Who Will pay for My Lost Wages and Medical Bills?

This varies from case to case. If you are in a motor vehicle accident, your private medical insurance or the PIP (personal injury protection) coverage on the vehicle in which you were in at the time of the accident will either pay your medical bills, and perhaps wage loss to some extent up front, or before settlement of your entire claim. If you do not have medical insurance or PIP, either personally or through work, the insurance covering the vehicle that you were in at the time of the injury will cover the payment of your medical bills and wage loss. Any other money owed will be paid out of your final recovery when your case is settled.

How Long do I Have to Pursue My Case?

There are statutes of limitations that govern in the state of Florida to determine how much time the injured victim or his estate has to file a lawsuit. If you do not file a lawsuit in time, the statute of limitations may prevent any recovery or settlement of your potential claim. These statutes of limitations vary depending on what type of case you may have. You should consult the Miami personal injury lawyers at Friedland | Carmona immediately to determine by when your case must be filed or settled. Otherwise, if you do not protect your claim against these varying time requirements, you may be prevented from bringing forth your lawsuit.

Should I Handle My own Case?

Many people naturally prefer not to hire an attorney unless one is really necessary. While this is a commendable stance to take, it is not always in your best interest. Insurance companies are not looking out for your best interest. They are big corporations with a lot of resources who are concerned with paying you as little as possible in order to maximize their profits. The Miami personal injury lawyers at Friedland | Carmona can help you evaluate whether you are being treated fairly. A good personal injury lawyer will assist to maximize the amount of your recovery. Hiring an attorney who has the skill, knowledge, and experience, both in trials and settlements, will help you protect your interests and insure the recovery which you deserve.
