Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common type of personal injury cases that our Jacksonville injury lawyers handle.  Jacksonville presents difficult driving conditions with numerous construction projects, interstate highways, bridges and heavy traffic, which result in numerous serious auto accidents.

Our injury attorneys have handled cases resulting from car accidents occurring in the Jacksonville area including: rear-end collisions; failure to stop at a red light or stop sign; failing to yield to oncoming traffic when making a left turn; improper lane changes; speeding; texting while driving; driving under the influence, and failing to stay in the appropriate lane of travel.

Our Jacksonville attorneys find that people in car crashes that suffer personal injuries are often faced with a whole new array of legal issues and terminology which can be confusing, like personal injury protection insurance, uninsured motorist coverage, maximum medical improvement, obtaining fair settlement for your damaged vehicle, obtaining a rental car, and going back to work, to name a few. Our accident attorneys can handle these issues for you and can explain your rights and best course of action.

At Thomas & Lawrence, P.A., we believe that it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible after an accident. There may be important evidence that needs to be preserved. Also, the at-fault driver's insurance company often appears immediately to represent that driver's interests. Injured persons may be approached by an insurance representative within days of an accident who offers an "inconvenience payment" of several thousand dollars. However, in exchange they will require the person sign a document which releases and eliminates any claim they may have for injuries. Sometimes an injury that seems minor at first ends up becoming very serious. People in this situation can easily regret accepting that small sum of money.

We will be happy to discuss your injury case resulting from car crash either in person, over the phone or by e-mail at no cost or obligation to you. If we accept your case, you will never pay us anything unless and until we make a recovery for you.  We can meet either at our downtown Jacksonville office, our office in Orange Park, or, if convenient, at or near your home.
