Can I win a car accident claim if the other driver was cited for the accident?

Just because the other driver was cited or ticketed after the car accident does not automatically mean that they were legally at fault for the accident. The driver may decide to contest the ticket and successfully get it dismissed or be found not guilty. Even if the driver pays the ticket or is found guilty of the infraction, it can serve as persuasive evidence that the driver was at fault for the accident. However, other evidence may also point to you or other parties sharing fault for having caused the accident.

Do I still have a legal claim if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Florida law allows you to pursue a claim for compensation for injuries and losses you suffered from a car accident even where you are found to have been partly or mostly at fault for the accident. While you can recover compensation from other at-fault parties, any award of compensation can be reduced to reflect your share of fault for the accident. As an example, if you incurred $150,000 in losses and expenses from a car accident that you were 50 percent at fault for, you can recover $75,000 from other at-fault parties, with you being responsible for the other half of your losses in proportion to your share of responsibility for the accident.

Will I need to go to court to win compensation in a car accident claim?

No attorney can predict at the start of a car accident claim whether the claim will end up going to court or trial. Although most car accident claims end up being settled, some are resolved through litigation in court. Some of the factors that may determine whether you will need to go to court to win your car accident claim include the severity of your injuries and any resulting disabilities or permanent disfigurement, the amount of your expenses and losses that you are claiming compensation for, the available insurance coverage, and whether liability or respective shares of fault for the accident are at issue.

About Poinciana, FL

Poinciana is a census-designated place located in Osceola and Polk Counties. It is situated just southwest of Kissimmee. The community comprises nine planned unit development villages that make up the Association of Poinciana Villages, originally conceived during initial planning in the 1960s as a retirement community although today about half of households have children. While only consisting of a few thousand residents into the 1990s, Poinciana has been one of the fastest growing areas in Central Florida over the last decade or so, fueled in part by the construction of the Poinciana Parkway that connects to Interstate 4 and the Poinciana Station, the southern terminus of the SunRail commuter rail system that serves the greater Orlando area.
