• MEDICAL TREATMENT: Seek medical treatment before you do anything else. You don’t want to leave your injuries untreated. Never delay treatment only because you think you will eventually get better. Moreover, delaying treatment can help the defense during litigation.
• IMAGES: Take pictures of the vehicles involved in the accident. Make sure you take pictures from various angles and distances to clearly show the impact of the accident and the damage the vehicles have suffered. If you forget to take pictures on the spot, you may not get a second chance. Vehicles are repaired quickly these days.
• WITNESSES: Who was watching the accident? Note down the names of the witnesses and ask them about what they saw. Take notes of what every witness described. (If it is possible considering your personal injuries.)
• DON’T TALK UNLESS IT’S TO YOUR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY: Don’t talk to anyone from an insurance company until you have contacted your car accident attorney. Your Miami car accident lawyer can provide you with the best advice in order to deal with these companies after an accident.
• THE ‘BLACK BOX’: When involved in an accident, the ‘black box’ of the vehicle can be used in a court of law as a piece of corroborative, and sometimes conclusive, evidence. Make sure you obtain this box and help the court take note of important facts such as vehicle speed, direction, acceleration, and other data.
• CAMERA FOOTAGE: If the accident or crash happened near an intersection, contact your Miami car accident lawyer at the earliest. Intersections usually have security cameras installed to watch over traffic violations. Unfortunately, these cameras are automatically re-recorded after a certain time and your recording may be lost forever. Your Miami accident attorney will know how to obtain a copy of the recording before it's too late.

Accidents involving automobiles can turn into an insurance nightmare. Mr. Quackenbush’s advice is to always consult with your Miami car accident lawyer before talking to an insurance company representative.

WHAT TYPE OF AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE DO YOU HAVE?
It’s important to determine the type of automobile / car insurance you and the other driver had at the time of the accident. In Miami, various types of automobile insurances are available, with varying insurance limits.

ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
If you purchase automobile insurance in Miami, you are usually entitled to 10,000 of PIP benefits automatically. These benefits can be used to cover loss of wages and medical bills resulting from the injuries caused by the car accident. It’s important to note that these benefits are available irrespective of whether the accident was the error of the other driver or yours.

BI (BODILY INJURY COVERAGE)
In addition to standard insurance covering some PIP benefits, you can also purchase additional Bodily Injury (BI) coverage in Miami. This type of insurance provides extra coverage when the other driver caused the accident. It also provides coverage when you were not the driver of the car, but a passenger in a vehicle involved in an accident. In this case, you will be entitled to BI irrespective of whose fault caused the accident.

It’s important to note that BI coverage is optional, which means many drivers don’t have it.

UM (UNINSURED COVERAGE)
Another type of insurance coverage available in Miami is Uninsured (UM) coverage. It covers you when the driver at fault didn’t have BI coverage. In such cases, UM protects you and covers injuries caused to you.

UM insurance also provides coverage after a hit-and-run accident. Most often, during these situations it is not possible to identify the other driver, and you have no information about his/her insurance coverage.

If a relative who is living with you carries a UM policy, it can cover you when you are involved in an accident caused by an underinsured or uninsured motorist. You can receive compensation when any of your resident relatives has UM coverage.

When you want to purchase a UM policy, it’s important to know that you can only purchase UM coverage up to the limits of your BI coverage. The limits can change if you have more than one vehicle in your household and you buy stacking UM coverage. Consult with your Miami car accident lawyer as to the best type of car accident insurance for your needs.
