Ideally (and legally), all vehicles on our roads should have valid auto insurance policies and there are plenty of laws to that respect even in Florida. However, there is always a disconnect between what the law states and what actually happens. For instance, in Florida, 1 in every 4 drivers are uninsured, which is not only against state law, but also an added risk to victims of accidents involving these drivers.  Indeed, if you get caught up in an accident involving an uninsured driver in Florida, your legal chances of getting compensation are very limited. It is thus advisable to work with a credible uninsured motorist accident attorney to increase your chances of successful litigation.    Compensation for Medical Expenses For Injuries Caused By Uninsured Drivers If you suffer an injury from the [...]

Car accidents, even minor ones, can be very unnerving. When caught up in one, it's very hard to be calm, even if you didn't sustain any serious injuries.

The chaos and tension that encompass a typical accident scene may also affect the collation of evidence and consequently the final police report. Really, you can't expect the cops to get everything right when the involved parties can't agree who is at fault and some of the witnesses are too shook to give accurate attestations. And while an inconsistent, or incomplete police report won't really matter in court, insurance companies may use [...]

Although there is a common perception that a DUI conviction is proof of fault in the event of an accident, this is not necessarily the case. As a matter of fact, negligence on the part of a driver must be proved beyond reasonable doubt in order for them to be held liable by law.  Unsurprisingly, a driver can be slapped with a DUI conviction for an accident that was caused by someone else.
