Florida Personal Injury Laws

The Amount Of Time To Get To Trail

In Florida a personal injury case generally takes anywhere from about 18 months to three years to get to trial from the date the accident happened. It sometimes can be shorter, sometimes can take a little longer, and it depends primarily on the Judge assigned to the case, the size of his or her docket, and other factors including the complexity of the case and any scheduling conflicts with the attorneys and the parties.

Semi-Truck Accident Attorney

Retaining an attorney after you’ve been injured in a big rig trucking accident is essential, but you want to get not just a good lawyer, the best lawyer. You want someone who is qualified, someone who has had experience in handling, in litigating, and hopefully in taking to verdict some big rig tractor trailer truck cases. You need a lawyer who knows the federal regulations. You need a lawyer who is trusted by other lawyers. It’s not good enough to just research a lawyer on the Internet. You want to find out his or her reputation by checking with other lawyers or by checking with organizations to see what her qualifications are and what she has been doing over the course of her career.

When can you sue when you slip and fall in a store or business?

It really depends on the circumstances. If the business was aware of a dangerous condition on their property and they didn’t warn you about it and you slip and fall, you’re entitled to compensation. With other questions, call us at 180049 legal at Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter.

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.

Key Information On Car Accident Cases

Depending on the severity of your injuries, it’s important that either you or family members, if you’ve been severely or catastrophically injured, document as much as possible. Oftentimes we as lawyers are at a disadvantage if we don’t get a case until many months down the road, because we have lost some crucial time between the date of the crash and the time that we’re involved in the case. Oftentimes the insurance company for the at fault driver or the at fault truck driver will be on the scene right away, documenting what occurred.

So it’s important that you document not only what happened at the scene, document witnesses that may have observed what happened, but also documenting your injuries with photographs or videos of you in the hospital or of your injuries so that the evidence can be documented and maintained and safeguarded to be used later in the claims handling process.

Cost To Bring An Auto Accident Claim

Typically it will not. Most law firms in the state of Florida will handle automobile and trucking accident cases on what we call a contingent fee basis, and that is what the Florida bar permits us as lawyers to do to essentially level the playing field and be able to match the resources of the insurance companies and the trucking industry. It allows us to represent you as consumers who have been involved in an accident on a contingent fee basis, meaning that we as the lawyers don’t get paid until the end of the case and we only get paid at the end of the case if there’s been a recovery in your favor. It also allows us in a contingent fee representation situation to advance all of the costs on your behalf, and oftentimes in trucking cases and product liability cases and automobile cases the expenses can build up rather quickly. It allows us to advance those costs on your behalf and then recoup those costs at the end of the case if there’s been a successful recovery.

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.
