Episode 1302: The Insurance Coverage Most Drivers Overlook: Why “Full Coverage” May Not Protect You with Brent Couture

An accident can disrupt far more than a vehicle, and the decisions made in the first days can shape medical care, financial recovery, and a family’s future. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Brent Couture, an attorney at Couture Law P.A., who explains why listening is central to effective representation, the mistakes people make when managing a claim on their own, and the questions attorneys must ask to assess liability, causation, and damages. Brent also discusses why underinsured motorist coverage matters in Florida, what clients should expect from their attorney-client relationship, and how recent tort reform has shortened the time available to pursue certain claims. Key Takeaways:→ Even a seemingly minor crash can create a ripple effect across medical care, work, family responsibilities, and finances. → Every personal injury case requires careful scrutiny of liability, causation, and damages.→ Clients should be open about symptoms and prior medical conditions so that an attorney can understand the full impact of the collision. → The term “full-coverage” can be misleading because state-minimum insurance limits may not adequately protect someone following a serious crash. → Effective representation requires understanding how an injury affects a client’s routines, caregiving responsibilities, work, travel, and quality of life.  Brent A.
