Florida Personal Injury Laws

Complicated Pedestrian Accident Cases

Pedestrian accident cases in Florida are typically complicated cases. Often times you don’t have surveillance of the incident itself. If there’s no witnesses, it can often times be your word against the word of the other driver. Obviously drivers in a vehicle who may have caused or been at fault for a pedestrian accident case– they’re always going to try to blame you or blame the pedestrian. So it’s important that you have a law firm that has handled pedestrian accident cases, that can get the proper experts, that can access the vehicle that was involved, because often times the black box data, or the event data recorder within that vehicle can prove critical evidence to speeds, braking, throttling, maneuvering. You want to make sure that that evidence is obtained before that it goes stale.

Injury Is Apparent After An Accident

If you’ve been in a car accident, whether you feel pain immediately at the scene or not, you should go see a doctor right away. The reason for that is there are many times that you can have any injury that is not immediately apparent to you and sometimes doesn’t develop into pain or discomfort for a few hours or a few days. Rather than wait and give it an opportunity to develop, it’s best to see a doctor immediately. That way, you can document any complaints or symptoms you may have, and that way you get a full checkout to ensure that you don’t have some hidden or unknown injury that could be problematic or of greater concern to you.

Who Can be Sued For Medical Malpractice in Florida?

A lot of clients come to us and ask us what types of doctors and nurses and x-ray techs can be sued for medical malpractice in Florida. The short answer is that all health care providers can be sued if they’re negligent and they hurt someone. There are different statutes that apply to different types of cases so it does get kind of complex, but the short answer is that in Florida, we do have a medical malpractice statute that covers all different health care providers. Some of them work in the hospital. Some of them work outside the hospital in private offices so we need to evaluate your case closely to see what type of health care providers were involved. Sometimes there’s doctors, nurses, and techs involved in the same case. If you have a question about that, call me, Nathan Carter at Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter at 1-800-49-LEGAL.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

Hi, I’m Matt Dolman of the Dolman Law Group. I’m a Clearwater civil trial attorney. A question I’m often faced with is, how much is my case worth? And the context I’m going to answer this question in is for an individual that was just in an auto accident. Keep in mind that the value of a case is based on a number of criteria. How much insurance is available? How big was the impact in terms of the collision itself? Was there a lot of property damage? Do you have prior injuries going into the accident? What are your pre-existing injuries, and was there an aggravation or exacerbation of your prior symptoms? Are you going to need future medical are?

Determining Case Value

Any attorney or legal assistant or paralegal or anyone that tells you how much your case is worth before you commence medical treatment, and seriously, before you have gone through a long period of medical treatment where we can ascertain what your future medical costs will be, is simply blowing smoke. They’re lying to you. The only way you can tell what the value of a case is, is based on the criteria we already spoke of. When you first are in an automobile accident, you’re not going to know what your injuries really are. They could be catastrophic, they could be minor, but until there’s a passage of time, we don’t know if these injuries will alleviate themselves. Will they heal? And what will be the permanent ramifications, if any?

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.

Truck Drivers Cannot Use Phones

Truck drivers cannot use hand-held cellphones, or smartphones, or similar devices when driving and operating big rig tractor trailer trucks at any time. If a truck driver feels the need to make a phone call or to in any way operate a hand-held device, that truck driver has a duty to pull over to a safe place and then make the call or send the text message or do whatever he or she wants to do.

How long will it take us to resolve your Florida Medical Malpractice Claim?

Well, that varies with every case. Some cases resolve early, other cases take years, and it all depends upon how strong your case is. What are the facts that we’re working with? How many defendants are involved in your case? If you like to discuss your case in more detail, give me a call. I’m Ron Gilbert with Colling Gilbert Wright and Carter. 1-800-49-LEGAL.
