Florida Personal Injury Laws

Finding A Brain Injury Attorney

In a Florida brain injury case, in order to begin the litigation process it is essential that you obtain the services of a very competent, qualified, and experienced trial lawyer. You need to seek out and do the proper research and your due diligence in finding a lawyer who is experienced in handling brain injury cases. And by experience I mean not only a lawyer who has litigated and handled them for years, but a lawyer who has taken brain injury cases to verdict in front of judges and juries.

After a car accident it’s important to always call the police and make sure you get a police report, and have an opportunity to speak with the officer to give your version of what happened in the accident. Also to the extent as possible, take photographs of the accident scene, including all damage to your car and the other cars there were in the crash.

Injury Is Apparent After An Accident

If you’ve been in a car accident, whether you feel pain immediately at the scene or not, you should go see a doctor right away. The reason for that is there are many times that you can have any injury that is not immediately apparent to you and sometimes doesn’t develop into pain or discomfort for a few hours or a few days. Rather than wait and give it an opportunity to develop, it’s best to see a doctor immediately. That way, you can document any complaints or symptoms you may have, and that way you get a full checkout to ensure that you don’t have some hidden or unknown injury that could be problematic or of greater concern to you.

Swimming Pool Owner Liability

The owner of a swimming pool can sometimes be held legally liable for any accidents, injuries, or drownings that happen in the pool. But that depends on whether or not the owner took reasonable steps to prevent the accident from happening.

Common examples of reasonable steps that a swimming pool owner can take, is making sure that there is the appropriate fence or enclosure around the pool to prevent children from wondering into it, to make sure that it is adequately lit.

In certain circumstances making sure that there is a lifeguard, or making sure that other people are around to prevent accidents from happening. Another important thing is to pay close attention to the surface surrounding the pool, make sure that it is a non-slip or slip-resistant surface to prevent slip and fall type accidents in the pools area.

Suing A Property Owner

You can sue the owner of the property where you were injured if you can prove legal responsibility on the part of that owner. You not only have to prove some level of fault, or carelessness, or neglect by that owner; you have to show that the owner is legally responsible to you as someone who is on the property, and either had a right to be on the property or were they had a duty to see to it that you were not injured under a multitude of circumstances.

Lawyer Referral Service

Hi, I’m Matt Dolman, of the Dolman Law Group. I’m a Clearwater civil trial attorney. If you were just in an accident you may be wondering whether you should call a lawyer referral service, one that advertises on television or the radio. In fact, if you live in the Tampa Bay area, our market is inundated with these advertisements all day long, and you’re probably wondering how good are they. Well, keep in mind that lawyer referral services are only partly regulated by the Florida Bar. When I say partly, only the lawyers are regulated. The lawyer referral service can often make advertisements, make claims, make statements that don’t pass Bar scrutiny. In fact, they don’t have to submit their advertisements to the Florida Bar.

411 Pain & Ask Gary

If you listen to a recent radio advertisement for 411 PAIN, you’ll note that the non-lawyer attorney spokesperson makes a very curious statement. And the statement they make is we have a very exclusive group of attorneys. We’ve spent many years putting this group together. Well, what does that really mean? Does that mean that these lawyers are superbly talented? I don’t want to make a generalization because there are some good lawyers that belong to these networks, but really if you become a member of 411 PAIN or Ask Gary, you simply have to pay to become a member. It’s a pay for play system. It doesn’t state the quality of the lawyer, how many cases they’ve tried, the types of verdicts they’ve obtained, are they experiencing any personal injury claims like yours. It simply means that they paid to be a member of a lawyer referral service, but keep in mind that being a member of such an exclusive group does not convey quality. It just conveys they paid.
