Florida Personal Injury Laws

If You Are Not Satisfied With Your Attorney

If you’re currently represented by an attorney in a personal injury case, and you are not satisfied with the representation you’re getting, simply pick up the phone and talk to or make an appointment to meet with your attorney to address your concerns and any complaints or questions you might have. Many times those concerns can get resolved by a simple phone call or an in-person meeting. But if your concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, then the best thing to do is consult with another attorney. Typically, that consultation is going to be free of charge, won’t cost you anything, but you may be able to get a second opinion which can help you make a decision as to whether it’s in your best interest to stick with your current attorney or switch attorneys.

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.

Do you need a lawyer for a car accident claim that was not your fault?

You should have a lawyer any time you’re injured in any kind of accident, but especially a car accident in Florida. If you don’t report your accident to your own insurance company and get medical treatment within 14 days you could lose valuable insurance benefits. I’m Mel Wright. I’m a partner at Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter. Call us at 1800-49 LEGAL.

Value Of A Case

Most clients or most consumers always want to know how much their case is worth, but most lawyers will tell you that they don’t know what your case is worth. There’s two values to your case: the amount that an insurance company is voluntarily willing to pay to settle your case, or the amount that a jury will later tell you your case is worth after hearing all the evidence in your case. And while most cases do settle before trial, the overall economic and non-economic damages in your case must be assessed by not only your attorneys but also the insurance company or the defense lawyers and then hopefully the parties can come to a reasonable compromise or an agreement on the value of the case for settlement purposes. If not, the case will go to trial and a jury will determine what they believe the case is worth after hearing all of the evidence presented by all sides of the case.

What is Medicare fraud?

Well, basically, it’s billing fraud and if you think that a healthcare provider, a hospital, or anyone has been inappropriately billing Medicare give me a call. I’d like to discuss that in more detail with you. I’m Ryan Gilbert with Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter, 1800-49 LEGAL.

Car Accident Injury Compensation

Hi. I’m Julia McGrath, an attorney here at the Dolman Law Group. Often times clients ask me can I be compensated or can I get money from my pain and suffering that I’ve sustained as a result of my motor vehicle collision? In order to get money for pain and suffering damages, the law actually tells us in Florida what we need to prove. And what we need to prove is that you’ve suffered a permanent injury.

What is Considered a Permanent Injury?

The law also spells out for us what can be considered a permanent injury. So that’s loss of use of an important bodily function, loss of a limb, disfigurement other than scarring, or any other permanent injury within a degree of medical certainty. For more information, contact me, Julia McGrath here at the Dolman Law Group. Thanks again for visiting our YouTube channel.

Am I at Risk If I File a Lawsuit in Orlando

A lot of clients that I meet with have the same concern. A lot of them are concerned if there’s a risk to them to bring a lawsuit. The short answer to that is, there’s some risk, but we fight hard to minimize those risks. For instance, we advance all the litigation costs in a typical case. If we’re not able to succeed or win the case, the client does not owe us any money. Another thing clients worry about is, if it costs money to meet with the lawyer to just talk about their case, and it does not. We offer free consultations on any type of case. So, there’s no harm or risk to you to come in, to sit with us, to talk about the case, and discuss your options. We’ll give you honest advise on whether you have a case, and what the chances of success are in that case. So if you have a question like that, feel free to call us.

Orlando Nursing Home Neglect

I handled a 100 of nursing home cases over the last 20 years in Florida. They’re very sad cases, they’re difficult cases. And most of the cases the nursing home resident has passed away as a result of the neglect at the nursing home. And those cases the family is still entitled to recover. A lot of families have questions about whose entitled to recover. We can sit down and look at the situation and answer those questions and talk to you about whose entitled to recover. In a case where the nursing home resident is heard and still alive that nursing home resident has a claim for the medical bills and the pain and suffering that they went through. In a case where the nursing home resident passes away the family is then entitled to recover lost of love and support and guidance and pain and suffering for losing their love one. If you have any questions about a nursing home case in Florida, feel free to call me. Nathan Carter at Colling, Gilbert, Wright & Carter, 1-800-49-LEGAL.
