Florida Auto Accident & Motorcycle Laws

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
