Ernesto Gonzalez, P.A.

Our Orlando law firm focuses almost exclusively on representing clients who have suffered injuries as a result of a car accident. Helping those who have been injured as a result of an auto accident is not just what we do for living, it is our passion. Unfortunately, automobile accidents are common, and often result in injuries. Car accident injuries vary in severity from relatively minor to catastrophic—such as car accident brain injury and spinal cord injury—to even death. We represent all victims of auto negligence with commitment and passion regardless of the severity of the personal injuries. Anyone who suffers injuries as a result of somebody else’s negligence deserves just compensation.

It’s important to know that when you have been involved in an auto accident in Florida, you are entitled to certain benefits from your own insurance, or the insurance of the vehicle that you were occupying at the time of the accident. Your insurance’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) will pay 80% of your medical bills and 60% of your lost wages up to $2,500.00 or $10,000.00 depending on the severity of your accident injuries. However, due to changes to the PIP statute in 2013, you must seek medical attention within fourteen days from the day of the accident or you will lose your PIP benefits. Therefore, if you have been in a car accident and have pain or discomfort of any kind, you should seek medical attention right away! And you should mention to the doctor that you have been in an automobile accident.

In addition to your PIP benefits, you are entitled to monetary compensation from the insurance of the person who caused the accident. An experienced car accident injury lawyer will fight with the negligent driver’s insurance company to obtain money for you, to compensate you for pain and suffering.
