You can rely on them to:
Investigate The Car Crash
For your case to succeed, your attorney needs to understand all of the facts. When our firm takes on a case, we thoroughly review every aspect of the accident. This process starts with determining how the crash occurred and identifying the responsible parties. An investigation will also spell out the extent of your damages resulting from your injury.
The evidence we can gather to help us reach these conclusions includes the following:
- The police report
- Sobriety test results
- Traffic citations
- Video surveillance
- Relevant pictures
- Witness accounts
- Medical records and bills
Negotiate A Settlement That Meets Your Needs
After we review your damages, we can request a settlement from the insurance company. Usually, they come back with an offer that doesn’t cover all of your damages. In that event, your attorney can start negotiating a fair settlement.
We can generally reach an agreement. However, if that’s not the case for you, we can prepare your case for a trial and continue the fight for compensation.
Comply With The Statute Of Limitations
We encourage you to reach out to our law firm soon, as we must meet the statute of limitations that Florida imposes. Otherwise, you may no longer be eligible to recover damages from the other party.
In general, Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) states that those filing a West Palm Beach personal injury lawsuithave four years to do so. If you’re taking wrongful death action, Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d) usually enforces a two-year deadline.
Head Injuries Could Change Your Life Forever
Head injuries that result from motor vehicle accidents frequently have life-altering, even fatal, consequences. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries are a leading cause of death in the U.S and can result in a wide range of health issues, including:
- Confusion
- Slurred speech
- Chronic pain
- Trouble walking
- Balance issues
- Loss of the ability to speak
- Personality changes
- Coma
Over time, some people recover from these issues. Others will face the consequences of a head injury for the rest of their lives. What is unusual about head and brain injuries, in particular, is that it can take time for some symptoms to develop. Then, by the time you seek medical attention, you may have permanent damage and/or face a long road to recovery.
Seeing a doctor as soon as possible after the accident can help prevent further damage and the condition from worsening. On top of that, it may support your case. Documentation of the doctor’s visit can show the insurance company that the car accident directly caused your injury. That way, the adjuster will have more difficulty disputing your case and offering a lowball settlement.
