Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

Automobile accident rights

I was in an auto accident on 8/19/03. The other driver was ticketed and definatly at fault. There is no way the other driver (or his insurance company) can deny he is at fault (they have no grounds to try to fight it). The driver that hit me, has no valid Florida Drivers Liscense (or any liscence for that matter), and the car that he was driving when he hit me is a company vehichle. The day of the accident I felt no injury, but now my back has been bothering me some, and I have an appt. for monday 8/25 w/ a chiropractor to have it checked out. Do I have grounds for a lawsuit? If I do have grounds for a lawsuit, will I still have grounds if my injury is found to be minimal? Thank you in advance for any responses.

Re: Automobile accident rights

You cannot recover for anything except out-of-pocket expenses unless you have sustained a permanent injury. If your doctor reports that your injuries are permanent, you have a claim for pain and suffering, etc. You should discuss your claim with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Most have free initial consultations. You may call me at (877) 993-1700 toll free if you wish.
