Marathon, Florida

More than half way down into the Florida Keys, the tropical island paradise of Marathon, Florida attracts thousands of tourists every year, all of whom arrive in motor vehicles. While Marathon is a small community with few roads, US1 poses a serious risk, as do the flock of tourists who do not know their way around as well as locals do. The sudden influx of visitors during the peak season of November through March quickly creates traffic problems, including serious car accidents and collisions and critical injuries. In fact, February and March, which coincide with the highly tourist-attractive Marathon Seafood Festival. are the most dangerous months to be on the roads of Marathon, with over 250 car crashes occurring each of those months in Monroe county in 2016, according to Florida’s Integrated Report Exchange System.

Whether you are a local or a visitor, and regardless of the time of year that the incident occurred, if you were injured in a car crash, you need experienced legal advice as soon as possible. By acting quickly, you greatly enhance your chances of receiving the financial compensation that your injuries demand. As you may well be aware, medical bills can easily mount into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, serious collisions result in a “totaled” vehicle, and the recovery process that you and your family must go through can take months. For financial relief during this tumultuous time in your life, do not hesitate to call the Marathon law offices of Joseph I. Lipsky today for assistance.

After a car accident crash, you have enough tasks and stresses in your life that contacting a lawyer may not be on the top of your list. There is physical recovery to focus on, you have to contact your work and deal with all that entails, chores around the house get neglected, etc. However, the legal stresses that you will inevitably have to deal with, if you desire the sort of compensation that you deserve, will only add to the headache if you do not enlist the help of an established attorney. In order to be compensated by the negligent party that caused the wreck, there are four or five steps that must be taken. These include:

• Determining the cause of the crash so as to accurately place liability;
• Compiling all of your damages (medical, pain and suffering, property damage, lost wages, etc.);
• Discovering insurance policies of the liable party, or finding out what they are personally worth in terms of property;
• Negotiating outside of court to reach a settlement; and sometimes
• Litigation to win a personal injury lawsuit.
