Need A Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Lawyer? Here’s How We Help
You’ve suffered an accident in Fort Lauderdale (or another city in Florida). Maybe a car crash. Maybe you slipped and fell in a hotel, restaurant, airport, etc. as a direct result of negligence by another party. You have a potential claim against this other party. But, you have to handle it just the right way or you won’t be properly compensated for your related medical expenses, pain and suffering, disability, lost income, etc. That’s where Injured Visiting Florida can help, we’ll…
Review Your Case and Identify At-Fault Parties
In many cases, there isn’t just a single person at fault for your accident. For example, if you were hit by a ride share driver, it’s not just that ride share driver at fault. The ride share company (Uber, Lyft, etc.) shares the responsibility (and, truth be told, will have better insurance). Similarly, if you slipped and hurt yourself on a negligently wet floor at an airport, it’s not just the facility that is at fault. The independent janitorial maintenance company that caused the hazard is also responsible. We’ll use our experience and investigative skills to determine the identities of the various parties.Notify The Potential Defendant
Whether an individual, Florida-based company or national brand, we’ll reach out to the defendant and let them know about your potential lawsuit against them. We’ll also find out who their insurance company and legal counsel is.Negotiate
Let’s be clear about two things. One, don’t reach out to or negotiate with the defendant or its representatives directly without knowing the full extent of your injuries and damages. Two, if those representatives contact you, you don’t have to talk to them and can simply say “you need to talk to my lawyer.” The possible defendant is working against you and for their bottom line. Therefore, this conversation with them could negatively impact your case, such as accepting an offer that’s too low and won’t effectively cover your expenses from the accident or by making a statement that could be used against you later. This is why you have us. Let us handle it for you.File The Lawsuit & Try Your Case
You’ll need a Florida-licensed law firm, which we are, to file the suit. That said, a lot of firms don’t have trial experience and are pre-disposed to settling instead of going to court. There are also a lot of firms that only want to take what they deem to be “big” cases to court, feeling a so-called “smaller” case isn’t worth their time. We don’t judge our cases that way. You were hurt. It was their fault. You need compensation. We’ll work hard to get you the money to which you are entitled.
