More than three million people are injured and nearly 50,000 are killed in the United States every year in car accidents. If you drive or ride in a car, there is a near statistical certainty that you will be involved in a car accident at some time in your life. Car accidents can be devastating - sometimes deadly.
If you have been involved in a car accident, hopefully you've walked away free from harm. But even in the most minor of Florida car accidents, some degree of injury, such as whiplash
or minor cuts and bruises, can occur.
All too often though, head, neck, back injuries, as well as injury to internal organs and limbs happen. You may not even notice until you get to your destination because an “adrenaline rush” effect can happen immediately after a car accident which may mask your injuries. Yet unless you get immediate assistance to evaluate even hidden injuries, you are at risk of compromising your ability to make future claims. DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis will guide you through making the right legal decisions at this traumatic time.

What to Do Immediately After Your Car Accident
- Call the police so a formal report can be made.
- Get all available information from the drivers involved and all witnesses.

Don't assume the police officer writing the report will identify all the witnesses.
- Take pictures of the scene, the vehicles, and any visible injury you have. The camera on a mobile phone typically works great for this.
- Do not speak with anyone other than the Florida police officer investigating the accident about how the accident happened. Do not admit guilt or innocence on your part. Your statements to the police officer are not admissible in Court. However, your statements to others at the scene are.
- Seek the advice of a Florida car accident attorney.
