Many people each day are injured in automobile accidents or other types of accidents like slip and fall accidents at restaurants or shop or suffer from personal injuries they sustain at work.  Each and every one of these individuals who are injured through no fault of their own could hire a Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney to represent them in a personal injury case against the party who injured them.

Nearly 95 percent of all automobile accidents on the roadways today are caused by distracted drivers who for one reason or another are not paying attention to what the cars around them are doing.  Recently, cell phone usage and text messaging while driving has become the number one distraction while driving, overtaking eating while driving which used to be the number one distraction for drivers; other things that could cause a driver to be distracted while driving that could possibly cause injury accidents are speaking with passengers, adjusting the radio or watching DVDs or simply thinking about other things.

If you have been injured in an accident through no fault of your own then you should be compensated for your pain and suffering.  However if you did not go to the hospital, an insurance adjuster may see this as the victim not being as injured as the amount warrants so they sometimes try to pay a “nuisance” settlement or a small amount of money for the injured party to go away.  This doesn’t seem fair and that’s why it is important for anyone injured in an accident, whether they went to the emergency room or not, to seek the advice of a Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer.

A personal injury lawyer will have the injured individual seek medical treatment; however if you have suffered ‘soft tissue’ damage or some other injury that does not require you to have gone to the emergency room directly after the accident, the insurance adjuster for the other party will fight because they believe you are not “injured enough”.

This is not fair and that’s why you hire a Fort Lauderdale injury lawyer to represent you and fight for your right under the law.
