Thorough Evaluation and Presentation of Your Claim in Florida
When you have been injured through the fault of someone else and are facing mounting medical bills and other expenses, it is normal to want your personal injury claim resolved as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the full extent of your injuries may not be known soon after your accident and thus attempting to resolve your claim quickly with the insurance company without the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney can be very dangerous. I will take the time to examine and evaluate your claim to make certain that it is in the best possible posture before presenting it for potential settlement with the insurance company or responsible party.
At the law office of D. Michael Elkins, P.A. in Brandon, Florida, I have over 20 years of experience working in personal injury law. As your experienced personal injury attorney I will work hard to obtain the compensation you deserve. Call 813-699-4896 or contact me online to schedule a free initial consultation.
What Filing a Lawsuit Can Mean for You
When an insurance company refuses to settle your case promptly, your only choice will be to file a lawsuit against the responsible parties and seek damages from a jury. This may seem to be a frightening prospect and for this reason you will need the services of an experienced personal injury attorney at your side.
Should we need to file a lawsuit to seek to recover damages for your auto accident or premises liability accident, you will be required to so several things such as:
Go through the discovery process, which involves answering questions under oath and providing documentation and information regarding your claim. I will guide you through this difficult and time-consuming process.
Provide testimony through a deposition for the defense. I will help you to anticipate the types of questions that you will be asked and will assist you in preparing for your testimony. When the time comes to provide your testimony I will be there at your side to protect your interests.
Attend an "independent" examination by a doctor chosen by the defense. I will advise you as to what to expect during this examination by a doctor who was not chosen by you, but instead was hired by the defense or their insurance company.
