  • What Should I Look for in a Miami Personal Injury Lawyer?

    The truth is that although there are many personal injury lawyers in Miami, not every attorney you come across can handle your case. For this reason, it is important to consider specific factors when looking for the right attorney to fight for you. We have covered the most important factors below.

    Experience

    An experienced personal injury lawyer in Miami knows how to navigate your specific case. This is because chances are they have handled similar cases before. On the other hand, an inexperienced attorney will not know how to tackle your case, especially if it is complex. This could be the difference between recovering the compensation you are entitled to or nothing.

    Resources

    A Miami personal injury lawyer with powerful resources can build a strong case to support your claim. To put things into perspective, let's briefly discuss how a lack of powerful resources could negatively impact your case.

    When an attorney does not have the resources to investigate a case, they will likely assemble a weak case against the other party. As a result, depending on the circumstances of the injury, you may recover less than what you deserve or nothing at all. But when the Miami personal injury lawyer has powerful resources to fight for you, they will create the kind of case that limits the other party's chances of challenging the settlement you are entitled to. As a result, you will likely receive the compensation you need and deserve.

    Results

    Results prove just how good a personal injury lawyer is. When looking for the right attorney to represent you, consider how many cases they have won and the amount of compensation they have been able to help their clients recover. Here is a pro tip: the higher the compensation the attorney or law firm has recovered, the more likely they will be able to help maximize your claim.

    For instance, at Morgan and Morgan, we have helped our clients recover more than $20 billion for various injuries. And because we are used to handling huge cases and settlements, our attorneys are never excited by just any offer. Instead, they only settle for what you truly deserve.

    Reputation

    An attorney's or law firm's reputation says everything you need to know about what to expect when you hire them. That is why it is always advisable to read their reviews beforehand. For instance, Morgan and Morgan has over 28,000 5-star reviews on Google. Our Miami office alone has over 900 reviews.

  • How Can a Miami Personal Injury Lawyer Help?

    A Miami personal injury lawyer can help fight for you, ensuring you receive the compensation you need and deserve after sustaining injuries caused by someone else's negligence. The attorney can also help fight for your right to compensation when your insurance company declines to process a valid claim. The exact way such an attorney can help depends on the unique circumstances of your case.

    However, in general, a seasoned personal injury lawyer in Miami can:

    Review your case to determine whether it is valid. This step forms the basis for pursuing the compensation you may be entitled to.

    Analyze existing evidence and determine whether it is strong enough to prove your case. If the evidence is insufficient or even non-existent, but the case is valid, the attorney can help gather everything you need to prove liability.

    Next, the personal injury lawyer in Miami will identify the liable parties. Depending on the unique circumstances of your case, more than one party might be responsible for your injuries. For instance, suppose you were in a car accident, and the airbags failed to deploy. In that case, you may be able to recover compensation from your own auto insurance provider or the other party. In addition, the attorney could help file a defective product claim against the airbag manufacturer if investigations show that the airbag was defective.

    Such an attorney can also help assess your damages and maximize your claim. Depending on the nature of your case, you may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages. And if the case goes to court and the judge or jury rules that the defendant was extremely negligent, you may be awarded punitive damages.

    The attorney will represent you throughout the settlement negotiation process, usually out of court. But suppose the other party refuses to settle. In that case, a skilled personal injury lawyer in Miami can file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court against the other party.

  • Can I File a Claim Without a Miami Personal Injury Lawyer?

    You do not necessarily need a personal injury lawyer in Miami to file a claim. Just as long as you have a valid case, you should be able to file. However, it is one thing to file a claim and a totally different thing to win. In most cases, hiring an attorney can be the difference between winning and losing a case or even settling for a lowball offer. As mentioned, a seasoned attorney knows how to navigate complex legal processes, ensuring you receive fair compensation.

  • How Much Compensation Am I Entitled to if I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

    Hiring a personal injury lawyer does not necessarily mean you will be entitled to a particular amount of compensation. It all depends on the specifics of your case. However, hiring a Miami personal injury lawyer significantly increases your chances of winning the case and maximizing your claim.

  • How Much Do Miami Personal Injury Lawyers Charge?

    Most personal injury lawyers in Miami charge their clients on a contingent basis, meaning they only get paid if they win the case. And that includes Morgan and Morgan. When you hire our attorneys to fight for you, and they win, they will deduct a pre-agreed percentage from the settlement, usually anywhere between 30 to 40%. 

  • Do I Need to Pay for Consultation?

    Morgan and Morgan do not charge their clients any consultation fees. In fact, when you contact us, we will review your case for free. And if your claim is valid, we may be able to fight for your right to compensation.

  • Is My Personal Injury Claim Valid?

    When evaluating a personal injury case, the attorney will determine whether it meets the four elements of a valid claim. These elements include the following:

    Duty

    The attorney will determine whether the other party owed you a duty of care. In other words, it means that they were responsible for your safety. For example, when you go grocery shopping, the grocery store's management is responsible for your safety to a certain degree.

    Breach

    The personal injury lawyer in Miami will also determine whether the party that owed you a duty of care breached this duty. A breach of duty of care amounts to negligence, the whole point of filing a personal injury claim. Using grocery shopping as an example, if you slip and fall after stepping on cooking oil that has been on the floor for hours, this could be a form of negligence by the grocery store's management.

    Causation

    This step involves determining what caused the accident. To have a valid claim, you must be able to prove that the accident was caused by negligence.

    Damages

    In order to receive the compensation you need and deserve, you must prove that you suffered damages. This could either be economic or non-economic damages, or even both.

    Economic damages include the financial losses and expenses you incurred due to the accident, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages cover non-monetary losses such as pain and suffering, mental distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

  • When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

    The truth is not every personal injury case requires a lawyer. For instance, you may not necessarily need a lawyer if you suffered minor injuries and your claim was approved and processed. For instance, in Miami and throughout Florida, you will need to file a claim with your car insurance provider when you get injured in a car accident.

    This is because Florida is a no-fault state. As a result, each driver must have a minimum of $10,000 worth of Personal Injury Protection coverage, also known as PIP insurance. However, if your damages are worth more than $10,000, you will need to file a claim with the other party's insurance provider. In such a scenario, it is always advisable to contact an experienced personal injury attorney for further guidance.

    Keep in mind that there are no rules regarding when you should or should not contact such a lawyer. If you are unsure whether you have a valid claim or if your case is worth hiring an attorney, you have nothing to lose when contacting Morgan and Morgan for a free case evaluation. One of our representatives will review the details of your case and reach out to you.

    Another thing you need to know is that personal injury cases usually have strict deadlines. These deadlines vary depending on the specifics of the case. For instance, in Florida, the deadline for filing a car accident lawsuit is four years from the date of the accident. On the other hand, civil cases not based on negligence have a two-year statute of limitations.

  • What Happens if the Statute of Limitations Expires?

    When the statute of limitations expires, you automatically lose your right to sue the other party. This explains why it is always advisable to contact an attorney as soon as possible, even if you are unsure whether your case is valid. It is much better to discover that you do not have legal grounds to sue the other party than to know that you had a valid claim which expired because you took too long to pursue legal action.

  • Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help Even if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?

    Yes, you may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partly at fault for the accident. This is because Florida is a comparative negligence state, meaning the amount of compensation you may be entitled to will depend on your percentage of fault for the accident. For instance, if you are 30% at fault for the accident, you can only recover 70% of the settlement.
