Florida Personal Injury Laws

Victim Of A Hit And Run

Two things you want to do if you believe you were the victim of a hit and run in Florida. One, you always want to make sure in Florida that you carry uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under your own policy. Oftentimes, because of a phantom vehicle or a hit-and-run vehicle, you can look to your own insurance coverage to recover for your damages or loss if the at-fault hit-and-run driver is unable to be identified. Two, it’s imperative that you contact the police so that the hit-and-run crash is documented. That way, possibility, the police can identify the vehicle through witnesses, and at least it’s documented that there has been a crash that caused either injuries to yourself or property damage to your vehicle.

Motorcycle Bias

Typically what we found in Florida, through the years of handling motorcycle accident cases, is that jurors have somewhat of a bias against motorcycle operators just like many of us have a bias against truck drivers. Oftentimes the mere fact that a motorcycle operator is operating a motorcycle as opposed to a motor vehicle, sometimes jurors will hold that against that person just by the mere fact that they’re operating a motorcycle. Thinking that they must be reckless, because who would operate a motorcycle on the roads in Florida?

And oftentimes it’s difficult for us, even where the motorcycle client of ours is not at fault in any manner whatsoever, we still have to overcome that bias that many potential jurors out there have. So you must keep that in mind when pursuing a motorcycle accident case.

Lawyer Referral Service

Hi, I’m Matt Dolman, of the Dolman Law Group. I’m a Clearwater civil trial attorney. If you were just in an accident you may be wondering whether you should call a lawyer referral service, one that advertises on television or the radio. In fact, if you live in the Tampa Bay area, our market is inundated with these advertisements all day long, and you’re probably wondering how good are they. Well, keep in mind that lawyer referral services are only partly regulated by the Florida Bar. When I say partly, only the lawyers are regulated. The lawyer referral service can often make advertisements, make claims, make statements that don’t pass Bar scrutiny. In fact, they don’t have to submit their advertisements to the Florida Bar.

411 Pain & Ask Gary

If you listen to a recent radio advertisement for 411 PAIN, you’ll note that the non-lawyer attorney spokesperson makes a very curious statement. And the statement they make is we have a very exclusive group of attorneys. We’ve spent many years putting this group together. Well, what does that really mean? Does that mean that these lawyers are superbly talented? I don’t want to make a generalization because there are some good lawyers that belong to these networks, but really if you become a member of 411 PAIN or Ask Gary, you simply have to pay to become a member. It’s a pay for play system. It doesn’t state the quality of the lawyer, how many cases they’ve tried, the types of verdicts they’ve obtained, are they experiencing any personal injury claims like yours. It simply means that they paid to be a member of a lawyer referral service, but keep in mind that being a member of such an exclusive group does not convey quality. It just conveys they paid.

What is the value of my car accident claim?

Well, that really depends on things like: How bad is your injury? Did you need surgery? What are your medical bills? Did you lose time from work? How long were you out of work? What are your wages? What is the amount of money that you’ve lost as a result of the accident? So, all those factors work together to value your car accident case. If you’d like to discuss the value of your case, give me a call. I’m Ron Gilbert, with Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter, 180049 legal.

Factors To Valuing A Personal Injury

Determining what your personal injury case is worth is probably the most difficult task that any attorney has in the course of your case because there’s no easy answer, and the answer to the question often varies greatly from the beginning of the case to the end. It sometimes changes from time to time with additional information that’s obtained through the discovery process. The value of your case depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the accident, the nature and severity of your injuries or damages, and any available insurance coverage that applies to the case. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should maintain regular contact with your attorney who can answer candidly his or her assessment regarding the value of the case, which helps you decide at every step of the way whether it makes sense to settle your case with the other side, or to continue pursuing your case towards trial.
