It is critical to have qualified experts to establish both liability and damages in a motorcycle accident case. We’ve had cases where there have been four or five witnesses that have observed a motorcycle accident, and invariably two years, three years later when you’re taking their depositions, they have completely inconsistent versions of what happened even though they all witnessed the same exact crash. So it’s important to have qualified, reputable experts that can talk to a jury about liability issues and can reconstruct the accident. Also, in motorcycle accident cases, you’re typically dealing with death or at least with catastrophic injuries. When you represent a motorcycle accident victim who has had catastrophic injuries, it’s important to have qualified medical experts that cannot only talk about current injuries but also assess future needs and future medical care required to treat what are oftentimes catastrophic injuries.

Of course you can. The police officer wasn’t a witness to the accident in most cases, as a result, it doesn’t matter who gets the ticket. The jury decides who should’ve gotten the ticket.

Here at Best & Anderson we handle a multitude of cases and kinds of cases. One of those is premises liability. It’s probably the one concept in the law that most people don’t know or understand. Clearly, if you were walking down the sidewalk and a pit bull dog runs out of somebody’s yard and bites you, you would probably figure you have a case – and you probably would. But the rest of the concept is a little more complicated.
If you go to a business – let’s say a convenience store, a bar even, a restaurant, or even an apartment complex – and you’re the victim of a crime, and the criminal is not even related to the business, most people think that’s just a criminal matter for the police. But, in fact, it may be a matter that can be handled in civil court, and you may be entitled to damages for your injuries.
You hear about people that have been abducted and attacked sexually at a business, and no one would ordinarily think they’d have a case because the business owner didn’t cause that directly. But if the business allows a condition to exist, a danger zone to exist, and they knew or should have known that there’s a danger there and they do nothing to correct it, they can be liable. That’s called a foreseeable zone of risk. So, if reasonable people that own a business know of prior criminal activities or the likelihood of disorderly conduct, they have to correct it.
If someone gets injured even by a criminal unrelated to the business, they could have a case. And you really don’t know ahead of time whether the insurance company or the business has told the truth. You don’t know whether there’ve been prior incidents on that property or not.
Even if you file a claim, you can’t find out what happened without doing investigation. That’s what we do. We get crime grids and we find out how many crimes have been committed on their property. Then, if we can establish that they knew or should have known that there was a danger and someone got injured from that, you could have a good case. Thank you for listening to me.

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.

It depends on the situation, but if you’ve been injured on a construction site or at the workplace you want to contact an attorney to first assess whether or not you have a viable worker’s compensation claim. Oftentimes if you do not have worker’s compensation insurance, or if you’re injured on a construction site and there was reckless or willful conduct on the part of the employer, you may have a viable third party negligence claim against your employer.
Oftentimes, however, individuals injured on a construction site they just think that they do not have a case and they never contact an attorney until it’s too late and the statute of limitations has already been expired. But if you’ve suffered a catastrophic workplace injury – especially on a construction site – you want to talk to a reputable law firm to assess whether or not you have a viable case against your employer.

If you or a loved one have been struck by a motor vehicle while a pedestrian, you very well may have a basis to pursue a claim against the driver of the car. But the basis for that claim depends on the circumstances surrounding the crash. You’d have to be able to demonstrate that the driver was negligent or careless, meaning that he or she did something wrong to cause the crash. An example would be that the driver run a stop sign or a red light, or failed to yield to you while crossing in the crosswalk. If the car was owned by somebody other than the driver, you may also have a basis to pursue a claim against the owner of the car. And if the accident happened at the time that the driver was on duty for an employer, then the employer may also be responsible for your injuries.
