How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help?

At Friedland & Associates, our personal injury lawyers can help you recover compensation by filing a claim or a personal injury lawsuit, depending on the circumstances of the case, whether insurance coverage is involved, and what the policy limits are.

In cases involving motor vehicles, if you suffered a serious injury, you can rely on your personal injury protection coverage to cover a portion of the cost of your medical bills and lost wages. You can pursue additional compensation from the negligent party or their insurer if you suffered a serious injury, by filing a personal injury lawsuit.

Other ways our personal injury lawyers can help include:

Investigating the Accident

Our legal team can visit the scene of the accident to take photos and gather evidence.

Other types of evidence we will obtain can include:

• Police report/accident report
• Photos of your injuries, property damage, and the accident scene
• Video footage
• Pay stubs
• Employment records
• Phone records
• Medical bills
• Medical records
• Black box data
• Expert testimony
• Witness statements

And more.

We will use the evidence we have gathered to build a strong case against the negligent party to help you recover maximum compensation for your losses.

Work with Experts

At Friedland & Associates, we may consult with experts to help prove liability, determine how an accident occurred, and accurately value your case for damages. Some of the experts we may consult with include:

• Accident reconstructionists
• Life care planners
• Economists
• Private investigators
• Forensic accountants
• Medical professionals
• Occupational therapists
• Physical therapists

And more.

Negotiating with the Insurance Company or Defense Attorney

Most personal injury cases are settled out of court. Whether you’re dealing with an insurance company or a defense attorney, we will work tirelessly to negotiate with the other party to ensure you recover a fair settlement for your accident-related damages. If the claims adjuster or defense attorney refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, we will be prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.

Filing a Lawsuit

We will prepare your case for trial and present it in front of a judge and jury. During this time, we will continue to negotiate with the other party. In most cases, insurance companies are more willing to negotiate once a lawsuit has been filed.

What Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

At Friedland & Associates, our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs and if you don’t win your case, you pay nothing. If your case is successful, an attorney will subtract a small percentage of your settlement or award to cover the cost of legal services.

This type of payment arrangement makes it possible for accident victims to obtain quality legal representation as soon as possible.

What If I’m Partially At Fault for the Accident?

In Florida, you will be unable to recover compensation for your accident-related costs if you are 51% or more responsible for the incident. If you were up to 50% responsible, you can still pursue damages, however, your award or settlement will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
