Video: The Details Other Law Firms May Miss

Question:

Is it important to hire an investigator after my accident?

Answer:

Yes, evidence tends to disappear or dissipate, so you want to make sure that it's gathered as soon as possible after an incident to make sure it's preserved. Sometimes there is an argument about who is at fault for a car accident or a crash or a slip and fall, or a trip and fall. So those things need to be thoroughly investigated. That's why here at Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A. we take this very seriously. We hire an investigator immediately to start looking into those liability issues so you do not have to. Make sure to consult a personal injury attorney who is willing to abide by this best practice. You'll want to hire an attorney who specializes in personal injury to review your specific situation. The reason is sometimes insurance coverage is overlooked and a recovery that could be made isn't without a lawyer reviewing the case.

Question:

What if my lawyer isn't doing a good job on my accident case?

Answer:

You have every right to consult with another attorney about your case. Issues that we see when we take cases over from other law firms that have arisen is usually in their investigation of the cases. The shortcomings that we see involve the investigation of the available insurance coverages or investigation of liability issues. Sometimes accident cases get complicated when there's multiple parties involved and potential defendants. So, it requires a very experienced eye to be able to parse out those coverage issues in those types of situations. Under Florida law, the law says that you get medical bills, lost wages and then pain and suffering damages. Any sort of injury that's going to limit your enjoyment of your life in any way is a significant enough injury to pursue compensation.

Ideally, you want an attorney who will be able to litigate and try your case if necessary. You need an attorney who understands personal injury, the system and is able to potentially try your case if needed. Many do not realize the importance of it, but make sure someone is representing you and your interests throughout this process because insurance companies do not do that.
