HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A
Personal Injury Case?
DETERMINING LIABILITY AND DAMAGES TO ESTABLISH YOUR CASE
Whether the injuries you suffered were caused by a negligent medical professional, hazardous work condition, or careless driver, you may be able to hold the negligent party responsible. To successfully recover maximum compensation, you will have to prove that another party was negligent, or reckless, in their actions. To establish negligence, you must collect as much evidence about the accident as possible and effectively present your case.
When people suffer an injury as a result of someone else’s actions, they are entitled to compensation. There are two major factors that must be proven a personal injury claim: 1. Liability and 2. Damages. Most personal injury cases are in the realm of negligence.
The legal elements of a negligence claim are:
- Duty – Individual A owed individual B a duty of care
- Breach – Individual A failed to uphold this duty
- Causation – Individual A’s breach caused individual B an injury
- Damages – The injury suffered by individual B was a foreseeable consequence of individual A’s action
When all four criteria are met, an individual has proven that negligence occurred. When negligence is proven, the individual may be entitled to financial compensation from the individual or entity that committed the negligent action in question.
Our Clearwater personal injury lawyers can help you decide on the right course of action, whether pursuing a personal injury claim in or out of court. We know how to craft a winning claim. We will pursue the best possible outcome for you.

What To Expect From Our Firm
FREE CASE EVALUATION
We take the time needed to fully understand and evaluate your case. Our goal is to give you all the information we can to help you make the best decision for you and your family, not to give you empty promises or make you sign a contract.
MEET YOUR ATTORNEY
When you sign with us, an experienced attorney is assigned to your case from the very beginning. We’ll determine the full extent of your injury, and contact the insurance company or the other party’s lawyer to get the process moving.
INVESTIGATE & NEGOTIATE
After a thorough investigation, our attorneys will negotiate for you to secure an agreeable insurance payout or settlement. We’ll always keep you informed of the offers. If you’re satisfied with the amount, then your case is settled.
GO TO COURT
If the settlement offer is unfair or the insurance company is trying to "low-ball" you, we will take them to court by filing a lawsuit on your behalf. Our aggressive litigators have the experience and expertise needed to build a strong case.
HOW CAN A PERSONAL INJURY
Lawyer Help?
Personal injury cases can be very detailed and complicated, which makes it difficult for people to handle these cases on their own without assistance from a legal representative. If you have suffered a serious injury because of someone else’s negligent actions, you need to take legal action to pursue financial compensation. Additionally, although you can file a lawsuit on your own, you need an attorney to help you with every part of your case.
Many people believe they only need an attorney if their case goes to court. This is not true. In fact, a personal injury attorney in Clearwater can help you through every step of your claim, which can benefit you in the following ways:
- » Ensure that you file your claim before the statute of limitations expires
- » Make sure you file all documents on time
- » Fight for the appropriate amount of compensation you need
- » Save you time by working on your case while you focus on recovery
A dedicated Clearwater personal injury lawyer can stand up for your rights following an accident, allowing you to fight for the financial compensation you deserve.
WHAT ARE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IN CLEARWATER?
The amount of time you have to file your Clearwater personal injury claim depends on the statute of limitations of state you live in as well as the type of lawsuit you pursue. In the state of Florida, the statute of limitations gives the following restrictions for how long a person has to file a claim:
- » Personal injury cases – within four years of the accident
- » Wrongful death – within two years of your loved one’s death
- » Defective products – within four years of the date of the injury
- » Medical malpractice – within two years of the action that caused the injury or when the injury was discovered
WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY?
While most people seem to know to call a lawyer before they speak to law enforcement, many forget that they also need to call a lawyer before speaking to an insurance adjuster or providing a recorded statement.
Many victims in a personal injury incident in Clearwater have already given a recorded statement to an insurance company before hiring an attorney. They thought they were required to provide this statement immediately. Many adjusters call and coerce victims into providing a recorded statement, which they only plan to use against them later in the case. Recorded statements are just one of many ways adjusters take advantage of these victims who do not know any better. They believe that they are just telling their side of the story and months later are surprised when these statements are used against them.
