Car Accidents

Melbourne, Florida, Car Collision Lawyer

Mark Anthony Gager — Serving Brevard County for 23 Years

Of all forms of personal injury, a car collision is, by far, the most frequent. It makes sense that it should be — after all, millions of Americans strap themselves daily into metal boxes on wheels, zooming down freeways and through intersections with only a vague awareness of the risks inherent in this activity. When auto accidents do occur, the damage can be minor, disabling or fatal.

West Melbourne attorney Mark Anthony Gager has handled over a thousand car collision cases. In every case, injuries are less severe when the car's occupants wear a seat belt. Mr. Gager is well familiar and highly experienced in handling all the various circumstances that can surround these cases, including:

In addition, Mr. Gager brings an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and physiology to determine the merit and value of car collision claims. This is especially significant in the state of Florida because the law here says that a plaintiff can only bring a car crash claim if he or she has sustained a permanent injury as a result of the accident.

I Was in a Car Collision — What Should I Do?

If you were in a car crash, here's a short list of the things you should do right away in order to help make sure you receive just compensation for any injuries you may have suffered:

  1. Call the police right away and get a full and complete police report documenting the accident.

  2. Consult an attorney before signing any insurance papers or making any statements to insurance companies.

  3. Seek immediate medical attention. Even if you don't feel injured, see a doctor — certain injuries can take days to present themselves, and any lapse between the time of the accident and the time of a medical evaluation gives the defense an opportunity to claim your injury was unrelated to the accident.

  4. Do not admit responsibility. Make no statement about the accident to anyone except to the police and to your attorney.
