Most people have several questions when facing legal issues. I am pleased to help you find the answers.
Florida Personal Injury Lawyer
How can I help?
Whether you have been injured in a car accident or you have fallen and hurt yourself at a local supermarket, I will help you pursue a claim against the at fault party. From defective products to assaults by security guards you have a legal right to pursue justice and compensation for your injuries.
Timing is VERY Important!
If you or a family member have been injured it is very important to speak to an attorney right away. While many people are hesitant to pursue a claim or don't want to be perceived as greedy or aggressive the truth is your rights and your ability to recover could be diminishing due to your delay. The key to any legal matter is "EVIDENCE" and it can have a way of disappearing and being repaired or modified following an accident.
My motto is that it is better to have the evidence and not need it then need it and not have it.
I will help collect and preserve the evidence you need to recover if you wish to pursue a claim.

Important Steps after Any Accident
Contact A Lawyer
You may not have a valid claim and you may not feel like pursuing a claim at the time, but I would still be pleased to speak with you and at least let you know the options. I have spoken to far too many people weeks, months or years after an accident when they finally decided to pursue a claim but due to the delay their case became significantly diminished or impossible to pursue.
TAKE PHOTOS
If possible take as many photos of the accident scene as possible. In addition, take photos of your injury. Keeping a photo diary of your injury and recovery can be very helpful to your claim.
Witnesses
If there are witnesses politely ask them for their name and phone number. They may be hesitant to cooperate but let them know it is just as a precaution
Seek Medical Attention
I generally see two types of reactions to an injury accident. The first is when someone has a broken bone, an open wound or hits their head and loses consciousness. In these cases an ambulance is usually called so medical help comes to the victim. The second scenario is when a victim has an accident but due to the shock and embarrassment they want to leave the area as quickly as possible. In these cases the person goes home and simply wants the incident to pass. Unfortunately, once the emotions and shock wear off, the pain arrives. Sometime it is hours later or the next morning. It is important to seek medical help as soon after your accident as possible because you cannot always determine the extent of your injury without a proper medical evaluation.
