People talk about accidents occurring in slow motion, but the immediate aftermath of an auto accident is likely to be a blur. Following that, as you deal with the other driver, police, possibly emergency medical personnel, and then the insurance company, it is a time of pain and stress. If a death has occurred, the pain and stress of survivors increases immeasurably.

Being in a collision or another type of car accident is a common occurrence, but it is usually a unique experience for those involved.

Helping you get the compensation you deserve

Not all alcohol-related car accidents involve a driver who is legally drunk. Alcohol has a measurable impact on a driver's reflexes and decision-making at levels below .08 blood alcohol content (BAC). We have extensive experience in car accident cases. We know how to investigate an accident and prepare your case to demonstrate why you are entitled to full compensation. We have an excellent record of verdicts and settlements for victims of all types of motor vehicle accidents, including those where alcohol was a factor.

There are many ways to show that the driver who caused your accident was behaving negligently. A driver who is speeding or checking a cellphone is driving negligently. A driver who is impaired by alcohol is driving negligently. If the driver who caused your accident is convicted of DUI/DWI, that is certainly evidence of negligent driving. With or without a criminal conviction, Colette Heck can help you present the strongest possible case to get you the compensation you deserve.

Working hard to ensure you receive the settlement you need

There's little doubt that motorcycles are a lot of fun to ride and, in today's economy, they can save you money when it comes to gas. However, people riding motorcycles have very little protection and are always at a much greater risk of serious injury when involved in a motor vehicle accident. Head injuries or even a fatality can occur even though the motorcycle rider was wearing a helmet and the proper riding gear. In most road accidents, the motorcyclist is almost always thrown from their motorcycle into the street or into other vehicles involved in the crash.

Contact an experienced motorcycle injury attorney

Motorcycle accidents will often result in a very serious injury or death, and it is therefore extremely important for those involved in a motorcycle accident to contact an experienced motorcycle injury attorney in order to properly recover costs for injuries, medical bills, distress, loss of wages, medical expenses, and other damages caused as a result of the motorcycle accident.

You should also make sure to do the following:
-Report the accident to local law enforcement and insist upon an accident crash report
-Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think you are not injured. Being involved in a motorcycle accident can result in severe shock, so any injuries may not be immediately apparent.
-Get the license number, personal and insurance details, and name of the other driver involved.
-Ask for the details and names of any witnesses present at the accident scene.
-Take pictures to document your injuries and damages as soon as possible.

The few minutes after a car crash

Colette Heck feels it is important to educate her clients in obtaining adequate insurance coverage if they are involved in another accident. In Florida, for example, the law does not mandate bodily injury coverage. Therefore, many people injured by Florida drivers are never compensated for their loss because of inadequate insurance coverage.

Florida’s Statute S627.737 requires that in order to obtain any compensation for pain, suffering, mental anguish, and inconvenience because of bodily injury, sickness, or disease arising out of either the ownership, maintenance, operation, or use of a motor vehicle the injury or disease must result in a significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, or a permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability or a significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement or death. The few minutes after a car crash can literally make the difference between winning or losing your case, even when the accident is not your fault.
