We will need to prove based on a preponderance of the evidence as outlined by the Florida Courts, that the driver who hit you was speeding. We must demonstrate that their negligence was the cause of your collision and the injuries you suffered. To do this, we may need to hire accident reconstructionists and other experts to help us analyze forensic evidence and establish culpability. For example, we may be able to analyze the black box data from the liable party’s vehicle to determine how fast they were traveling and whether they were accelerating at the time of the accident.
The evidence we collect must be clear and convincing. We must show the jury that the defendant is more than likely responsible for causing your accident. To prove speeding, there are several types of evidence that may be most valuable, including:
There are several possible ways you can ensure the speeding driver who hit you is held accountable. First, you may want to file a claim against your auto insurance policy. Florida follows no-fault insurance laws per Florida Statutes 627.7407, so we will be able to recover a portion of your damages through your insurance claim. However, it is unlikely your insurance will cover every loss. You may get your medical expenses and vehicle repair costs covered, but that may be about it. Your other economic damages and all your non-economic damages can only be recovered by filing a civil lawsuit against the speeding driver. If your claim is successful, they could be ordered to compensate you for the total value of your losses.
If the driver who hit you was speeding, they can be held accountable for the total value of your damages. It is important that we account for every single loss to ensure we get the most out of your claim. Not only do you have the right to compensation for your medical bills and vehicle repair costs, but you should also be repaid for your emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other economic and non-economic losses.
