Help with Your Hollywood Auto Accident Lawsuit
Do I need to hire a lawyer right away?
The sooner you hire an attorney, the better chance you have to properly protect your legal rights. The insurance companies have attorneys and claims representatives who are hired to save the insurance company money. A personal injury lawyer is your protection against those money-saving tactics.
An attorney also takes steps to preserve evidence and to find the witnesses necessary to prove your case. Early consultation with an attorney prevents or reduces problems with your claim. Contact our firm to discuss your auto accident claim.
Can I file a car accident lawsuit anytime I want?
No. You must file your car accident lawsuit within four years of the accident. If your loved one died in a car accident, you have two years to file a wrongful death action. Talk to our attorneys immediately to discuss your car accident or wrongful death lawsuit.
Do I still have a case even if I might have been partly at fault for the accident?
You may be able to recover damages, even if you were negligent and your negligence contributed to your injury. Under Florida's comparative negligence law, your recovery is reduced in proportion to the percentage of negligence determined by the judge or jury.
Will I have to go to court to recover for my injuries?
Not necessarily. Each case is different. Some cases settle quickly without having to file a lawsuit. Other cases settle after a sufficient time has passed to allow your doctors to treat and evaluate your injuries.
Our firm strives for quick and meaningful resolutions, but we are prepared to take a case to trial to secure the compensation you deserve. Cases that go to trial take longer to resolve and there are no guarantees, but trials often are necessary in the face of small insurance company offers.
