Florida Auto Accident Attorney

Owning an automobile is a privilege, and with that comes a responsibility to drive safely and legally as well as with common courtesy. In many instances other drivers act in a negligent and dangerous way that can lead to injury and even death. The results of an auto collision can be devastating and cause both physical and emotional pain and financial loss.

The negligence can extend beyond that of the other driver to include automobile manufacturers and even those in charge of the very roads we drive on.

The Law Office of Paul B. Genet, P.A. will help fight for your rights as a motorist and to make the roads a safer place for everyone. Below is a list of important things to do right away to protect your legal rights.

Get all information available about the other driver including name, address, phone number, date of birth, driver's license number, insurance company and insurance policy number.
Seek medical attention right away. Symptoms may not show up for several days. Make sure the physician knows you have been in an accident.
If possible, talk to the police officer(s) and get their name(s) and when and where a police report will be available.
Write down as many details about the accident you can remember right away. The longer you wait the less you will be likely to remember.
Talk to as many witnesses as possible and get their names, addresses and phone numbers.
Take pictures of any injuries to yourself, including bruises, cuts, etc.
If possible, take your own pictures of the accident scene as soon as possible, especially if the cars have not been removed from the scene.
Take pictures of any damage done to your automobile.

Making sure all parties are safe is the most important step, but make sure all steps are done immediately to ensure that your legal rights are protected.
