We Fight So You Can Recover

Auto accidents don’t just damage your car, they damage your wallet too. Along with car repairs, you can be looking at higher insurance rates and pricey medical bills too. With Florida’s insurance laws, an auto accident and healthcare can be a lot to pay for on your own. You might have to take off work, tend to long-term injuries, and mentally process the trauma of the accident. The last thing you should have to do is fight your insurance company. That’s why Papa Injury Law is here to do that for you, so you can focus on your recovery.

What You Can Do After Your Brandon Auto Accident

After your car accident, all you may see are dollar signs. The cost to attend to your injuries, the cost to fix your vehicle, but don’t stress yourself out. To protect yourself from high medical bills and raised insurance rates, we have the next steps you can take.

If you or someone else on the scene has been injured, then your first step is to get medical attention. Even if it’s a small injury, you’ll want to document the treatment so you can be compensated for it later.

If the accident was severe, if you don’t know who caused it, or if anyone was injured you will need to call the police. When they arrive on the scene, be sure to also ask for their names, badge numbers, and the case number on the report for later.

Your car insurance company will be covering your injuries and car damages, so you’ll want to report the accident as soon as you can.

If your car isn’t driveable, you’ll need to call a tow truck to take it to an auto repair shop. Be sure to record the driver’s information and keep track of the towing cost as well.

You’ll want to document the interior and exterior of both cars, road conditions, the location, weather, and any injuries if you’re able to. These photos and videos will later be used as evidence when negotiating your insurance claim.

Before you even call your insurance company, you’ll want to call a lawyer. They can instruct you on your next steps and what you should and shouldn’t say to your insurance company, the police, and the other driver.

While they are many things you need to do after your auto accident, there are many things you shouldn’t do too. Check out our Car Accident Tips to learn more about what you should and shouldn’t do, after an accident.

Insurance Company Tactics

While you might think that your insurance company is looking out for you, they are looking out for themselves first. Their job is to settle your case quickly while saving themselves the most money. However, David A. Papa is watching out for you, and he can get you the insurance settlement you need after your car accident.

Fighting Insurance Claims

Another common tactic for insurance companies to use against you is to reject your insurance claim even if it is justified. If your car insurance company does this after your New Tampa auto accident, they can be held liable for investigating your claim in bad faith. Then we can file a complaint against them, and they will have to pay you punitive damages.

Rejecting Low Offers

One tactic insurance companies love to use is to offer a very low offer quickly after your auto accident. They do this because you are in a vulnerable position, and they can use that to their advantage to settle your claim quickly and cheaply. David A. Papa knows that this amount won’t be enough to pay for your expenses now or in the future, and will negotiate for a higher payout.

Proving You’re Not At Fault

We’ve all heard that insurance rates go up after a car accident, but in Florida, we have laws against that. However, if you are at fault, your insurance company can still increase your rates. David A. Papa can protect you against higher rates by proving the other driver is at fault and that you deserve a proper amount from your insurance claim.

How We Can Maximize Your Settlement

With your insurance company working against you, you may be worried about your settlement, but David A. Papa will make sure you get what you need. Here are some ways he will maximize your settlement.

The at-fault driver had a responsibility to prevent accidents and possible injuries.

To receive your settlement, you first need to prove that the amount you’re asking for is justified. Your insurance company will require you to provide a burden of proof to legitimize your claim. That will include:

  • Duty of Care: The at-fault driver had a responsibility to prevent accidents and possible injuries.
  • Duty Violation: The at-fault driver didn’t fulfill their duty of care, resulting in injuries and damages.
  • Cause and Effect: Their negligence directly caused your injury and damages.
  • You Suffered Damages: Because of the accident, you have lost wages, medical expenses, damage to your car, etc.


At Papa Injury Law, we are very familiar with these standards and know what evidence your insurance company is looking for when supporting your claim. By hiring David A. Papa, you can not only take the burden of proof off of you, but you can also maximize your settlement.

After your car accident, you may be feeling overwhelmed which can lead you to make mistakes. This can include saying the wrong thing to the police, the other driver, or your insurance company, and later those statements can be used against you. David A. Papa is here to guide you after your accident, and he can prevent any mistakes from happening.
