Florida Personal Injury Laws

Partial Fault In An Auto Accident

Any individual who is in an accident in Florida and who is driving can be found to be wholly or partially responsible for that accident. A jury is always going to be asked to assess the relative fault of each of the parties involved in the litigation. And if, for example, you have one vehicle – the other vehicle where someone ran a stop sign – but perhaps in your vehicle you were not wearing a seat belt, a jury can assess your responsibility for your injuries because you were not wearing a seat belt.

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.

Children’s Medical Malpractice Cases in Orlando

Unfortunately we’ve handled a lot of cases, medical malpractice cases that involved children or infants. And for me, those were the hardest kind of cases to handle because I have three young children at home. So I found that I’ve gotten more personally invested in those cases and gotten to know the families. I think those kind of cases are probably the hardest kind of medical malpractice cases for the families, because when a child or an infant gets hurt, it affects the whole family, you feel helpless. So I think those are the kind of cases that I’ve really personally identified with the most and fought the hardest on. If you have any kind of question about a malpractice case involving a child or an infant, feel free to call me. Nathan Carter at Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter, 1-80049-legal.

Insurance Claims

Typically, you want an attorney to help protect your rights and help walk you through the handling of your claim. A lot of times, at the beginning, insurance companies, insurance adjusters, will act as if they’re trying to be friendly and trying to be helpful. But, we all know that insurance companies, in certain situations, have a tendency to try and take advantage of victims in the claims handling process. It’s important to have an attorney that knows how to deal with insurance adjusters, that knows how to deal with insurance companies in the claims process and have an attorney that can adequately and properly protect your rights.

What Is A Deposition

In any case in litigation, the parties are permitted to take depositions of witnesses, including depositions of the parties in the case. A deposition is basically an interview or a sworn statement, where the attorney for one side sits down at a conference room table and questions the witness or the other party under oath to obtain information and answers about the case.

About David Best

Hi. I’m David Best. I’m one of the founding partners of Best & Anderson. I grew up in Central Florida, in Orlando, from the first grade through the 12, and then I went to Florida State where I majored in math. Then, I moved to Washington to work for the National Security Agency, and went to law school at night and graduated from American University. I came straight down and took the bar, passed it the first time.

Experience

Since then I’ve tried literally hundreds of cases in state court, federal court, all over Florida and in other states, and have even appeared and prevailed in the United States Supreme Court, which very few people have done. I hate to brag, but I’ve been rated the highest rating that the group that rates lawyers can give for 20 years.

Best & Anderson

And our firm then, Best & Anderson, has a preeminent rating by that same company. We can’t affect our ratings. Other lawyers and judges rate us just the way they think we are, and we don’t even have access to how our friends and colleagues rated us. But we are rated the highest we can be, and I’m proud of that.

You hope you don’t have to go to trial, but you want a lawyer that can do it if the case didn’t settle. I think that we have a good law firm. We can try a case, but we settle them because the insurance companies respect us. Thank you for listening to me.

Witnesses To A 18 Wheeler Accident

In any big rig tractor trailer truck accident case, witnesses are helpful and witnesses are usually necessary. We’re referring here to eye witnesses who actually saw something just before, or during, or after the wreck, and we’re talking about experts who come on the scene including law enforcement officers and paramedics. But in addition, key witnesses will be the people involved in the two vehicles, and it’s important to obtain the statements of those people – the drivers, the passengers – as quickly as possible. Witnesses play a key role in each and every case.
