Types of Car Accidents in Crystal River, FL

There have been nearly 1,775 auto accident injuries in Citrus County in 2019, almost 20 of them resulting in a fatality. Some of those accidents, of course, happened right here in Crystal River. There are still a lot of factors that can cause automobile accidents, such as:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Fatigued driving
  • Distracted driving (e.g., texting, eating, etc)
  • Reckless driving (e.g., speeding, driving too closely behind another vehicle, taking corners too quickly)
  • Aggressive driving (i.e., road rage)
  • Heavy rains and winds
  • Hazardous road conditions

If you’ve been involved in an accident due to any of these conditions, we can often help!

Who’s At Fault?

Put Our Crystal River Auto Accident Injury Lawyers On the Case!

Florida is a no-fault state, which means every driver must carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage on their car insurance policy. This helps cover medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. No-fault was intended to reduce auto insurance premiums by reducing the number of automobile accident cases in the courts, but it has many detractors, and it often seems on the verge of repeal.

In the meantime, regardless of fault, your first step is to speak with your PIP insurance provider. But what happens when your no-fault insurance policy limit (typically $10,000) is not enough to cover your injuries? At that time, you can file a third-party claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. If you’ve been severely or permanently injured, you also can file a personal injury case against the negligent driver. That’s where we come in.

When you choose Lowman Law Firm for your Crystal River personal injury attorney or wrongful death attorney, we will:

  • Meet with you at no cost to discuss your options and to understand how your injury occurred.
  • File all necessary paperwork to help you get the compensation you deserve.
  • Keep in contact with you during your case, providing your attorney’s cell phone number so you can reach out directly anytime.
  • Obtain all documentation available to support your injury case including medical bills and physician testimony.
  • Collect any available evidence related to your accident, including any proof that the other party is at fault when possible.
  • Defend your rights throughout the legal process, and we do not collect a fee unless you win!
