Question:

What happens after I hire a personal injury attorney?

Answer:

At Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A. we start with our pre-suit division with your case.  What that entails is meeting with you as the client and guiding you through the entire process. If you need help with finding a doctor will assist with that. If you need help with a property damage claim, we assist with that (not all law firms offer this service). If we need to hire an expert or do any investigation, we also do that. We do this right away so that all of those pieces are in place to maximize the value of your case. Then, we try to get your case resolved by sending demand letters to the insurance companies involved, and unfortunately, sometimes insurance companies don't always treat people fairly even though we've documented everything. After giving them all of the information and they still do not offer a fair settlement then your case would be sent to our litigation department to file a lawsuit. This is why it is so very crucial that you consult a personal injury attorney sooner than later, you'll want to hire an experienced attorney who specializes in personal injury to review your specific situation as this process does take some time and in most situations the Florida statute of limitations is only two years.

Question:

Does anyone actually get to talk to the lawyers on the billboards or TV?

Answer:

Here at Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A. you get to talk to an attorney right away, and that's an important thing to know. Understand when you're hiring a personal injury attorney, you should be able to talk to your attorney at any time that you need to speak with them. This business practice is not the norm, but it is here at Goldstein Buckley. You get to speak with either of the co-managing partners you see on TV and billboards Christopher & Andrea Smith who run the pre-suit offices. During the the lawsuit process, if your case can't settled by negotiating with the insurance company, it goes to one of our trial attorneys. Your trial attorney will go through the litigation process with you to make sure you are comfortable, and we'll give the defense all the information they need to maximize the value of your case. We meet with the clients every step of the way so they know what's going on in their case. Some attorneys really don't meet with their clients and don't walk them through the process. So, if you would like to be involved with a experienced personal injury firm that'll be with you from day one we are just a call at 239-500-4878 or a CLICK away to help you with an attorney consultation.
