Call The Police After An Accident

You always want to make sure that you call the police, regardless of severe or how minor an accident is in the state of Florida, because it’s important that the accident is documented. That can include documenting or identifying witnesses who are at the scene who may have observed exactly what happened, because that will become crucial down the road if there is a legal claim.

So you always want to make sure that you call the police, so that the accident gets documented regardless of how minor the accident may be.

Time Limit To File A Wrongful Death Claim

In Florida, the time limit, or statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death case, is usually two years from the date of the death.

Legally Responsible For A Defective Product

Typically in the state of Florida, every company or individual responsible for getting a product into the hands of you as consumers is responsible for selling, or manufacturing, or designing, or marketing a defective product. It’s incumbent upon you, and it’s important, to find an attorney with a good reputation of handling product defect cases to assess everyone who is responsible for getting that product designed, manufactured, and ultimately sold to you as consumers, to assess liability on the part of each and everyone of those potential defendants.

Who is Entitled to Recover Money in Orlando Wrongful Death Litigation

A lot of times people will ask us in a wrongful death situation whose entitled to recover money if we bring the lawsuit. A lot of times that depends on the type of case, it depends on if the person left a will, and it depends on some other probate factors. We can sit down with you and the family and go over all of that and discuss your options with you. A lot of times there are what are called statutory survivors that the law sets forth. For example, if a person passes away and leaves a surviving spouse, a lot of times the surviving spouse is entitled to recover. If the person that passed away does not a have a surviving spouse, sometimes their children or even their grandchildren are allowed to recover. If you have questions about those sorts of issues, call me, Nathan Carter at Colling, Gilbert, Wright, and Carter, 1-800-49-LEGAL.

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.
