Nobody should have to deal with the aftermath of a car accident, yet unsuspecting drivers and vehicle occupants are often injured in car accidents in and around Lutz, Florida.

Whether you need assistance filing an auto insurance claim or filing a car accident lawsuit against the at-fault driver, a dedicated Lutz car accident lawyer at Kemp, Ruge & Green Law Group can discuss your options with you.

Dangerous Roads in Lutz

Residents of Lutz have become used to traffic that travels along I-275. At times, certain areas can become somewhat congested with traffic, including the roads that head to and from Tampa.

The Lutz area has some highly dangerous roads that put drivers at risk of collisions. The most accident-prone areas include:

  • U.S. 401
  • Livingston Ave.
  • County Line Rd.

If someone’s negligence on the road causes you to be injured in a traffic accident, contact a personal injury attorney in the Lutz area as quickly as possible. You can pursue possible compensation for injuries, pain and suffering, loss of wages and more.

Damages in a Lutz Car Accident Case

In a Florida car accident case, most injury victims will start the process of seeking financial compensation by filing an auto insurance claim through their own insurance company. Since Florida is an auto insurance no-fault state, injured vehicle occupants need to file a claim through their own insurer to seek personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. However, PIP coverage only provides up to $10,000 for an injury victim, which is often insufficient to cover losses.

When a person suffers a “serious injury” in a Lutz crash, Florida law may allow that person to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. Once you file a lawsuit against the negligent driver, you may be eligible to receive two types of compensatory damages:

  • Economic damages, which compensate you for direct financial losses like hospital bills and lost wages; and
  • Non-economic damages, which compensate you for subjective losses like pain and suffering.

Depending upon the facts of the case, it may be possible to seek punitive damages. Under Florida law, punitive damages are only awarded when a plaintiff can prove that a defendant engaged in intentional misconduct or was grossly negligent.
