Orlando Car Accident Lawyer Exceeds Expectations

Why do people continue to choose inexperienced Orlando car accident lawyers? Why not choose a car accident specialist? It seems so simple, but unfortunately so many misleading TV commercials and Yellow Page advertising makes choosing a competent lawyer difficult. We have been blessed to represent so many injured in Orlando car accidents that we have written the Florida Accident Book to spell out the steps to choosing the right lawyer.

Why would someone allow a lawyer who has not tried a case in years to handle their important case? Why would any one allow a lawyer to "sit" on their case for two years after the car accident without filing a lawsuit on their behalf? We find that most people who go to a lawyer never really "check out" the lawyer before hiring him.

When we meet with prospective clients who were neglected by their lawyer, we always check to see whether the lawyer is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law, which includes car accident cases. Generally, we find the lawyer is not certified by The Florida Bar as a specialist. In addition, we find the lawyer has little if any real trial experience.

How sad for lawyers to market themselves as Orlando car accident lawyers when they spend most of their time handling workers compensation or real estate law. Of course, we do not fault those people coming to us for assistance. We believe the fault lies with those lawyers who advertise for cases and accept car accident cases when they should refer those clients to much better qualified lawyers.

Winning Orlando Car Accident Cases

As Orlando car accident lawyers we have seen too many people suffer AFTER a car accident because the lawyer they hired did not properly represent their interests. In one case, our client lost more than two years patiently waiting for his prior lawyers to file a lawsuit on his behalf. Sadly, he hired lawyers who simply believe once the client signs the contract, you just “talk” to the insurance company and wait to see if they offer any money.

The truth is insurance companies know which lawyers try cases and which do not. Many Orlando lawyers who accept car and truck accident cases are NOT specialists. Only two percent of The Florida Bar is Board Certified as specialists in civil trial law, which includes car and truck accidents. As past Chair of The Florida Bar Civil Trial Certification Committee, anyone with a serious Orlando car accident case deserves an exceptionally qualified lawyer.

Unfortunately, too many people involved in Orlando car accidents turn to television or yellow page advertising when they need a lawyer. Yet, slick lawyer ads can be misleading. That is why I wrote the book, Seeking Justice: An Insider’s Guide for the Injured. While we limit the number of cases we accept, we can provide a free copy of this valuable book to anyone injured in car accidents. It provides a solid method for choosing the right lawyer; and, includes the questions everyone should ask before hiring a lawyer. Decent, honest people seeking to win their car accident case deserve a lawyer that is prepared to Go to War!
