Property damage in a
car accient
Man-made, natural, and automobile accidents can affect our quiet and measured lives. If you have insured your home or car, you can expect to receive compensation by filing a damage claim in Orlando. You can accurately calculate the amount of compensation you can get for Orlando property damage on a motor vehicle, although you will have to involve state highway department specialists in the examination. It will be more difficult to calculate the amount of compensation you can receive for Orlando property damage to houses, campsites, and apartments that were damaged due to man-made or natural disasters. In any case, we recommend that you get help from our Orlando property damage lawyers, who will not only draft a claim but also help you calculate the amount of damages and compensation payments.
Orlando Property Damage Attorneys
Hurricanes have become a frequent occurrence in recent years, causing Orlando property damage. Despite warnings from emergency services, it is not always possible to protect your Orlando property. Broken windows, damaged walls, and mangled landscaping are only some of the troubles that a hurricane can create. An automobile accident has equally dire consequences; not only do people die, but also automobile equipment goes out of commission. Our lawyer will help you write the damage claim and calculate the compensation that you can claim under the existing insurance conditions for your real estate and chattels.
What Is Uninsured Motorist Property Damage Coverage?
According to a report from the Insurance Research Council, one out of every eight drivers in the United States is uninsured. Fortunately, this problem is solved by the insurance system, which has a specific standard in the U.S:
- UM Standard. Uninsured Driver Insurance.
- UIM Standard. Underinsured Driver Insurance.
- Having a special standard for underinsured drivers allows coverage for:
- medical bills;
- funeral;
- loss of wages due to the consequences of an accident;
- compensation for pain and suffering;
- property damage.
All situations will require adherence to the no-fault rule. If the other driver was over 50% at fault, you may be able to receive compensation under the property damage claim (including the minimum amount).
What Is the Compensation for Property Damage Claims in Orlando Car Accidents?
To receive the minimum compensation for a property damage claim in a car accident, the driver must have PIP coverage that covers up to $10,000. In addition, an attorney will help draft a claim that allows you to receive a commensurate amount of compensation under PIP insurance as follows:
- medical bills – up to 80%;
- loss of employment – up to 60%.
You can get up to $10,000 for bodily injury and up to $20,000 for an accident. We recommend contacting our attorney, who will help you prepare claims for other categories of economic or non-economic damages in addition to property damage.
Liability insurance covers property damage in car crashes.
The concept of compensation for property damage in car crashes is broad. You can contact our property damage lawyers who can help you obtain compensation for the following:
- full or partial repair of the car;
- compensation of up to 80% of the cost to repair the vehicle;
- loss of repairs (if your insurance does not cover the cost of restoring your car);
- loss of personal belongings in the car;
- restoration of the damaged car if it was on a lease (carsharing);
- compensation for the cost of the lost amount of fuel.
Only based on expertise can the exact amount of compensation be determined. We recommend contacting our property damage lawyer, who can help with your problem.
Filing a Property Damage Claim
Florida has a general statute of limitations that governs the filing of your property damage claims. You must file your claim within four years of the date on which the force majeure occurred. Our lawyers advise you to not delay filing a lawsuit because, in some cases, a lengthy expert evaluation will be required. Based on the expert evaluation, the amount of compensation is calculated.
How to Check the Status of Your Claim
You can track the status of your lawsuit on the official website of the Florida Department of Litigation. Each claim is assigned an individual PIN. You can entrust representation to our attorney, who will keep you informed of the status of your lawsuit and pretrial proceedings. At each stage of the case, the attorney will inform you of the next steps to take.
