30+ years of experienced representing clients in car accident cases

Car Accidents and motorvehicle crashes are responsible for over 3 million injuries a year and more than 2,000 deaths per year in Florida. 

Why Alan Sackrin?

Car accident cases can be complex requiring someone with experience to maximize the compensation paid to the victim. Alan Sackrin is an expert in proving what a case is worth. Alan is a Board Certified trial expert who for 30+ years has litigated car accident cases where the insurance company refuses to pay a fair settlement to the victim.

What sets Alan apart from other car accident lawyers are his extensive trial skills and experience with juries and his understanding of accident reconstruction analysis, crash analysis, road condition analysis, speed analysis, analysis of driver reaction times and perception and other elements that are essential to prove driver negligence. Additionally, Alan adds value to his clients because he will go to trial when the insurance company denies coverage or doesn’t make a settlement offer that he believes is fair.  Alan won’t send his client to a different lawyer to file a lawsuit, he’s a lawyer that other lawyers send their cases to when they are unable to obtain a reasonable settlement offer.

Proving Fault In Car Accident Claims

Determining fault is one of the most important aspects in a personal injury claim. In order to receive any compensation, you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused the car accident, resulting in severe injuries to you.

This can be done through physical evidence, witness testimony, and/or hiring experts.

In Florida, drivers have a legal duty of care to other motorists on the road. For example, if the motorist was texting while driving and caused an accident, he or she breached this duty and therefore was at fault.

Another important aspect in proving fault in an injury claim is being able to show you incurred damages. For more on damages, see section “What kind of Damages Can a Car Accident Victim Recover?”

However, a victim of a car accident must be prepared for an insurance adjuster to try to bring up “Comparative Fault.” This is when the victim contributed (at least partially) to his or her own injuries and/or the accident itself.

When making an injury claim with an insurance company, there are two most common damages you can receive compensation for. These are Economic and Non-economic damages.
Economic damages are those that can be calculated through bills and invoices such as:

  • Lost wages
  • Hospital bills
  • Doctor bills
  • EMS bills
  • Physical therapy bills

Non-economic damages are not as easily calculated, as they are not a monetary value to begin with. A monetary value for these damages are typically calculated by a jury through evaluation of aspects such as time, severity of injuries, amount of medical treatment needed, etc. Some Non-economic damages include:
