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.

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.

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.

Has My Child Sustained a Brain Injury?

If you have questions about whether your child has a brain injury, here’s some things to look for. There are certain milestones that children go through: babies, toddlers, and if they’re not reaching the milestones at the right time frame, that should raise a question in your mind whether or not there’s something going on that’s not exactly right in their brain. Look for things like are they crawling, are they handling their toys with their fingers, grasping appropriately, is there good strength in their hands, are they lifting their hands over their head, are they able to feed themselves, hold their bottle, walking and cruising along the sofa at the right age? Those are things that you need to look for, the milestones to determine whether or not there might be a brain injury. If you have more questions about how your child is doing, give me a call. I’d be glad to discuss the details with you. My name’s Ron Gilbert with Calling Gilbert Right and Carter, 1800-49 legal.

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.

Paying Back Your Health Insurance Company

If you’ve been hurt in an accident and you have health insurance, your health insurance likely has paid some or all of your medical bills related to your injuries. In that event, you likely are going to be required to pay back or reimburse your health insurance company for whatever money your insurance company has paid out on your behalf. The reason for that is, here in the state of Florida, a health insurance company who has paid benefits for you typically has a statutory lien against any money that you recover in your case. So if you, through the assistance of your attorney, recover money for your accident case, then you may have to take some of that money and pay it back to your health insurance company.
