Florida Personal Injury Laws

Need An Attorney

You don’t need an attorney for your personal injury case, because you can always pursue the claim on your own. However, it’s a mistake to do so. An attorney can help you carefully evaluate your case, look at the evidence that’s available, evaluate the potential causes of actions or claims that you may be able to bring, and look carefully at any and all persons or entities who may be responsible for your damages. An attorney generally is going to be able to help you recover more money than what you’d be able to recover on your own, and generally that difference is going to be substantial.

Lawyer Referral Service

Hi, I’m Matt Dolman, of the Dolman Law Group. I’m a Clearwater civil trial attorney. If you were just in an accident you may be wondering whether you should call a lawyer referral service, one that advertises on television or the radio. In fact, if you live in the Tampa Bay area, our market is inundated with these advertisements all day long, and you’re probably wondering how good are they. Well, keep in mind that lawyer referral services are only partly regulated by the Florida Bar. When I say partly, only the lawyers are regulated. The lawyer referral service can often make advertisements, make claims, make statements that don’t pass Bar scrutiny. In fact, they don’t have to submit their advertisements to the Florida Bar.

411 Pain & Ask Gary

If you listen to a recent radio advertisement for 411 PAIN, you’ll note that the non-lawyer attorney spokesperson makes a very curious statement. And the statement they make is we have a very exclusive group of attorneys. We’ve spent many years putting this group together. Well, what does that really mean? Does that mean that these lawyers are superbly talented? I don’t want to make a generalization because there are some good lawyers that belong to these networks, but really if you become a member of 411 PAIN or Ask Gary, you simply have to pay to become a member. It’s a pay for play system. It doesn’t state the quality of the lawyer, how many cases they’ve tried, the types of verdicts they’ve obtained, are they experiencing any personal injury claims like yours. It simply means that they paid to be a member of a lawyer referral service, but keep in mind that being a member of such an exclusive group does not convey quality. It just conveys they paid.

Catastrophic Injury Cases

There are many capable trial attorneys in the state of Florida. But when you’ve been involved in a catastrophic injury accident, you want to make sure you have an attorney that will fight for you and that will go to trial if necessary. Often times in catastrophic injury cases, because the stakes are higher, because the damages are significant, and insurance companies know that, they will vigorously fight those cases on liability in an attempt to have defenses where fault cannot be determined, or where they will blame the injured victim. You want an attorney that is willing to go to trial, that has been to trial, and that has gotten good results in catastrophic injury cases.

How long do you have to file your car accident claim in Florida?

Driver Without Insurance Injures Biker

If you were riding your bike in Florida, and were injured by another car that did not have insurance, can you still recover for your injuries? The answer to that depends on a number of factors, the most important of which is whether or not you have UM, which is uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. It’s important to have UM coverage because it protects you in this exact type of situation, if you are injured as a result of the carelessness of someone else who is uninsured or has insufficient insurance to cover your injuries.

Business Owner Safe Environment Liability

In Florida, a business owner has the legal responsibility to provide a reasonably safe premises or business for his or her employees, and for customers, and anybody else visiting the property. There are many ways to go about doing that, but first and foremost is to obtain from the local law enforcement agency crime reports showing crime in the area. Another way is to hire a security expert to do a security review – or security survey – to help provide guidance, suggestions, and input as to steps that could be taken, and those steps typically involve hiring extra security if necessary, providing adequate lighting, providing surveillance cameras, providing restricted or limited access to people, and taking other similar steps to ensure that the business is safe for those entering or doing business there.

Am I at Risk If I File a Lawsuit in Orlando

A lot of clients that I meet with have the same concern. A lot of them are concerned if there’s a risk to them to bring a lawsuit. The short answer to that is, there’s some risk, but we fight hard to minimize those risks. For instance, we advance all the litigation costs in a typical case. If we’re not able to succeed or win the case, the client does not owe us any money. Another thing clients worry about is, if it costs money to meet with the lawyer to just talk about their case, and it does not. We offer free consultations on any type of case. So, there’s no harm or risk to you to come in, to sit with us, to talk about the case, and discuss your options. We’ll give you honest advise on whether you have a case, and what the chances of success are in that case. So if you have a question like that, feel free to call us.
