Building Your Case After a Florida Car Crash
Car accidents happen in an instant. It doesn't matter how defensively you drive or how mindful you are of your surroundings. There are some situations that cannot be avoided. If you were injured in a car accident that was caused by another driver's careless or negligent actions, it is important to hold that person accountable.
When you are filing a lawsuit or thinking about filing a lawsuit, you need to hire a Jacksonville car accident attorney who can help you receive the money you deserve. Your lawyer is the person who can make or break your case — the person who will be most influential in determining whether your medical bills are paid, if your car repairs are paid for by the negligent party and how much of your lost wages you will be awarded.
With so much at stake, it is important to hire someone who can competently handle your case. There is no substitute for experience, so you should hire a lawyer who has handled thousands of personal injury cases. The Griggs Firm, P.A., is the obvious choice.
First Step: Hire an Experienced Duval County Head & Neck Attorney Lawyer
Attorney Stuart Griggs spent four years working for insurance companies and employers. He knows the mistakes people make that cost them their claims, and he knows what information needs to be included in his case to make it as strong as possible.
Make sure you do not give any statements to the insurance companies. To put things simply, the insurance companies are not working with your best interests in mind. Do not give them a recorded statement until you have talked with an experienced attorney. We can help make sure you give them the information they need.
Document your medical issues. Whether you are suffering from soft tissue injuries such as whiplash or broken bones, make sure you receive the medical treatment you need. Do not allow weeks or months to go by without checking up with your healthcare provider, and make sure you follow the doctor's orders.
Identify the witnesses. Although it is not always possible to name everyone on the scene of the accident, when it is possible, get names and contact information for as many people as possible from the accident scene. Even if the police talked to people, they may not be included in the police report. Their information can help prove your case.
Do not let a careless driver cost you thousands of dollars. We can help you get the compensation you need. Contact us online or call 904-425-1909 to schedule your free initial consultation after a car or other motor vehicle accident.
