People come to Orlando, Florida for work and play. Many of them are seasonal or short-term visitors and are often struggling to navigate unfamiliar roads in an unfamiliar car. These drivers can both drive slow and move erratically on the roads. These drivers share the road with natives who are often impatient to get to work or home, and with truck drivers who have a schedule to keep. The combination can lead to many potentially serious car accidents.
Transitory visitors can often lead to difficult insurance situations as well. If the other driver is in a rental car and does not have specific coverage, their insurance company may attempt to deny coverage.
On top of this, Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured motorists in the country, with an estimated one fourth of drivers on the road without insurance. This sobering statistic should be enough to convince you to carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, although sometimes collecting on that coverage may require a lawyer.
If you have been involved in an accident in Orlando, Florida, you may need a lawyer to ensure that your bills get paid. Contact the car accident lawyers at Best & Anderson, P.A. today.
