Florida Auto Accident & Motorcycle Laws

Do You Always Need a Lawyer?

Many people ask that question. The truthful answer is no. There are many cases people can handle on their own. If you only have a few aches and pains after a crash and you fully recover after a few weeks, honestly there’s no need for a lawyer. The insurance company will probably be happy to give you a little money to sign a release. But don’t sign anything until you’re sure you’re okay.

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?

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.

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.

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.
