Many people rent cars in Casselberry and around Seminole County, Florida for many reasons. Whether you’re a tourist in the area, your car is in the shop, or you have family visiting, car rental can be convenient to help everyone get around. However, getting into an accident in a rental car can be a stressful experience, and you may not know how to proceed or how liability works. If you are involved in a rental car crash, you should discuss the matter with an experienced Florida rental car accident lawyer at Quattrochi, Torres, and Taormina as soon as possible.
Rental car accidents are similar to any other type of car accident when it comes to liability. If another driver was negligent and crashed into your rental car, that driver’s insurance should be liable for any damage to the vehicle and injuries that resulted. If you caused the crash or if the accident was unavoidable, the liability will likely rest with you, and you will need to file a claim with your own insurance to cover the costs of the accident. If you don’t own a car and you purchased insurance from the rental agency, that policy should cover the damage, and you will likely have to pay the deductible out of pocket.
If you suffered injuries in a rental car accident, your PIP insurance should cover your losses up to your policy limits. If your losses exceed that amount, you will need to identify fault and liability to determine where to file your insurance claim for the remainder of your losses.
While rental car accident claims can be complicated, they don’t have to be stressful when you have the assistance of a skilled Florida car accident attorney. Call Quattrochi, Torres, and Taormina at 407.452.4918 or contact us online to discuss your situation for free.
