Brooks & Brooks Law Firm

DO NOT LEAVE THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT CALLING THE POLICE AND WAIT AT THE SCENE UNTIL THE POLICE OFFICER SHOWS UP. People change their stories right after they leave the scene of an accident. Therefore, do not leave without making an official record of what happened. If there are any witnesses at the scene, ask for their phone number. A witness is very important in establishing as to what really happened.

New proposed legislation that would change the lives of every Floridian!

It is with GREAT CONCERN that I write this email today. There isn’t much talk in the press about this and the people of Florida are unaware of what is happening in Tallahassee with our elected legislators and insurance companies. As we all know, insurance companies take our money every day being that for car insurance, health insurance, home insurance, life insurance, boat insurance and whatever other insurance we need to buy. They make billions of dollars a year; however, they are still not quite happy. Right now they are trying to change major laws in our state that govern the rights of car accident victims which will make it impossible for any person involved in a car accident to ever receive the medical treatment that they will need. The people that do not have health insurance, will be affected even worse by this bill. All of this is being done under the guise of TORT REFORM. It is not tort reform-it is padding the pockets of insurance companies even more and concentrating power in the hands of big corporations.

The gist of this bill is that when a person gets in a car accident, they cannot go to a doctor of their choosing. They have to go where their health insurance company tells them to go to, and if they have no insurance, they cannot go to treat at all. The doctors that help people get good quality medical treatment without asking to be paid before they even render treatment, which is always the case with the doctors that work under health insurance, will no longer practice in this area of medicine. People will no longer be able to get procedures that would help them live more normal lives without having to pay out of pocket.

The bill that has been proposed and is being lauded by our elected officials as a great TORT REFORM, literally puts an end to any right that an accident victim ever had. The insurance companies will control our lives even more than they already do. As we all have either experienced ourselves or have had a loved one go through it, health insurance companies determined what treatment and when a person can receive that treatment. Often times, insurance companies deny life saving treatment to cancer patients. Well, that’s what they are trying to do with this TORT REFORM bill-give the car insurance companies the power to take our money to insure our cars but never have to pay a dime if we get injured. We would be slaves to the insurance companies and 100% dependent on whether they feel we are hurt or not hurt enough. Even without this awful new proposed legislations, it is extremely difficult to ever get insurance companies to value people’s injuries for what they are. They always argue that the person is not hurt enough, therefore, they should not pay much or anything at all.

PLEASE BE PROACTIVE AND CALL YOUR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIAL AND SPEAK UP. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN HOPE IT WON’T AFFECT YOU AND NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED. THIS WILL AFFECT EVERY PERSON THAT LIVES IN OUR STATE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN POLITICS AND NEVER SENT MY CLIENTS EMAILS OF THIS NATURE, BUT THIS IS A TIME FOR ALL OF US TO BE INVOVLED. TAKING AWAY RIGHTS FROM PEOPLE WHO GET DEVASTATED BY CAR ACCIDENTS THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN IS NOT TORT REFORM. IT IS A WAY TO STOMP ON ALL OF US TO BENEFIT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

CALL YOUR DISCTRICT CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS AND TELL THEM ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AND HOW DEVASTATING BEING IN A CAR ACCIDENT WAS AND HOW STRESSFUL IT WAS TO DEAL WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES. THIS IS A FIGHT FOR YOUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF GENERATIONS TO COME. SITTING ON THE SIDELINES IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ANY OF US! ONE EMAIL, ONE POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA WILL HELP EXPLAIN TO THE UNINFORMED ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT WHAT INSURANCE COMPANIES CLAIM IS NOT TRUE.

PLEASE ADD UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE TO YOUR AUTO INSURANCE POLICY

Look at this picture of an actual policy. This family has really great coverage for Property Damage and Bodily Injury, but that only protects other people if they cause an accident. They have no coverage to protect themselves and their children. The portion of your insurance policy that would protect you, your children and your family, is Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. Uninsured/Underinsured coverage is optional in Florida but when you reject it, you are exposing yourself and your family to serious consequences. Due to the economic situation we are in now, 70% of drivers in Florida either have $0 coverage for Bodily Injury or only have $10,000. That $10,000 disappears with just one visit to the hospital. If you don’t have Uninsured Motorist coverage, you will be left with nothing to recover from anyone and responsible for all of your medical bills, not to mention lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical bills and loss of your car.
I would bet that if you asked 10 of your friends and family if they have Uninsured Motorist in their policy, at least 9 of them will realize that they don’t, and one of them may be you. And out of those 10 friends, I would bet that at least 5 do not even have Bodily Injury. Things were not good before in our state, however, right now they are the worst we have ever seen them in the last 18 years when it comes to people having car insurance. People are driving with no insurance at all, and every day we have to tell families that there will be no money for them to pay for their medical bills or to get the treatments they need.

POR FAVOR AGREGUE LA COBERTURA DE CONDUCTORES NO ASEGURADOS O CON ASEGURACIÓN INFERIOR A SU PÓLIZA DE SEGURO DE AUTOMÓVIL

Mire esta imagen de una póliza real. Esta familia tiene una muy buena cobertura por daños a la propiedad y lesiones corporales, pero eso solo protege a otras personas si causan un accidente. No tienen cobertura para protegerse a sí mismos ya sus hijos. La parte de su póliza de seguro que lo protegería a usted, a sus hijos ya su familia es la Cobertura de motorista sin seguro o con seguro insuficiente. La cobertura para personas sin seguro o con seguro insuficiente es opcional en Florida, pero cuando la rechaza, se expone a usted y a su familia a graves consecuencias. Debido a la situación económica en la que nos encontramos ahora, el 70% de los conductores en Florida tienen una cobertura de $0 por lesiones corporales o solo tienen $10,000. Esos $10,000 desaparecen con una sola visita al hospital. Si no tiene cobertura de motorista sin seguro, no tendrá nada que recuperar de nadie y será responsable de todas sus facturas médicas, sin mencionar los salarios perdidos, el dolor y el sufrimiento, las facturas médicas futuras y la pérdida de su automóvil. Apuesto a que si le preguntas a 10 de tus amigos y familiares si tienen un conductor sin seguro en su póliza, al menos 9 de ellos se darán cuenta de que no, y uno de ellos puede ser tú. Y de esos 10 amigos, apostaría a que al menos 5 ni siquiera tienen lesiones corporales. Las cosas no estaban bien antes en nuestro estado, sin embargo, en este momento son las peores que hemos visto en los últimos 18 años cuando se trata de personas que tienen seguro de automóvil. Las personas conducen sin ningún tipo de seguro, y todos los días tenemos que decirles a las familias que no habrá dinero para pagar sus facturas médicas o para recibir los tratamientos que necesitan. &BrooksLaw-Tampa&Ruskin

PROTECT YOURSELVES AND YOUR FAMILY BY BUYING UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE!

What is Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage?

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist is that portion of your car insurance policy that if you buy it, will protect you and your family when the person who hits you has no coverage or has very little to cover your medical bills.

What happens if I get hit by another car that does not have Uninsured Motorist Coverage and I have no Uninsured Motorist Coverage in my policy?

Florida is one of the very few states that does not require drivers to carry coverage on their car insurance policy for any injuries that they may cause. The only coverage required by law in Florida for drivers to carry is property damage insurance. So, if someone hits your car, their insurance will fix your car. However, if that same driver injures you, there will be no money in that driver’s insurance to pay your medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering!

What is the STACKED option for Uninsured Motorist Coverage?

If you have two or more vehicles that you own, select the STACKED option because that doubles the amount of money you will have available to recover from.
