Smart Moves After An Orlando Car Accident
Photograph the cars involved in the accident, get the names of any witnesses and get yourself checked out by a competent medical doctor. As Orlando car accident lawyers we have seen too many people suffer AFTER a car accident because they failed to take these steps. Even worse is the situation where someone follows these steps, has an injury, but hires a lawyer who failed to 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!
