Car Accidents Leading to Personal Injury in Tallahassee

On the Talgov website, there is a feature that allows you to view active calls to the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) as well as calls that have been made in the last twenty-four hours. On any given day, the Tallahassee Police Department will have approximately 400 - 600 calls, and 10 - 30 of those calls are typically reports of traffic accidents. While 10 - 30 car accidents may not seem like a significant amount, it serves as a reminder that accidents happen every day. Even if you are a safe driver, when you make the choice to drive, you are not exempt from being unexpectedly rear-ended, t-boned, or sideswiped by another vehicle.


When you visit the Talgov website and check out the number of calls made for car accidents, you’ll see the calls have three designations: “Crash without Injuries,” “Crash – Hit & Run,” and “Crash with Injuries.” These distinctions will have a significant bearing on your case. It’s a common misconception that if involved in a hit and run, the driver who was hit would be unable to pursue a claim. On the contrary, if you carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on your insurance policy you will be able to make a claim. If you do not carry UM coverage, you should look into adding it to your policy right away because there are many uninsured and underinsured drivers on the road.


In the event you are involved in an accident and suffer significant bodily injuries, you should contact a personal injury attorney immediately. We have had many clients over the years attempt to deal with insurance companies directly and end up getting a much smaller payout than they would’ve received had they been represented by an attorney. When injuries come into play, the policyholder is looking at a sizable settlement but that payout comes with conditions. One of the major factors that contribute to a good outcome for an auto accident case with injuries is continued medical treatment. Failure to seek medical attention or failure to receive appropriate diagnoses can have substantial impacts on the value of your potential case. Regardless of the classification of your car accident, contacting a personal injury attorney will help you determine what your options are.
