With Another Car With a Semi Truck With a Motorcycle With a Pedestrian Other Type of Accident or InjuryThe insurance companies know what they’re doing, so you need a Fort Lauderdale car accident attorney to lead you through the claims process too.
David Fuchs began practicing law in 1988, and he applies the knowledge gained to both the professional and personal experience. His negotiation skills are what make him stand out in the legal industry and they make him a force with the insurance companies. In fact, his technique is so effective that he trains his staff to use the same strategy.
His primary objective is getting you the compensation you deserve after a car accident, but he also knows the short-term needs that come with a car accident injury. If your vehicle is out of commission, he’ll help you get it repaired and set you up with a rental car at no charge to you. In addition, you will always speak with a car accident lawyer about your case, not an assistant or paralegal.
Even minor car accidents can result in costly expenses. The financial burden should fall on the liable party’s shoulders, not yours.
Car accidents can be traumatic, and they vary in severity. In fact, you should hire an accident attorney even for minor accidents because they can still require you to pay extensive fees. Furthermore, if you’re unfamiliar with the claims process, insurance companies can take advantage of you and limit the compensation you deserve by negotiating low offers.
This leaves you with an unfair compensation to cover your injuries, repairs, and pain and suffering. A car accident attorney can examine your case, reconstruct the accident with experts, and prove the at-fault party’s negligence.
There are numerous forms of compensation depending on the details of your car accident case, and going through this process alone will limit the amount you could receive. That being said, it’s always worth hiring an auto accident attorney, especially if your car insurance can’t cover your damages entirely, requiring you to sue the at-fault party for your losses.
David Fuchs spent the last three decades building a car accident law firm that puts your time and priorities first.

Common types of car accidents
All Accident TypesYou may not remember every detail of your car accident, but we’ve done this long enough to help uncover what’s been forgotten.
Determining who caused your auto accident and who is financially liable for your losses is key in any car accident claim. Car accident attorney David Fuchs puts his 30 years of experience to work, and brings in his expert resources to dissect the scene of the accident to find those at fault.
We use the evidence we uncover to prove to the auto insurance companies, or jury if it goes to trial, that someone else is to blame and there is money out there that you are owed.
We recreate the accident scene using accident reconstructionist experts. In addition, we’ll track down and speak with eyewitnesses and passengers of cars that may have been involved to help us determine exactly what caused the car accident and who caused it.

The simple answer is it depends. There are several factors that are instrumental in determining how much your case is worth. Learn more below.
Our consultations are a win-win for you – no pressure to hire if you have a car accident case, and if you do, we get right to work. Our car accident lawyers will begin a free initial consultation with a few questions:
You should bring any accident-related documents with you, such as police reports and medical bills. You can obtain an accident report from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. If you don’t have these documents yet, our accident attorneys in Fort Lauderdale will get them for you.
Our goal is to collect as much information as possible during this initial meeting so we can determine how much your personal injury case is worth.
In the state of Florida, you have four years from the time your accident occurred to file a personal injury claim against the at-fault drivers' insurance. This means that you need to act fast so that our accident attorneys can examine your case and determine the amount of compensation that can potentially be owed to you.
You may request a crash report with the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles on their website. You have to wait ten days from the date of your crash before the report is made available. You can also obtain an accident report from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
Although Florida is a "No-Fault" state, liability still plays a crucial role in car accident claims in Fort Lauderdale, and you can still sue the at-fault party for your losses. Personal injury protection coverage only covers up to $10,000, and if the other party involved is liable, you can sue them for your losses.
Collision insurance will cover your car repairs if your vehicle collides with another vehicle, hits an obstruction, or involves rolling or falling over. Your collision insurance will not cover any damage to another car or your medical bills.
