Florida Auto Accident & Motorcycle Laws

Do most car accident cases settle out of court?

The answer is, yes. But, there’s only one way that we can get the settlement that you deserve. And that is, we have to prepare your cases if we’re going to go to trial. We have to be ready to take your case to trial. And we do try cases, and the insurance companies know that, so we can get the right value for your case. If you’d like to discuss your case in more detail, give me a call. I’m Ron Gilbert with Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter: 1-800-49-LEGAL.

What kind of injuries are entitled to be compensated for after a car accident in Florida?

It really depends in a lot of circumstances, but usually you need to prove that you had some sort of permanent injury. That could be permanent strain, or it could be paralysis, or anything in between. Don’t assume that you’re not able to make a claim. Call us and ask us questions at 1-800-49-LEGAL at Colling Gilbert Wright and Carter.

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?

Personal Injury Litigation Process

I’m Alexander Knapp from the Dolman Law Group, Clearwater, auto accident attorney. Oftentimes when new clients come through our doors they’re confused. They’ve never been through a personal injury case before and they want to know what the process entails. Very simple, there are five basic steps to a personal injury case.

Step One

Step one is the accident and the ensuing medical care that the client has to undergo to make himself feel better.

Step Two

Step two, your attorney will collect all of your medical records and submit a demand on your behalf to the insurance company in an attempt to resolve your case.

Step Three

The third step, we enter into a negotiation with the insurance company in an attempt to amicably resolve your case for both sides.

Step Four and Five

Step four, should we fail to amicably resolve the case with the insurance company, we’re forced to file a lawsuit with the court and enter into the litigation process, and step five, should the case not resolve during litigation, a trial. Thanks for listening. If you have any questions about your personal injury claim, feel free to contact me, Alexander Knapp, at the Dolman Law Group. Visit our YouTube channel.

Who Do I Hire Following an Auto Accident

Hi, I’m Julia McGrath, an attorney here at the Dolman Law Group.  Oftentimes, people ask me, “What kind of attorney do I need after I’ve suffered an injury?” What I tell them is that you need a personal injury attorney. Now there are a lot of attorneys out there that handle criminal law, family law, bankruptcy, but only a personal injury attorney knows how to deal with an insurance company and knows how to maximize the value of your claim.  For more information, call me – Julia McGrath – here at the Dolman Law Group.

If you’re not wearing your seat belt and you’re injured in an accident in Florida can you still recover money damages?

Of course you can. The seat belt didn’t cause the accident. It may have contributed to some of your injuries, but you’re still entitled to recover from the person who caused the accident. Call us at Colin Gilbert Wright & Carter at 1800-49 LEGAL with any questions about your car accident claim.

How do you value your car accident case?

There are many different factors that we look at. Things like: how long were you out of work? What were your medical bills? What type of injury did you suffer? Is it an injury that’s going to require surgery? Is it something that’s going to be long-lasting with permanent impairment? So, if you have questions about your car accident case, give me a call.
