Florida Personal Injury Laws

Most Difficult Personal Injury Case in Orlando

One of the most difficult cases that I’ve ever handled as a trial lawyer was for a family member. My nephew was unfortunately killed in a car accident. He was a deputy sheriff and was t-boned in an intersection by an 18 wheeler. It was a very difficult case to handle. I had to deal with my brother-in-law, and my sister-in-law throughout that entire case, and the grieving process. So, I’ve been involved in cases that are very personal to me. I understand where you are with your case, and with the grieving process that you’re going through. If you’d like to discuss that with me, I’m Ron Gilbert with Colling, Gilbert, Wright & Carter; 1800-49-LEGAL.

Assault Litigation

Hi, I’m Julia McGrath, an attorney here at the Dolman Law Group. If you’ve been assaulted outside a bar or restaurant or a night club, people think, “What do I do? What do I need to do?” First things first, you need to contact law enforcement. There has to be a police report evidencing the injuries you sustained.

Steps to Successful Litigation

Next, it’s important to notify the manager of the establishment or anyone else in a position of authority. Not just notify them, but make them take down an incident report. Memorialize what’s happened to you in your story. Then ask for a copy of it, or write down the statement that you gave to that business. It’s also important to document the injuries that you sustained. Take photographs. Most of the time people have a camera on a their cell phone. If you don’t have your cell phone on you, ask to borrow one. If you have a phone that has video capability, absolutely utilize it and take videos of the scene of your injuries, of any witnesses in order to preserve the condition of where you were and what happened to you at the time that it happened. This is imperative evidence moving forward in order to succeed on your claim.

Injured Passenger In A Boating Accident

As a passenger in a boating accident, you’ve been injured and want to know who may be responsible for causing those injuries. The answer is, it depends on how the accident happened. You will look first at whoever was driving or operating the boat or vessel that you were in at the time, but you would also look to see if anybody else may be responsible.  For example, if the boat in which you were a passenger collided with another boat or another vessel of some kind, you would have to look to see whether the person operating the other boat or vessel was negligent in any way, and whether or not that negligence caused or contributed to your accident.

Orlando Auto Accident Caused By Malfunctioning Traffic Light

If your car accident was due to a malfunctioning traffic light in the state of Florida, we look at the municipality responsible for maintaining that light. Once a city or town puts up a traffic light, they have a responsibility to maintain that in a good working order; in a good working fashion. If that traffic light fails and an accident happens, then we’ll look at the municipality as the possible defendant in your case. So, give me a call. I’m Ron Gilbert – Colling, Gilbert, Wright & Carter, 1-800-49-LEGAL.

How To Successfully Litigate Personal Injury Claim

Hi. I’m Julia McGrath an attorney here at the Dolman Law Group. Often times clients ask me, what do I need to be doing as a client, in order to succeed on my personal injury claim? While we, as the attorney, are investigating the claim and doing the legal research, it’s important that you as a client to fill some of your obligations as well.

Keeping Medical Records

One of those things is keeping fresh with your medical records, and what I mean by that is seeking medical treatment and going to your doctor’s appointment. These appointments and medical records become imperative, in order for us to demonstrate to the insurance company the extent of your injuries and what you should be compensated for. It’s important when you’re meeting with your treating physician to document the extent of your injuries by listing everything that hurts and everything that’s wrong with you. Be thorough in your complaints, so that your doctor can take down all this information and embody it into your medical record for us to use later down the road.

Determining If You Have A Case

Determining whether or not you have a case in Florida in any instance where there’s been a brain injury is a process of having your attorney evaluate and assess liability or fault. The next issue is an assessment of causation – meaning that the wrongdoing of the defendant, was it a cause of the brain injury – and then determining what the losses or damages are. This is something your attorney must do through the evaluation of such things as medical records, and speaking and conferring with experts who assess all of the documents and evidence in the case. Then, your lawyer will know whether or not you have a valid or viable brain injury case to file.
