Florida Personal Injury Laws

Pedestrian Injured By Motor Vehicle

As a pedestrian who’s been injured by a motor vehicle,  it’s very important that you contact a reputable law firm that handles those types of cases, and you want to do that sooner rather than later. Hopefully you have notified the police so that the accident itself is documented. If you have required medical treatment as a result of your injuries, you want to document the injuries through photographs and video taken by family members, so that that evidence can be preserved. But you want an attorney on board quickly that can investigate the accident, because you as a pedestrian, are almost always going to be blamed for your own injuries. Were you crossing at the right crossing point? Were you j-walking? Were you crossing the road against a pedestrian crossing signal? You want an attorney to be able to investigate the accident and reconstruct the accident to determine exactly who was at fault.

After a car accident it’s important to always call the police and make sure you get a police report, and have an opportunity to speak with the officer to give your version of what happened in the accident. Also to the extent as possible, take photographs of the accident scene, including all damage to your car and the other cars there were in the crash.

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?

Entitled To File A Lawsuit

The way you will learn whether or not you’re entitled to file a lawsuit due to your accident, will come as a result of your obtaining the advice – the input of an attorney, once he or she has investigated and evaluated the case. That attorney will then tell you whether or not you have a viable case, and if so, when the time is to file that lawsuit.

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.

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.

At-Fault Driver Is Uninsured

All too often in the state of Florida, automobile accidents occur and the at-fault driver who caused the crash is uninsured. It’s important in the state of Florida, because there are so many uninsured or underinsured drivers that you carry uninsured motorist coverage under your own automobile insurance policy. So if it happens where somebody causes a crash, causes you injuries or damages, but does not have adequate insurance to cover your loses and damages, you can then turn to your own underinsured motorist coverage to help compensate you for injuries and your loses.

Why Our Law Firm Is Different

A lot of clients that come to us have also met with other firms or other lawyers. I think one thing that make our firm special is that each of the partners and each of the lawyers in our firm meet with clients personally. If we take the case we handle the case personally. My clients call me everyday, they e-mail me, they call me on my cellphone. We get personally invested with our clients in their cases. We don’t take a huge volume of cases. We try to take a number of cases that we can handle the client personally and handle the case like it’s a member of our family. I think some firms in Florida and in Orlando take a high volume of cases, and I think the work suffers because the clients don’t get to know their lawyer and the lawyer is not personally invested in their case. If you have a question about a case and would like to sit down with one of us personally and talk about it. If we take the case we’ll handle it personally. Another thing is that we have a team of lawyers and a team of experts that work together on your case. So we’re all fighting for you and fighting for your cause. If you have a question about a case like that or just want to discuss about your options with us, call me. Nathan Carter at 1-800-49-LEGAL.
