What Types of Winter Park Personal Injury Cases Do We Take?

Any situation where a person is severely injured because of the negligence of another person or business could form the basis of a viable personal injury lawsuit. Thus, we're willing to review all types of cases. As I mentioned above, we handle cases where people are seriously injured, and thus many of our cases involve commercial vehicles, 18-wheelers, and commercial properties. However, we handle a wide variety of accident and injury cases, including:

• Car Accidents: Whether you were a driver or a passenger in a car accident, we can help build a strong case and press the insurance company to pay maximum compensation for the case.
• Wrongful Death: When someone dies due to someone else's negligence, we fight to recover compensation for the family's loss. Often, these cases are based in negligent security, but someone these cases involve a vehicle collision or a semi-truck collision.
• Truck Accidents: Truck accidents are no joke, and people are often hurt badly. We go beyond the driver and investigate the companies involved. Often times, they should never have hired the driver in the first place. Other times, they push that poor driver to the limit until he or she broke down and caused a serious crash. Regardless, it's often the companies to blame in these cases, and our experience shows that going after the companies, as well as the driver, often yields the best results. 
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road. If you suffered injuries due to another driver's negligence, we fight for the compensation you're entitled to under the law. 
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, from grocery stores to sidewalks and parking lots. Often times, there was a dangerous condition that a person or employee let stand for far too long, and someone got hurt as a result. Many people judge these cases and think they're a joke. That is, until their mother or father slips and needs a $145,000 knee surgery and will never be able to walk the same again. That's when we step in to help. This kind of thing happens all the time, and it often could have been stopped if someone put out a sign or grabbed a towel when they saw the issue.
• Premises Liability: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors. If you were injured on someone else's property due to their negligence, we can help you pursue a claim for compensation.
• Dog Bites: Dog's can't he held liable under the law. They have no assets or bank accounts, and they aren't great at testifying. Also, we all know the truth: There are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners. We hold dog owners accountable for the actions of their pets because dog owners are responsible for their dog's. Often times, we find more serious issues when we dig into these cases, and often the dog is being mistreated. 
• Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists are vulnerable on the road, and some drivers intentionally drive more aggressively around bikers. If you were injured in a bicycle accident caused by another driver's negligence, you can often pursue the bodily injury coverage of the at fault driver, as well as your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. 
• Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrians have the right to safe passage. If you were injured in a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver, we advocate for your right to compensation.
• Medical Malpractice: From failure to diagnose stroke cases to birth injury cases, there are tragic things happening within our medical system every day. Doctors are not getting better, to say the least. Medical professionals have a duty to provide competent care. If you were injured due to a doctor's negligence, we fight for the compensation you deserve.
• Negligent Security: Businesses in Winter Park have a duty to take reasonable measures to protect their customers from foreseeable risks of crime on their premises. When companies fail to maintain adequate security, innocent patrons can suffer violent attacks and severe injuries. If you were the victim of assault, battery, robbery, rape, or another crime at a Winter Park business that lacked proper security, our experienced personal injury lawyers will hold the negligent property owner accountable and fight tenaciously to get you the justice and compensation you deserve.

How Can a Winter Park Personal Injury Lawyer at Our Office Help?

We don't do things exactly like everyone else. There are certain aspects about our law firm that we have intentionally designed to be different. First of all, we're not a high volume firm. We have a reputation for taking solid cases. In other words, we help people that are actually injured, and that's a reputation we want to uphold. 

You Don't Pay Us Unless We Recover Money for You

We are a contingency based law firm. This means that we don't get paid unless you get paid. However, we also don't base bonuses on monthly receivables because we don't want to incentivize our lawyers to settle out cases too quickly and for too little money. Our firm values maximum settlements, and sometimes that takes more time. Our Winter Park personal injury lawyers are thus incentivized to do the best job possible. 

We Don't Charge Interest on Case Costs 

The Florida Bar allows personal injury firms to charge 18% per year or 1.5% per month interest on case costs. Over the course of a case, this can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars, and this interest provision is buried in a lot of contingency fee agreements out there. We don't charge interest on case costs because we believe in moving cases quickly, and we shouldn't make money for letting a case sit idol. Our goal is to move as fast as possible, and we don't want to incentivize our lawyers to move slowly.

We Put You in Direct Communication with Your Lawyer

It should be a big red flag if you call a law firm, and they don't put you on the phone or schedule you with a lawyer. Lawyers are trained to evaluate cases. Legal staff members are trained to move cases down the pipeline. Customer service folks are trained to try and keep you happy. When you need to speak with a lawyer, you need to speak with a lawyer. 

If your case is a case we can take, you'll get your lawyer's direct phone number. That's an important part of our business. When you have questions, you can ask, and you don't have to go through 2 or 3 staff members to get to your lawyer. Thus, we believe we're way above the average when it comes to response time from our attorneys. 

We Will Take a Case to Trial

Insurance companies value cases based on objective and subjective factors. If they know you're willing to fight, and if they know you're going to punch them in the face for months or years, they will be more willing to pay a fair price than if you aren't. In other words, if you just bark and never bite, you're not going to get the same respect as if you were to tear into the other side every now and then. 

We're happy to take a case to trial. That's why we got in this business, and that's what we want to do. Often times, this is not the best option for our clients because it would put them at risk, or it wouldn't put them in a better position. Not every case will do well at trial, and not every plaintiff is going to present well to a jury. We have to be honest about that. However, at the end of the day, we can and will try a case, and the insurance companies know that. You can check our results to see what we've most recently achieved.

We Help Our Clients With Property Damage

People call our office every week to see if we can help with property damage, and many of them are being represented for their personal injury claim by another law firm that doesn't want to deal with it because there's no money in property damage claims after car accidents. The people just need a few words of advice and a little guidance; they don't even need representation. They just want a little help. However, again, there's no money in the property damage side of a personal injury case or car accident case. 

So, these people who have a law firm that won't help them at all with their property damage issues gave me an idea: What if we help guide our clients through these property damage issues at no added cost? It's a matter of answering a few questions and holding their hand. What we've found is that maybe we give some free hours away, but our clients get a little more money for their vehicle damage, and they really appreciate the help and guidance.
