Video: Personal Injury Pre-Suit Negotiation Process

Question:

What does a lawyer do to help me after I am injured?

Answer:

The first step a lawyer takes when you hire them to work your case is the "Pre-suit" phase. This starts things moving from the beginning of the case. This is from the time of your injury, up until negotiations and possible resolution of the case. On the pre-suit side of things, your attorney will handle all of the investigations, they can assist you with getting connected with doctors, getting medical treatment, and really just helping you navigate the uncertainty that surrounds the time period after you're injured. While all that is happening your lawyer will be building the case details in order to be able to make a demand to help you in your recovery. Under Florida law, the law says that you get medical bills, lost wages and then pain and suffering damages. Once you are fully recovered your lawyer will be able to make the demand that is appropriate to your damages sustained.

How long do I have to speak with an attorney about my personal injury case?
