Common Causes of Car Accidents in Florida

Car accidents happen for many reasons, but negligence is often at the root. Drivers who fail to prioritize safety on the road put others at risk, and the consequences can be devastating. Whether caused by distractions, reckless behavior, or other preventable actions, identifying the cause of your accident is critical in building a strong case.

Some of the most frequent causes of car accidents include:

Distracted driving – Texting, phone calls, or other distractions that take focus away from the road.
Speeding – Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
Driving under the influence – Alcohol or drug impairment is a leading cause of preventable accidents.
Reckless driving – Aggressive behavior such as tailgating, weaving, or running red lights.
Poor weather conditions – Rain, fog, and other weather hazards can be dangerous without proper precautions.
Defective vehicle parts – Faulty brakes, tires, or other mechanical failures can lead to accidents.

By identifying the cause of your accident, Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC can help establish liability and pursue the compensation you deserve. Holding negligent parties accountable is crucial for promoting safer roads and helping victims rebuild their lives.

The Hardships of Car Accidents

Sitting on the roadside after a car accident, dazed and hurt, can feel like a surreal nightmare. You might be lucky to walk away from the wreck with your life, but the challenges that follow can be a lot to handle.

Here are just a few of the issues you might face after a car accident:

Medical expenses that keep growing - From ambulance rides and emergency care to ongoing physical therapy, the medical costs after an accident can escalate quickly. If someone else caused the crash, they should be held responsible for covering these expenses, but pursuing those payments may require legal action.
Dealing with insurance companies - Insurance companies are known for offering low settlements or outright denying valid claims. Their goal is to protect their bottom line—not look out for your best interests. Having an attorney represent you during negotiations can help ensure you receive the compensation you’re owed.

Lost wages and financial pressure - If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be left without a reliable income. Bills can pile up, adding financial stress to an already challenging situation. A legal claim can help recover wages you’ve lost due to the accident, as well as potential future earnings impacted by your injuries.
Understanding your legal rights - Many people are unfamiliar with their rights after an accident. For example, you have the right to seek compensation not only for medical bills but also for non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and emotional distress. An Okaloosa car accident attorney can help explain your rights and options so you can make informed choices.

At Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC, we refuse to let you suffer alone through these hardships. Our team is committed to fighting for the justice and compensation you deserve, so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Cases

If you’ve been in a car accident, you probably have a lot of questions. At Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC, we aim to educate our clients on their legal options and provide the support they need during this difficult time.

Here are some of the most common concerns we hear and how we address them:

Do I really need a lawyer for my car accident claim?
While it’s possible to represent yourself, having an attorney can improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. Lawyers understand how to negotiate with insurance adjusters and can argue your case effectively in court if needed.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The amount of time you have to file a claim depends on state law. Acting quickly is essential to preserve evidence and ensure your case is filed within the legal time frame.
What happens if I was partially at fault?
Even if you were partially responsible for the accident, you might still recover damages. The laws surrounding shared fault can be complicated, so it’s a good idea to get legal advice tailored to your circumstances.
Should I accept the insurance company’s settlement offer?
Initial settlement offers are often too low to cover the full costs of an accident. Before accepting any offer, it’s wise to consult with an attorney to ensure the settlement reflects the true value of your claim.

Have a question of your own? Answers are just a simple phone call away.
