How Can I Help You Move Forward
When you hire me, you are getting an attorney with 28 years of experience who understands exactly how the opposition thinks. I know exactly how to counter the tactics adjusters use to minimize your payout. Here is how I can help you secure the compensation you need:
- Handling the paperwork: I will take over legal paperwork and communications.
- Pursuing maximum compensation: I will fight for a settlement that covers all of your accident-related damages, including long-term physical therapy, medical bills, lost wages and car repairs.
- Working on a contingency fee: You may be afraid of being left with debt due to someone else’s mistake, which is why I take cases with no upfront costs to you.
I am committed to assisting you throughout the entire legal process.
What Should I Do Immediately After An Accident To Protect My Legal Right To Compensation?
First, seek medical attention immediately to address any physical pain and document your injuries. You should also contact the police to ensure an official report is filed regarding the property damage and the scene of the crash. Do not admit fault. Try to gather contact information from any witnesses.
Most importantly, reach out to a personal injury attorney before speaking with the at-fault driver’s insurance company so they can help protect your rights from the very beginning.
What Is The Deadline For Filing A Personal Injury Lawsuit In Florida?
It is critical to understand the impact of the two-year statute of limitations on your claim. In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Though claims for accidents occurring before March 24, 2023, may still fall under the prior four-year limit.
If you miss this deadline, you will likely lose your right to recover compensation for your medical bills and lost wages. Reaching out to a car accident attorney promptly allows them to preserve evidence and build a strong case.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partially At Fault For The Accident?
You may recover compensation if you are partially at fault, provided your responsibility does not exceed 50%. However, an insurance company will frequently try to assign more blame to you to avoid paying for your medical bills and recovery.
As your attorney, I will use my decades of experience and my insider knowledge of insurance defense tactics to push back against them and fight for the fair settlement you deserve.
