Question:

How do I start a personal injury claim?

Answer:

I’ve been asked about what steps there are involved in a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. It’s important, first of all, that a person who’s injured in an accident gets medical treatment. The next thing to do is begin to protect legal rights by retaining an experienced trial attorney who can prosecute the case. Along the case, the person will be getting medical treatment, and the attorney will be investigating the claim, gathering medical records, and then ultimately engaging in a dialogue with the insurance companies to negotiate with the claim. If those efforts are unsuccessful, then an experienced trial attorney won’t hesitate to file a lawsuit and take the case all the way to a jury trial if necessary.
