Choosing well-qualified, caring doctors quickly is important for your health and for your car accident claims. The sad truth is many doctors refuse to see car accident victims, especially those without insurance. Many doctors also work for auto insurance companies, making thousands of dollars examining car accident victims and "discounting" the injuries suffered. If you innocently choose one of these “insurance or defense” doctors, you will have little opportunity to receive full and fair compensation for your injury. As a medical doctor and lawyer, Dr. Walter Ward knows which doctors genuinely care to help car accident victims. Do not run the risk of going to the wrong place for your medical care.

You should also know that those “car accident & injury clinics” like the TV lawyer advertisers need lots of "clients" to pay for all that advertising. Do you want to go where the focus is on profit or patient care? You should NOT be treated like a number by your doctor or your lawyer. You deserve the best medical care and the best legal representation. While we can not represent everyone that asks us, our goal is to make a huge difference for those who we do represent. Our results, including a $30 million verdict here in Orlando, demonstrate that hiring the right lawyer, right from the start, may help you reach your goal to win the highest award you deserve.

For those of you who didn’t realize it, texting while driving is not allowed in all fifty states. While Orlando drivers can text and drive anywhere in Florida, most folks would understand the risks involved. As Orlando car accident attorneys, we carefully consider the use of cell phones and texting in all our car accident cases. Many jurors would consider it careless for drivers to allow themselves to be distracted by reading or sending a text message. It makes sense, texting and driving is dangerous, indeed any task which takes your attention away from the road while driving is potentially dangerous.

According to the Insurance Information Institute motor related accidents are the leading cause of death amongst 15-20 year olds. It has been found that drivers under the age of 25 have a section of the brain which is still developing when it comes to measuring risk taking. Therefore recognizing potential hazards and acting accordingly is sometimes not physically possible, which is why graduated licensing is recommended for young drivers. Now, if you factor in the added distractions of texting, friends in the car and so on and so forth, your average teenager is at much greater risk than an adult for being directly responsible for an accident. California bans drivers under 18 from using cell phones, which is a sensible move. It doesn’t matter how good of a driver you think you are or how good you think you are at multi-tasking, driving with the cell puts you at a greater risk of having an accident.
