How An Experienced, Highly Rated And Reviewed Personal Injury Attorney Will Help You!

Suffering injuries in an automobile, motorcycle, pedestrian, or bicycle accident can be devastating. Taking on, negotiating with, or litigating against an insurance carriers and their attorneys all by yourself is nearly impossible. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney who will work directly with you and your family to maximize your recovery is almost always the best course of action. Here’s how we can help you and maximize your recovery:

Understanding and Knowing the Law

An experienced, highly rated and reviewed personal injury attorney will provide effective legal advice throughout your injury claim, because he/she knows the specifics of Florida personal injury law. Issues such a proving who is responsible for an accident, how and by whom your medical bills will be paid, how and by whom will your lost wages be reimbursed, and what steps should be taken to maximize your claim recovery will all be reviewed with you by your experienced, highly rated and reviewed personal injury attorney. Your attorney will provide sound legal advice which is unaffected by emotion. An experienced personal injury attorney will be by your side throughout your entire claim process. Always remember that insurance companies have legions of lawyers and claims adjusters working to reduce the value of your claim, but your attorney’s only goal is to ethically maximize the value of your injury claim. 

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

With the help of an experienced, highly rated and reviewed personal injury attorney, oftentimes your injury claim will be resolved before a lawsuit ever has to be filed. All steps are taken to present your claim in the best light possible, so that an insurance adjuster has little to argue with regarding your claim. Knowing how your insurance adjuster will “challenge” your claim and its value, and proactively being able to successfully respond to these challenges before they are even made, is what almost universally brings about a successful, pre-litigation claim settlement. While not every claim can be settled quickly, and some cases require litigation and ultimately a trial, many clients will never have to see a courtroom. 

Filing a Lawsuit

Again, not all personal injury claims resolve without the filing of a lawsuit. The most common reason for having to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party is a difference in opinion regarding the overall value of your claim. If an insurance company will not agree to compensate you in a manner that we believe is fair to you, then we recommend filing a lawsuit against the at-fault party. If this becomes necessary, we will file all necessary pleadings and paperwork in your case on your behalf. Litigants without attorneys almost always find the litigation process confusing, tedious, and nearly impossible to navigate, and don’t even know where to start. An experienced personal injury attorney eliminates these issues regarding your claim altogether.

Automobile accident lawsuits must be filed within four years of the date of accident. If the claim is an Uninsured Motorist claim, the lawsuit deadline is five years from the date of accident. An experienced personal injury attorney will ensure that all legal paperwork is properly and timely filed, with no legal deadlines being missed. 

Gathering Evidence

In order to win a personal injury claim or lawsuit against an at-fault party and their insurance company, you must prove the at-fault party in fact caused your accident. Much evidence must be obtained, such as camera footage, such as store camera footage or traffic camera footage; accident site photographs; injury photographs; witness statements, including your account of the accident; and scientific evidence, such as crash recorder data and accident reconstructionist opinions.  Obtaining evidence is tedious, time intensive, and expensive. When you hire an experienced, highly rated and reviewed personal injury attorney, your attorney will do all this work on your behalf, and lay out the costs up front for you.

Presenting Evidence

If litigation and trial become necessary in your claim, an experienced, highly rated and reviewed personal injury attorney is highly trained and skilled with making your claim more persuasive and effective in a courtroom. The more effective and persuasive your injury claim is presented, the more likely a successful result becomes. If your claim requires the filing of a lawsuit which leads to a trial, your attorney will painstakingly prepare you to testify effectively, speak compellingly on your behalf, and present the best evidence and experts possible to maximize the value of your claim. Experience and preparation can make all the difference in the world towards the final result in your personal injury claim. 

Maximizing Compensation

While all people injured as a result of another’s negligence are technically entitled to compensation, an experienced personal injury attorney knows how to maximize the value of your claim. Attorneys with different experience and expertise might handle your claim differently, which could affect how an insurance adjuster values your claim. The most common forms of injury damages are:

• Past and future medical expenses related to your injuries
• Loss of ability if your injuries are permanent in nature
• Loss of income if you have to take time off work while you recover
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Past and future pain and suffering
• Mental anguish

An experienced, highly rated and reviewed personal injury attorney will fight to ensure that your damages are fairly compensated by an insurance company or responsible party.
