Florida Personal Injury 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.

Attorney Fees And Contingency Fees

Typically most attorneys in the state of Florida will charge on a contingent fee basis. And what that means – it allows us, or allows any attorney, to represent you as a consumer on a contingent fee basis meaning there’s no upfront fees and no upfront costs that have to be paid by you as a consumer. We are able to represent you and we don’t get paid until the end of the case and only if there’s a successful recovery on your behalf do we get a percentage of that recovery in attorney fees and do we recoup the cost that we have advanced on your behalf during our handling of the case.

Who is Entitled to Recover Money in Orlando Wrongful Death Litigation

A lot of times people will ask us in a wrongful death situation whose entitled to recover money if we bring the lawsuit. A lot of times that depends on the type of case, it depends on if the person left a will, and it depends on some other probate factors. We can sit down with you and the family and go over all of that and discuss your options with you. A lot of times there are what are called statutory survivors that the law sets forth. For example, if a person passes away and leaves a surviving spouse, a lot of times the surviving spouse is entitled to recover. If the person that passed away does not a have a surviving spouse, sometimes their children or even their grandchildren are allowed to recover. If you have questions about those sorts of issues, call me, Nathan Carter at Colling, Gilbert, Wright, and Carter, 1-800-49-LEGAL.

Alternatives To Court, Auto Accident

There are alternatives to going to court in an accident case. Obviously, one alternative is to settle your case, and then you will not be going to court at all. But other than having a jury trial with a judge presiding over the trial, there are certain things that can be done. You can have a mediation, which, if it works, your case would be settled. You can have an arbitration, which means one or perhaps three individuals hear the case and make a decision. So the answer is yes, there are other options in your case other than going to court.

Orlando Personal Injury

The case that most impacted me was a couple who lost their child to a drowning accident. We were able to recover against the lifeguards and whenever a couple lose a child, you expect as a lawyer – because we see this over and over – you expect to see that couple get divorced. They rarely last more than another five years. It was ten years after this settlement, and I ran into this couple in the local mall, and they were still together. I left there with my wife with a big weight off my chest. I had always wondered what happened to that couple. I’m convinced that the early resolution of the case helped them get counseling and stay together. It really, really impacted me personally. I’m Mel Wright.

Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Claim in Orlando?

If you suspect that medical malpractice has occurred, it’s usually important right away to document things. A lot of times I tell folks to take notes, take pictures, document things early. Because when you’re stressed out and things are happening fast, a lot of times you don’t remember that later. Then, once you do all that, I think it’s important to talk to an attorney. Because a lot of times, you don’t know if malpractice has occurred. What we do then, is gather all the records. We’re able to spot issues on some of these cases easier than lay people are. We also have experts in every type of medical malpractice that has occurred. so we can get those records to our experts. Go over the whole chart and then sit down with you and the rest of the family and consult about whether or not there is a case. If you think you may have a case or just want to discuss your options, call me. Nathan Carter at Colling, Gilbert, Wright & Carter 1-800-49-LEGAL.

Why Our Law Firm Is Different

A lot of clients that come to us have also met with other firms or other lawyers. I think one thing that make our firm special is that each of the partners and each of the lawyers in our firm meet with clients personally. If we take the case we handle the case personally. My clients call me everyday, they e-mail me, they call me on my cellphone. We get personally invested with our clients in their cases. We don’t take a huge volume of cases. We try to take a number of cases that we can handle the client personally and handle the case like it’s a member of our family. I think some firms in Florida and in Orlando take a high volume of cases, and I think the work suffers because the clients don’t get to know their lawyer and the lawyer is not personally invested in their case. If you have a question about a case and would like to sit down with one of us personally and talk about it. If we take the case we’ll handle it personally. Another thing is that we have a team of lawyers and a team of experts that work together on your case. So we’re all fighting for you and fighting for your cause. If you have a question about a case like that or just want to discuss about your options with us, call me. Nathan Carter at 1-800-49-LEGAL.
