I’ve been hurt in a Florida pedestrian accident and I want to file a claim for my injuries.
The first thing you should do is always go seek medical attention if you have been injured. Now that can be going to the ER, going to an urgent care, going to see your main doctor. The reason that is so important is, that under Florida law, you have only 14 days with which to go seek medical attention if you want it to be covered under your PIP or your Personal Injury Protection benefits. The next important thing to do is always contact an attorney. It is very important to have the attorney involved early on in case there's any evidence that may disappear.
