// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE

Side-Impact Car Crash Lawyers in Boca Raton

Side-impact accidents are when two vehicles traveling parallel to each other collide, such as when drivers change lanes without seeing the car next to them or when they drift out of their lane. The danger is largely due to the location of the accident, as side-impact collisions most commonly occur on highways and freeways. High-speed limits and being surrounded by other vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed, coupled with the fact that it can be harder to check your blind spots in this environment, exponentially elevates the risk of a severe collision with a car in your blind spot.

As a result, side-impact accidents are one of the most dangerous types of accidents, falling just under head-on collisions in terms of fatalities – especially for occupants younger than 12. Even a minor collision can have a substantial impact on children, who are more likely to sustain a lifelong injury.

If you or a loved one has been severely or critically injured in a side-impact collision in Boca Raton due to another driver’s negligence, the aggressive car crash lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga will zealously pursue maximum compensation so you and your family can recover from the accident with peace of mind.

What Should You Do If You’ve Been in a Side-Impact Accident? 

It can be hard to think in the immediate aftermath of an accident, but what you do next can be crucial to fortifying the validity of your claim and protecting it against baseless assertions. After moving your car out of the way of traffic, if possible, you should seek medical attention right away.

The best thing you can do for your claim is to see a doctor, even if you don’t think you need it. This serves two purposes:

Contact law enforcement to ensure that a detailed accident report is filed. Not only will this give you valuable evidence to bolster your claim, but it can also protect you from legal penalties.

In Florida, you are legally required to report any accident that involves injuries, deaths or property damage exceeding $500 or else risk fines and even jail time if it’s a major accident. Even if you call and the police don’t come to the scene, you’ll still need to file a written accident report in no less than ten days after the accident.

You should also consult with an experienced Boca Raton car crash injury lawyer as soon as possible. The experienced auto accident attorneys at our personal injury law firm can help you through the legal process, liaising with insurance companies while we work to maximize your possible compensation.

Should I Speak to the Other Driver?

Beyond exchanging the legally required contact and insurance information, you should minimize any discussion of the accident with the other drivers involved. While a lawsuit may be the last thing on your mind in the immediate aftermath of an accident, refraining from saying anything about what caused the crash or who was at fault to the other driver will strengthen future legal efforts.

The other driver could potentially use even an off-handed “sorry” against you later. If you do hire a car crash lawyer, you should let them handle negotiations with the other driver and their insurance company. Our Boca Raton car crash attorneys are experienced negotiators. We know all the tricks and ploys insurance companies use to get plaintiffs to say the wrong thing and will help shield you from their tactics.
