Frequently Asked Questions about Pensacola Accident Laws

Serving the legal needs of Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach & surrounding areas

If you have suffered an accident injury in Pensacola, chances are you have many questions.  Explored below are some important issues regarding Pensacola laws that you should become familiar with.

What are some common myths about accident cases?

  • There is no time limit regarding when I can make my claim:  The statute of limitations defines a specific date for when you must have filed your lawsuit.  Different statutes of limitations may apply to your case, depending on the type of claim.
  • I have no obvious injuries from the accident, so I cannot make a claim:  Some injuries are not noticeable until days or even weeks after the accident.  Therefore, it is crucial to have a medical examination and consult an attorney as soon as you can after the accident.
  • I do not need to file a lawsuit because my insurance company will provide compensation:  Unfortunately, insurance companies usually put their interests over their clients.  In order to obtain fair compensation, it is always advantageous to consult an attorney.

What should I prepare for my first meeting with a lawyer?

Getting ready to meet with a lawyer for the first time can be intimidating, particularly if you have never needed legal aid before.  The following are a few of the documents you should bring to the initial consultation:

  • Copies of accident reports describing your injuries and what happened
  • Copies of hospital and other medical bills
  • Any diagnoses or prescriptions from the doctor
  • A description of any communication between you and your insurance company

What questions should I ask when selecting an attorney?

Of course, one of the most important things to bring is a list of questions you have regarding the process of making an accident injury claim or about Pensacola accident laws in general.  Examples of common question to ask include the following:

  • How much experience do you have in accident litigation in Pensacola?
