Types Of Motor Vehicles Accidents
We represent families who have lost a loved one or individuals who have been catastrophically injured in car and truck accidents arising from rear end collisions, left turn collisions, stop sign failures, red light violation, speeding violations, drunk drivers, rollovers, unsafe lane changes, broadside collisions, and just about any other traffic fatality. Therefore, if you have lost a loved one due to a traffic accident, liability must be investigated immediately after the accident occurs. The strength of your claim often depends on the amount of liability evidence we can gather following the accident.
COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE
Even if it appears that your loved one was solely responsible for the accident, you may still have a wrongful death claim. Comparative negligence is the law in Florida which means that the fault of each driver is evaluated, so someone who is 90% at fault for the accident, may still recover 10% of their damages. Noteworthy, many single vehicle accidents are not caused by driver error, rather by bad road conditions, the vehicle’s mechanical defects, or the actions of a phantom vehicle that fled the scene. In these cases, it is even more important that you quickly hire an attorney to gather evidence such as dashcam footage (which can be erased), eye-witness testimony, photos of the crash, and police and toxicology reports. Call us today for a free, no obligation, confidential discussion about your case.
What We Do On Your Case
In addition to interviewing witnesses, we frequently use investigators, accident reconstruction experts, human factors experts, and other forensic experts to establish how your accident occurred. As the investigation of your case develops, we determine which of these experts will be most useful and add them to your team. Having the right experts on your case improves the chances of settling your case before trial, but also prepares us to go to trial if the insurance company does not offer you the amount of money you deserve.
Even though almost all of our cases settle before the trial starts, we prepare your case like we are going to trial. In our experience, there is no substitution for preparation and the insurance company for the wrongdoer will know if your case is properly prepared and make settlement offers accordingly. We relentlessly strive for the maximum settlement for our clients.
Will My Case Settle Out-Of-Court?
Because trials are stressful and often involve risks for you, we will do everything possible to get you the maximum out of a court settlement. In fact, we are proud to say that over the last 38 years, most of our cases settle without going to trial. However, we prepare your case like we are going to take it to trial, in the event the insurance company refuses to offer the settlement you deserve. Ultimately, it is YOUR decision whether to settle your case or go to trial. You will know the exact amount of money you will put in your pocket before you give us your authority to settle your claim.
How The “Other Side” Evaluates Your Case
Nearly every claim we handle involves dealing with an insurance company for the wrongdoer. When the insurance company evaluates your case for settlement purposes, they consider such factors as the amount of your damages. Equally important however, the insurance company puts a great deal of weight on the reputation of your attorney. If your attorney has no established track record of taking cases to trial, the insurance company will probably know this and not make a serious settlement offer. On the other hand, if your attorney has an impressive record of settlements and verdicts, the insurance company knows that your attorney does not bluff and will fight to get you the largest settlement you deserve.
Experience Handling Your Claim
We have helped thousands of car and truck accident victims over the last 38 years. If you would like to view just some of our results in these types of cases, click on the “Verdicts and Settlements” icon at the top of this page. We strive to get you the maximum compensation, as quickly as possible.
No Fees Or Costs Unless We Recover Money For You
Our services are 100% free if we do not win your case. From the moment you hire us, you will never have to give us a dime. We will advance the costs of all litigation (for example, court costs, filing fees, expert witness fees, investigators), which you only have to repay if we recover money from the insurance company or the wrongdoer. In other words, you only pay our fees and costs, if we win your case.
Appointments
As a courtesy to our clients, we can arrange free home appointments at your convenience, including evenings and weekends. Please contact us for a no-charge, no obligation, confidential discussion about your claim. We look forward to hearing from you.
