I've had many car accident settlements for people who are injured while in Florida. While it can be difficult for the average person (or attorney) to know about available insurance or how much a car accident case may be worth, I look at past cases (both my own and other attorneys) to help determine the value.
Which is why I write about auto accident settlements and insurance from time to time.

If an Uber car hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian may be entitled to compensation.
I’ve written about cases for pedestrians who are hit by cars, and Uber car accidents. However, this article specifically applies to a pedestrian who is hit by an Uber driver.
