Florida Auto Accident & Motorcycle Laws

Motorcycle Accident Litigation in Orlando

In Florida, a lot of people like to get outside and ride motorcycles especially in the Summer or in the Spring. When the weather’s nice, we also have a lot of tourists who drive in Florida so that’s a bad combination. Over the years, we’ve handled a lot of cases involving motorcycles or hit by cars and vehicles and tourists. Usually the motorcyclist is hurt the worst in those cases, and a lot of times the motorcyclists and their families ask us if the person can still bring the case even if they weren’t wearing a helmet, and the answer is yes you can. You do not, by law, have to wear a helmet in Florida. The way they use it against you is by arguing that comparative fault is some of the fault is yours for not wearing a helmet, but you’re still allowed to bring the case, and you’re still allowed to recover if you were not at fault. If you have a question about a motorcycle accident case, call me, Nathan Carter at Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter 1-800-49-LEGAL.

How To Successfully Litigate Personal Injury Claim

Hi. I’m Julia McGrath an attorney here at the Dolman Law Group. Often times clients ask me, what do I need to be doing as a client, in order to succeed on my personal injury claim? While we, as the attorney, are investigating the claim and doing the legal research, it’s important that you as a client to fill some of your obligations as well.

Keeping Medical Records

One of those things is keeping fresh with your medical records, and what I mean by that is seeking medical treatment and going to your doctor’s appointment. These appointments and medical records become imperative, in order for us to demonstrate to the insurance company the extent of your injuries and what you should be compensated for. It’s important when you’re meeting with your treating physician to document the extent of your injuries by listing everything that hurts and everything that’s wrong with you. Be thorough in your complaints, so that your doctor can take down all this information and embody it into your medical record for us to use later down the road.

One of the most common questions we get from car accident victims is: If I get cited for the accident, can I still sue?

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. Call us with any questions about your car accident claim. I’m Mel Wright, I’m a partner at Colling Gilbert Wright and Carter. Call us at 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.

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.
