If you are injured in an accident or fall in Broward, Dade and/or Palm Beach Counties, you should immediately call 911, report the accident and request an ambulance. It is very important that you seek medical care right away, and request a copy of the police report and your medical records to build a solid claim against the person or entity that caused your injuries.
Often, the person who caused the accident will ask you not to call the police and ask you to just handle it ‘between the two of you’. This is a terrible idea! There is a very good chance when you call that person they will never answer the phone or deny responsibility! It’s best to have the police come to the scene, investigate the accident and record all proof of insurance for all parties involved in the accident.
If you are a victim of a fall or vehicle accident you need a lawyer because insurance companies are not on your side. They are for-profit businesses primarily concerned with making money by collecting premiums, not paying personal injury claims. Studies have shown that injured claimants represented by attorneys net far more money than claimants who attempt to represent themselves. Jarrett Blakeley has successfully handled thousands of claims while this is probably your first. Always hire a legal professional for help in this serious, life-changing matter.
A personal injury claim may be based on any physical or mental injury you have suffered because of the negligence of another person and/or corporation. Common personal injury cases arise from car accident claims, slip and falls, truck accident claims, boat accident claims, pedestrian accident claims and bicycle accident claims.
Personal injury cases can be large or small. A broken finger or a bulging disc in your neck is obviously not as big as a case involving a broken leg, a herniated disc in your neck or a case involving paralysis. However, you may have the legal right to request compensation from the responsible party to help cover your losses. Talk to a skilled personal injury lawyer at Blakeley Law Firm to learn more.
Yes. Call the police. You need them to investigate your accident and you need a police report. You can have a personal injury car accident case without an accident report, but it is often much harder to prove how the accident happened and even obtain the Defendant’s insurance information without one. Ask the police officer to make a report and get the report number.
No, you should call a personal injury attorney to communicate with the adverse party’s insurance company. We can set up the claim for you. It is in your best interest to speak with an attorney before you make contact with the Defendant’s insurance company, or any insurance company for that matter. And never accept a settlement offer without consulting an experienced injury lawyer first.
Immediately. An attorney will guide you in obtaining evidence immediately after your accident, give you legal advice and communicate with the insurance companies for you.
