Frequently Asked Injury Law Questions
How Do I Know if I Have a Personal Injury Case?
Each case is different and there several different considerations that
need to go into each potential claim. These include the sum of your medical
bills resulting from the injury, whether it was clear if the other party
was at fault for the accident, and other factors. Our Panama City injury
lawyers can help you navigate these questions and discuss with you the
viability of your case.
How Long Do Personal Injury Cases Take?
Generally speaking, personal injury cases last anywhere from six to eighteen
months. Most people need to see their doctor and receive treatment for
some period of time before the doctor can say with any degree of certainty
how the injury has affected them already and how it will affect them in
the near future. The attorney typically cannot work on resolving the case
with the at-fault party until the treatment is completed and a clear picture
of the client’s injuries are present.
If it Takes So Long, Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Now?
Because the insurance companies have attorneys and claims adjusters working
for them from the day you were injured. Unfortunately, the insurance company
wants to see you make as many mistakes as possible because this decreases
the value of your claim. If you give a taped statement without knowing
what the insurance adjuster is really trying to do, you may be unaware
that your words can decrease the value of your case.
How Much is My Case Worth?
This question depends on several factors. First, what is your injury?
How much are your medical bills? How much are your lost wages? How has
the accident affected your daily life, your job, your family? How clear
is the liability? Does the other driver have adequate insurance coverage?
Do you have adequate insurance coverage?
Why is Insurance So Important in a Case?
Because we want you to understand how much is really at stake. Insurance
companies are in business to make money. Their goal is to settle your
case with you for the least amount possible. They train their adjusters
to do what they can to minimize your case value because it is in their
best interest. We will do what we can to protect you because we work for
you and your best interest.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
According to Florida Statutes section 95.11(3)(a), you have four years
to file a personal injury claim before the statute of limitations ends.
If the statute of limitations ends before you file a claim you will lose
your right to do so. There are some exceptions that can change this four-year
time period so it’s important to speak to an attorney about your
case as soon as possible.
