“Accident Case”
Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice and Purtz, PA was the only law firm who would take our car accident case. Andrea Pleimling Smith was very thorough, explained everything in a very detailed fashion, and was easy to reach when questions arose. She kept us informed every step of the way. Without her, we would have suffered a severe financial loss due to an accident which was not our fault. Florida’s No Fault law is terrible and very unfair. Andrea and her team were very helpful in recouping all of the money we were required to spend!

Question:
What are common mistakes people make if they have been injured in a property damage claim?
Answer:
Some people think that because they’re in an accident that the insurance company must take care of their vehicle right away when in fact it’s the claimant’s responsibility to move forward and prove their claim. If a car is drivable, many people don’t necessarily get an estimate on it right away or get it to a body shop or to an appraiser to get estimates when in fact, it’s the insurer’s or your duty as a claimant to mitigate or minimize your damages. You need to move quickly and get your car appraised, get it started towards repairs. If you’re in a rental car, then you need to get repairs authorized as soon as you possibly can because you need to minimize the time that you’re in the rental car because the insurance company only has to pay for reasonable time. Now, we can argue what’s reasonable and what’s not but our advice normally is to tell people get started right away on your repairs so that you can get your car back or get a replacement vehicle if it’s a total loss in a timely fashion so you’re not without a car and you’re not fighting over a rental and things of that nature. Those are the things that we look for to helping people with here at Goldstein Buckley Cechman, Rice & Purtz.
