BREVARD CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS: COUTURE LAW PA

According to the Florida Motor Vehicle Crash Records Database, there were 256,206 traffic crashes in 2007 in this state alone. There were 3,221 fatalities from these automobile crashes, and 212,149 injuries. However, these numbers do not communicate the depth of the personal tragedies involved.

Car accidents can be extremely traumatic, changing lives forever in a split second. In the blink of an eye, victims might find themselves in the hospital, dealing with horrible pain and suffering, along with increasing medical bills, lost work and wage, car repair costs and possible increases to insurance premiums.

Brevard car accident lawyer Tara Couture of Couture Law PA specializes in representing injured victims and their loved ones in court and with the insurance companies, helping them gain compensation for lost wages, medical bills and car repairs. Her main goal is to ease your stress and burden as you deal with the aftermath of your life changing accident.

KNOWLEDGE IS KEY IN THE MOMENTS AFTER A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT

Do not attempt to move too much if you suspect any injuries.
Call 911 immediately, or ensure that someone else does.
Record the police officer's badge number.
Ask when you will receive the police report.
If you are uncertain of anything, it is better to say less than too much. You don't want to be accused of changing your story.
Do not talk to insurance adjusters until you contact your Brevard auto accident attorney.
Gather contact information from the other parties and potential witnesses.
Don't sign anything.
Get medical attention even if the injuries are minor. Many chronic injuries emerge months or years after an auto accident occurs, and the opportunity to be properly compensated for your injuries has been lost.

Most motor vehicle accidents involve the following conditions: reckless driving, illegal speeds, "impaired driving" [Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI)] or distracted drivers (mobile cell phones, make-up or "rubber-necking" near construction zones). Thus, one of the key elements of nearly every automobile accident is determining whether one or more of the other drivers were careless or negligent. Drunk driving leads to many serious accidents, injuries and fatalities in Florida annually. In many cases, it is possible to file a negligence suit against the offender to recoup lost wages, pay for medical bills and help ease other financial and physical burden caused by the accident.

Another concern arising from car accidents is the administrative law hearings process in front of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles over your driver's license. This can be very time-consuming and complicated. You need an experienced Brevard car accident lawyer like Tara Couture from Couture Law PA to counsel you throughout the entire process.

Car crashes can be devastating, physically, financially and emotionally. They can lead to spinal injuries, traumatic brain injury, scars, chronic pain and suffering, permanent injury and long-term disability. Place your trust in Brevard car accident attorney Tara Couture to help you receive fair compensation to restore your health and quality of life. She accepts cases from all over Brevard County and the Space Coast, including Melbourne, Cocoa, Titusville, Palm Bay and surrounding cities and counties.
