarification on your insurance coverage.
Does my auto insurance cover my motorcycle accident?
Many motorcycle owners believe that they will be covered by their automobile insurance if they are involved in a crash. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In Florida, insurance is not required for the owner and rider of a motorcycle. Furthermore, the PIP coverage a motorcycle owner may have on his car will not cover the owner if injured on a motorcycle. Our Miami, Florida auto accident and motorcycle lawyers can help answer more of your questions concerning your motorcycle accident.
What are the MMI and permanent impairment rating?
At the conclusion of your treatment with a doctor, our Hollywood, Florida car and motorcycle accident lawyers will request a final narrative of your condition. Once your physician has decided you are at Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), some doctor's assign, and insurance company's request, a permanent impairment rating. It does not mean that you are back to the physical or mental condition you were at prior to the accident. It simply means your condition has stabilized and you have a loss. This is generally done pursuant to American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines. A permanent impairment rating technically is not called for as a basis at trial in an automobile case, but many automobile insurance companies like to have the impairment rating so they can evaluate the case.

Our South Florida car, motorcycle, and auto accident attorneys suggest the following steps:

Our Miami, Florida car, motorcycle, and auto accident attorneys will need to know every detail about your injuries, any other losses (such as wages) you have suffered as a result of the accident, and any conversation you had with anyone involved in the accident.
· Talk to no one about the car, motorcycle, or auto accident or injuries other than your attorney or physician. You especially do not want to speak with an insurance adjuster. Our attorneys will be happy to assist you.
· Be sure to take photos of the car, motorcycle, or auto accident scene, including any visible injuries and the vehicles involved.
· Get the contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident who may be able to help prove your case.
