Steps to Take After a Car Accident
Taking appropriate steps immediately after a car accident can significantly impact the outcome of your case:
Understanding Florida’s No-Fault Insurance System
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, requiring drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This means your own insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, PIP coverage may be insufficient for severe injuries, allowing you to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit
Dealing with Insurance Companies After an Accident
Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. It’s essential to approach interactions with caution.
Avoid Admitting Fault
Even casual remarks can be used against you. Stick to the facts when discussing the accident.
Be Cautious with Recorded Statements
You are not obligated to provide recorded statements without legal counsel.
Consult Your KFB Law Attorney
Before accepting any settlement offers, our attorney will review them to ensure they cover all your damages.
What to Do After a Car Accident: Detailed Steps
Knowing what to do in the moments after a crash can protect your health, your rights, and your ability to recover compensation. Here’s a practical breakdown of the steps to follow—and where to find more in-depth info if you need it:
1
Get Medical Attention
Always get checked out, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries, and having medical records is crucial to any claim.
2
Call the Police and Get an Accident Report
A police report documents the scene, identifies the parties involved, and can help determine fault. This will be one of the key documents needed later in your case.
3
Gather Evidence at the Scene
Take photos of everything: damage to vehicles, the surrounding area, skid marks, traffic signals, and any injuries. Collect witness contact information and jot down your own notes about what happened.
4
Secure Dash Cam Footage
If you or someone involved had a dash cam, that footage could be crucial in proving fault. Dash cam footage can help establish fault and support your claim. Time is important—dash cam data may be automatically overwritten if not saved quickly.
5
Collect and Organize Important Documents
In the days following your accident, start compiling all relevant documents: police reports, medical records, repair estimates, insurance communications, and anything else related to your crash and injuries.
6
Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident to your insurer, but stick to the facts. Avoid speculating or admitting fault. If you’re unsure what to say, a car accident attorney from KFB Law can help guide you.

Common Tampa Car Accidents We Can Help You With
You’re not alone — many of our clients had the same concerns before reaching out. At KFB Law, we listen, we understand, and we find solutions tailored to your situation.
Rear End Collisions
Rear end collisions tend to be the most common, can cause severe injuries at low speeds, and are where people often experience “whiplash.”
Parking Lot Accidents
Parking lot accidents, such as backing in and out of parking lots, lanes with vehicles moving in multiple directions, and pedestrians everywhere, are the perfect storm for a collision.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are probably the scariest accident you could face with catastrophic injuries. These collisions can come from negligence, distracted driving, drunkenness, or other kinds of impairment.
DUI Accidents
DUI accidents are serious crimes with life-threatening consequences. We pursue all reasonable means of obtaining payment on behalf of our clients when punitive damages are allowed.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run accidents occur when someone flees a crime scene after causing damage and injury; we will help gather information from you to identify the perpetrator in cooperation with law enforcement.
Rideshare Accidents
Using a ridesharing app doesn’t always guarantee you’ll be with a conscientious driver or that they’ll have the required insurance. This is where we come in to help protect you against Uber car accidents, self-driving cars, and other related negligence.

The Long-Term Impact of Bicycle Accidents
Beyond the immediate physical injuries, bicycle accidents can have long-term effects on your life, including chronic pain, disability, and emotional trauma. At KFB Law, we understand that recovering from an accident involves more than just physical healing. We advocate for compensation that also accounts for future medical needs, rehabilitation, and the emotional toll of the accident.
How much compensation am I entitled to?
The damages you could receive depend on the specifics of your case. Let’s look at the factors that determine compensation:
1
Medical bills
If your insurance isn’t enough to cover present or future medical expenses, you may receive monetary damages to cover the cost.
2
Lost earnings
If you can’t work now or in the future, you could receive money to make up for lost wages.
3
Property damage
It may seem like a minor detail, but if your bicycle was broken in the accident, you could receive compensation – especially if your bike was your only means of transportation.
4
Emotional suffering
This is difficult to quantify, but you could receive a payout based on the emotional and mental anguish you experience as a result of the accident.

Florida’s Comparative Negligence Law
In Florida, bicycle accident cases are subject to comparative fault laws, which means that if you are found partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced. However, even if you were partly responsible, you could still recover damages. Our attorneys will work to minimize any claims of contributory negligence to maximize your compensation.
Our Result-Driven Process
We handle all the legal heavy lifting—so you can focus on recovery, while we focus on results.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much more

Marcus Fernandez was amazing. I have been in two car accidents that were not my fault. He handled both accidents with respect, and strength. Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!! I highly recommend Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire!!!! This law firm is a great group of individuals who care about their clients and are determined to get results!!!!
