Highway Accidents
An experienced Orlando who holds negligent drivers accountable
Thousands of cars use the highways in the Orlando area every day, traveling at high speeds. It takes only one negligent driver to cause a car accident that leaves people seriously injured. If you were hurt in a highway crash, you need an experienced car accident lawyer who can help you recover the financial compensation you deserve.
Attorney Michael Cerasa of The Cerasa Law Firm LLC used to work for big law firms, where he learned how to build strong cases that insurance companies have to take seriously. As founder of his own firm, he is much more accessible to clients and can personally guide them through the legal process every step of the way.
Fighting for the injured in Central Florida
An accident on any highway can significantly impact your life, whether it happened on I-4, the East-West Expressway, Florida’s Turnpike or the Beachline Expressway. You need medical treatment for your injuries and the cost can be overwhelming. You may be experiencing financial stress if you can’t work and there is less money coming in.
Insurance companies are supposed to help when you’ve been injured. But the truth is, they want to make money and are always thinking about the bottom line. So to keep their profits as high as possible, they try to keep payments as low as possible.
There are different methods they use to justify paying less. They may question the seriousness of your injuries or argue that they were pre-existing. They may argue that you were partially responsible for causing the accident.
Another common tactic is to offer you a settlement soon after the crash. They may tell you it’s the best that they can do and will promise quick payment. Their offer may seem tempting as your bills start adding up. The problem is that their offer will fall far short of covering the total damages you have suffered.
Insurance companies have lawyers looking out for their best interests. You need an attorney who is focused on what’s best for you. Attorney Cerasa knows how to deal with insurance companies and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
