At Papa Injury Law, we’re here to provide you with the legal defense you deserve so you can get the most out of your insurance settlement and move forward after your car accident.

An auto accident doesn’t end after the crash; it’s only the beginning. From recovery to bills to dealing with insurance companies, it can be a lot for one person to handle. But we are here to help you through it all. An auto accident could be traumatic, but it doesn’t have to be life-changing. Papa Injury Law is dedicated to helping you when you need it most. Together we can create the best outcome from one of the worst situations.

    What’s Next for You

    After you’ve been in a car accident, you need to know which steps to take next. If you follow these actions, that will make your legal defense that much better.

    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.

    After you take these actions, we will take you the rest of the way. To provide you with the best defense, we will even go as far as taking your case to court to get you the justice you deserve. We’re so confident in our legal defense that we won’t charge you until after you win. Check out our Car Accident Tips to learn about what you should do, and shouldn’t do, after an auto accident.

    How Your Insurance Company Works Against You

    When seeking compensation after your car accident, you not only have the $10,000 limit of PIP working against you, but you also have your insurance company working against you. As a for-profit business, their job is to settle your case as quickly and as cheaply as possible. These are some of the tactics insurance companies will use against you and the tactics Pebble Creek auto accident lawyer David A. Papa can protect you from.

    Fighting Against Denied 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.

    Protection Against Unjust Costs and Inflated Rates

    Even if you aren’t injured in your car accident, it’s still important to know your options. Since each person in the accident is responsible for using their insurance to pay for damages, it can cause your insurance rate to skyrocket. Hiring a lawyer after your auto accident can protect you from unjust costs and inflated rates. Here’s how Pebble Creek auto accident lawyer David A. Papa can help you get the most out of your insurance settlement.

    While you may be worried about the expenses you have to pay now, David A. Papa is thinking about the expenses you’ll have to pay in the future. When negotiating your insurance settlement, David A. Papa will be sure to include future costs like physical therapy, chiropractic care, mobility aids, therapy sessions, and more so you are covered now and later.

    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, call a lawyer first. While you may want to talk to your insurance company, police, or the other driver, it is often a bad idea and your lawyer will tell you that. Even a simple, “I’m fine” can be used against you when applying for an insurance claim later. David A. Papa will also advise you to not make any recorded statements to the police or your insurance company without him present.
