After calling 911, injured accident victims should document the impact. For example, take pictures of damage to your vehicle. This is critical to successfully proving your case later and the cause of your injuries. So is documenting the license plate of the other vehicle(s) to protect yourself if the driver tries to flea the accident scene to avoid responsibility.
Crash victims should be observant for anything out of the ordinary.

Claims for Personal Injury Protection benefits, commonly known as PIP, and Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists coverage, known as UM, are often at the center of disputes in litigation. Understanding Florida law is critical to ensure that an injured accident victim maximizes their recovery.
PIP coverage is required under Florida law for drivers operating a motor vehicle and provides accident victims with $10,000 of no fault benefits for medical care.
On the other hand, UM coverage applies to all Florida auto insurance policies with bodily injury coverage unless rejected in writing. In Florida, insurers offer both stacking and non-stacking policies which affect the coverage available. Understanding your specific policy terms is critical for securing maximum coverage if you are injured in a car accident. We always advise our clients with more than one vehicle to select stacking coverage because of the increased benefits and the high number of un/underinsured driver in Florida. According to the Insurance Research Institute, that number is as high as 26.7% of Floridian drivers.
