Video: Were You Told You Don’t Have a Case

Question:

I was told I don't have an injury case, what should I do?

Answer:

If another law firm has turned down your case, you may still have options. Seek a second opinion from a personal injury attorney; they usually provide free consultations. We get calls every week from people who have been told that another law firm declined to take their case, or turn their case back during the pendency process of the case. The issues that we usually see where other firms are turning the case back to people typically involves cases where there's a disagreement about who is at fault for an accident: which is called comparative fault. The lawyers of Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A. ensure that if we take the case on, that we strive to make that case the best case it can be for a client. So, first and foremost what we do is start a thorough investigation, making sure that we have all the evidence that's going to help move our client's case forward. For example, we had a case that was turned back to a client because of the disagreement about who was at fault, and we were able to successfully pursue that case for the client with a large recovery because another firm declined the case and didn't perform a proper investigation.

Question:

Does the law firm's name or its history play a part in how your personal injury case turns out?

Answer:

Absolutely. Insurance companies know what law firms are willing and able to take cases to trial and litigate the case. Ideally, you want an attorney who will be able to litigate and try your case if necessary right from the very beginning. 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.
