While they may seem friendly and concerned about your well-being, it is essential to remember that they are not working for your best interests.

Although they are not on your side, you should be courteous in your conversations with them. Remember that you are in charge of the conversation. At any point, you can politely tell them that you would like to stop the interview and consult with your lawyer before continuing.

Every accident has the potential to cause significant disruption and distress for you and your family. On top of the pain, emotional suffering, and physical challenges caused by an injury, you may find yourself in a financial crisis due to lost wages and high medical bills. Personal injury claims allow victims to seek fair compensation from those responsible for these losses. The types of damages personal injury lawyers may secure for victims include:
As a personal injury victim, you do not want to lose your opportunity to recover compensation for the losses caused by your accident. Therefore, it's critical to be aware of Florida's statute of limitations for claims. Most personal injury claims, including those involving car crashes, slip and falls, and pedestrian accidents, must be filed within four years of the date of the accident. However, wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the individual's passing. Some exceptional circumstances may toll the claim and increase the time allowed for filing, but these cases are rare. It is generally in your best interests to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident to begin the legal process and ensure that you meet all deadlines for filing. If you are wondering whether your claim is still within the statute of limitations, our lawyers are happy to provide a free consultation and answer your questions.

If you've been injured in any kind of accident caused by the negligence of others, a personal injury lawyer can act as your legal representative. Your personal injury lawyer will investigate your case and pursue compensation from those who caused your injuries while serving as a buffer between you and anyone who might interrupt your healing or cause you undue stress. Tasks your personal injury lawyer may do include:
A: Yes. We recommend always getting a medical evaluation after any accident, even if you feel unhurt. A doctor's evaluation not only gives you peace of mind for your health but also provides a medical record of any damage you sustained in the accident, which can be vital to your claim. Some injuries, such as damage to the back and neck, can worsen over time as tissues swell. If you do not seek prompt medical treatment, the insurance company may attempt to argue that your injuries were not as bad as you claim or were unrelated to the accident.
A: Florida is a pure comparative negligence state, which means that anyone involved in an accident can seek compensation for their damages if they were not 100% at fault for the incident. However, an individual's settlement will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to them. Having a lawyer on your side who can investigate the case and clearly prove who was at fault for the accident is crucial because it directly impacts the value of your compensation.
A: In a legal sense, catastrophic injuries are severe injuries that leave a victim with damage that is likely to be permanent and cause an inability to perform gainful work. Usually, these injuries involve losing a bodily function or a body part. Examples include paralysis, blindness, widespread burns, amputation, and brain damage. Because these injuries require life-long care and treatment, getting full compensation that will provide for the victim's future is critical.
A: Every case is unique, so, unfortunately, it is impossible to give an estimate without knowing the specifics. Cases may take anywhere from a few weeks to over a year. However, most claims can be negotiated without the need for a trial, which significantly shortens the timeline. In general, cases involving severe injuries, multiple at-fault parties, and high settlement amounts take longer to bring to a conclusion. At Kurzman Law Group, P.A., we frequently communicate with our clients to keep them up to date on the status of their claim.
A: Attorney-client privilege refers to the privilege that allows attorneys and clients, including prospective clients, to keep their discussions confidential. In other words, your lawyer generally cannot be forced to divulge any information you've told them to a court. This allows clients to speak freely with their lawyers without fear of repercussions for their honest statements.
A: The stress of looming medical expenses can make victims feel as if they must accept the first settlement offer they receive from the insurance carrier. However, this can lead to problems later if you realize you have losses not covered by the compensation because you can no longer seek further damages after you've agreed to a settlement. The knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at Kurzman Law Group, P.A. can discuss options, such as medical liens, for handling your bills until you have the opportunity to recover the maximum settlement you deserve.
A: Most people seek the representation of a personal injury attorney because their accident injuries have caused them financial hardship. For this reason, many law firms, including Kurzman Law Group, P.A., provide free initial consultations to clients so they can understand their legal rights and options. We also take cases on a contingency basis, meaning you don't owe fees unless we secure a settlement. This makes quality legal services available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
A: While legal information is widely available from the internet, books, and even well-meaning friends, only a licensed lawyer is qualified to provide legal advice regarding your case. Legal advice will be tailored to your situation and must be accurate and up to date with changes in state laws.
