Traffic laws exist for a reason: to give drivers the instruction and guidance they need to stay safe on the road. When people ignore traffic signs and the rules of the road, they put others in danger. If another driver failed to yield when they were supposed to and it led to an accident that caused you injury, then you should consider taking legal action. Our experienced car accident attorneys in Tampa, FL can help you.
Holding Reckless Drivers Accountable
Some people believe that traffic rules don’t apply to them. They think they can get away with failing to yield when they are supposed to and other types of driving infractions. The driver who caused the accident in which you were injured may not be a serial violator of traffic laws. They may have been in a hurry that day and blew past a yield sign to make an appointment or deal with an emergency. No matter their reason for failing to yield, the person whose reckless action caused the accident must be held accountable.
Why You Need a Lawyer
If you have been in a serious car accident, then you will need to go to the hospital to be checked out for any injuries. And if you were seriously injured, then you must get the proper care and treatment.
When you feel up to it, you should hire a Tampa FL injury law firm. If the other driver was at fault for the accident, then their insurance should pay. Indeed, the other driver’s insurance company may offer you a low-dollar settlement. You should accept no offer until your attorney has had an opportunity to review it. If the initial sum offered covers your medical bills and lost wages and gives reasonable compensation for pain and suffering, then your Tampa FL injury law firm may advise you to accept it. If the sum does not cover your expenses, then they will press for a higher, more justified amount.
