Attorney Fees And Contingency Fees

Typically most attorneys in the state of Florida will charge on a contingent fee basis. And what that means – it allows us, or allows any attorney, to represent you as a consumer on a contingent fee basis meaning there’s no upfront fees and no upfront costs that have to be paid by you as a consumer. We are able to represent you and we don’t get paid until the end of the case and only if there’s a successful recovery on your behalf do we get a percentage of that recovery in attorney fees and do we recoup the cost that we have advanced on your behalf during our handling of the case.

Children's Medical Malpractice Cases | Orlando

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.

Experts Investigating A Motorcycle Accident | Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury

Todd Romano

 

Experts Investigating A Motorcycle Accident

It is critical to have qualified experts to establish both liability and damages in a motorcycle accident case. We’ve had cases where there have been four or five witnesses that have observed a motorcycle accident, and invariably two years, three years later when you’re taking their depositions, they have completely inconsistent versions of what happened even though they all witnessed the same exact crash. So it’s important to have qualified, reputable experts that can talk to a jury about liability issues and can reconstruct the accident. Also, in motorcycle accident cases, you’re typically dealing with death or at least with catastrophic injuries. When you represent a motorcycle accident victim who has had catastrophic injuries, it’s important to have qualified medical experts that cannot only talk about current injuries but also assess future needs and future medical care required to treat what are oftentimes catastrophic injuries.

Suspected Medical Malpractice | Orlando Personal Injury

Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Claim in Orlando?

If you suspect that medical malpractice has occurred, it’s usually important right away to document things. A lot of times I tell folks to take notes, take pictures, document things early. Because when you’re stressed out and things are happening fast, a lot of times you don’t remember that later. Then, once you do all that, I think it’s important to talk to an attorney. Because a lot of times, you don’t know if malpractice has occurred. What we do then, is gather all the records. We’re able to spot issues on some of these cases easier than lay people are. We also have experts in every type of medical malpractice that has occurred. so we can get those records to our experts. Go over the whole chart and then sit down with you and the rest of the family and consult about whether or not there is a case. If you think you may have a case or just want to discuss your options, call me. Nathan Carter at Colling, Gilbert, Wright & Carter 1-800-49-LEGAL.

Bicycle Rights And Responsibilities

Everyone riding a bicycle has the responsibility to abide by the laws in the state of Florida. Sometimes people on bicycles think that they have a special right and that people driving cars have the duty to some way drive in a different way simply to avoid the bicyclist. Although it is true that every driver needs to be on the lookout for the bicyclist, bicycles still have to be in the correct lane, be operating the bicycle in an appropriate and a safe manner, have your bicycle helmet on at all times, and abide by all laws. Because you are on a bicycle you do not get a pass when it comes to abiding by the law.

Misuse Of A Product | Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury

Misuse Of A Product

Misuse of a product is always going to be a defense by the defendants and by their insurance company in a product liability or a product defect case. That does not necessarily mean that you cannot recover for injuries that result from a defective product. But what you want to do is make sure that you contact a reputable law firm that handles product liability cases and that has a good track record of getting good results in a product defect case– to assess that case. But understanding that even misuse, while it will always be a defense in the case, it doesn’t excuse negligence or strict liability on the part of the manufacturer or designer or even the seller of that defective product that injured you.
