How I Build a Strong Injury Claim

From the first call, I begin building your case for maximum compensation. My approach is thorough, local, and strategic:

Immediate investigation: I collect crash reports, scene photos, video, witness statements, vehicle damage information, and available vehicle data before it disappears.
Medical documentation: I coordinate with you so you advocate your needs with your doctors and therapists so they understand your harms, losses, diagnosis, prognosis, restrictions, and future care needs.
Liability analysis: I determine

by examining driver conduct, company policies, maintenance records, road conditions, and more.
Damage modeling: I calculate medical costs (past and future), lost income, diminished earning capacity, and necessary life-care plans.
Non-economic losses: I document pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life to fully value your claim.
Negotiation and litigation: I negotiate from a position of strength, and I’m ready for trial if the insurer won’t be fair.

Every case is unique, but the law allows recovery for economic and non-economic harms. Depending on your facts, we may pursue:

Emergency care, surgeries, hospitalizations, rehab, and future medical treatment
Prescription costs, medical equipment, and necessary home or vehicle modifications
Lost wages, loss of benefits, and reduced future earning capacity
Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon should I call a lawyer after an accident?

As soon as you can. Evidence disappears quickly, and insurers start building a defense immediately. Early legal counsel helps preserve proof and prevents costly mistakes.

Do I have a case if I’m partly at fault?

Possibly. Florida law may still allow recovery even if you share some responsibility. The best step is a case evaluation based on your specific facts.

Will my case settle or go to trial?

Most cases settle with strong preparation. I build every claim as if it will be tried, which often leads to better settlement offers. If the insurer won’t be fair, then I’m ready to litigate and take your case to trial.

How long will my case take?

Timelines vary based on injuries, treatment,

liability

disputes, and insurer cooperation. I move efficiently while making sure your medical picture is complete so we don’t settle too soon.
