What to do after a car accident in Aventura
- Call 911 and get medical care. Under Florida’s no-fault law, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits generally pay only if you receive initial medical treatment within 14 days of the crash. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm how this applies to you.
- Ask for the police report number from the responding agency, such as the Aventura Police Department or the Florida Highway Patrol.
- Photograph the vehicles, plates, the scene, traffic signals, and your injuries.
- Get the other driver’s insurance information and the names of witnesses.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
