When you select Morgan and Morgan to represent you, you’re choosing a firm with a long history of obtaining favorable settlements and court verdicts on behalf of our clients. We consider our clients our strength, and we fight hard to win them the compensation they need to recover after an unfortunate accident or financial disaster. 

Over the years, we’ve won more than $13B in compensation for our victims in various cases. Some of our most recent wins include:

• $60M in a data breach lawsuit against Morgan Stanley
• $16.4M for a woman who sustained spinal herniations in a car accident
• $12.35M for an older woman in a nursing home abuse claim
• $10M in a wrongful death accident involving a pedestrian
• $6.4M for a man injured in a vehicle accident with a MARTA bus
• $5.58M in a slip and fall case for a woman who broke her foot
• $5.3M for a man who slipped on grease in a pizza restaurant

These are only a handful of our successful cases in 2022. We’ve won hundreds of others in prior years. 

Outside of our numerous successful cases, we seek to understand our client's challenges due to their injuries. We take an empathetic approach, ensuring that we fully understand the circumstances of their accidents and who was responsible. 

We get to know our clients on a personal level. We want to know how their lives changed due to their experience and what they anticipate for the future.

We don’t seek the easy way out when we take on a case. We examine the evidence, ensuring that it fairly represents our client. If an insurance company makes a settlement offer, we assess its adequacy and determine whether it fairly compensates our clients for their losses.

If the insurance company or other defendant won’t provide an adequate settlement, we have no problem taking them to court. At all times, we want what’s right for our clients. We’ll gladly put additional time and resources toward a court case if we feel it will benefit our customers.

A personal injury attorney attempts to make you financially whole following an accident or property loss. We work to understand your claim type and what laws apply to it. 

Once we understand the circumstances of your case, we’ll build the evidence to support your claims. Gathering evidence includes assembling documentation like photographs, police reports, current insurance policies, and medical treatment history. We’ll also speak with professional experts concerning your injuries and the facts of your case.

Part of our responsibilities includes valuing your losses. We’ll determine your expected damages and how your injuries will affect your future. 

After we’ve established how much your case is worth, we’ll attempt to negotiate with the at-fault parties. We’ll explain the extent of your injuries and what you are due in fair compensation. If the negotiation process fails, we’ll take your case to court.

If your case goes to court, you can count on us to represent you to our fullest abilities. We’ll present all of the evidence and explain the circumstances of your case to the judge and jury.

You can count on us to keep you informed during every step of the legal process. We’re here to reduce your stress and make you feel safe, knowing that your case is in our capable hands.

All of our initial consultations are free. You can seek a proper assessment of your case with no out-of-pocket expense. If you select us as your lawyers, we’ll provide you with a contingency agreement. 

Under the contingency contract, you agree to pay a specific percentage of any settlement or court verdict we win on your behalf. If we cannot recover any money for you, there is no charge for our services.

Even if you’re unsure whether your claim warrants a lawsuit, seeking legal advice is never a bad idea. Our attorneys can advise you of the options you have, and you can decide whether you want to pursue a claim or not.

Following an accident, you’ll want to seek immediate medical assistance. Once you’ve recovered enough to speak with a lawyer concerning your claim, it’s best to schedule an appointment with our Harlem Heights legal team. 

Seeking legal advice is often a scary prospect for clients. Many of our clients have never dealt with lawyers in the past. Their prior knowledge of legal activities is from movies or television shows.

We can assure you that speaking with our attorneys isn’t frightening. We’re here to help you, and we take our responsibilities very seriously. 

When you come into our office for your case review, we’ll give you our utmost attention. We’ll ask you to explain what happened and how your injuries occurred. 

We may ask many questions, but that's okay if you don’t have immediate answers. We’ll take your case step by step and build the evidence as we go.

Following your consultation, you should have a good idea of your available options.

Following an accident, insurance providers will likely try to contact you. They may ask you to provide a statement concerning the circumstances of the accident or even offer you a settlement.

Speaking with an insurance company before seeking legal advice is not in your best interests. Once you give a statement to an insurance provider, they can use your words against you if you decide to pursue legal action. They may try to coerce you into admitting you were partly at fault for the accident or even wholly responsible.

If you receive a call from an insurance provider, tell them you’re still recovering and can’t talk with them now. Call our Harlem Heights office to schedule your case review. We’ll discuss your case and determine the best way to handle insurance companies or other entities reaching out to you. 

If you decide to hire us as your attorney, we’ll handle any talks with insurance providers on your behalf. You won’t need to worry about saying something that could adversely affect your case.

The damages you can recover will depend on the circumstances of your case. You can generally expect compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, property loss, and household costs. You may also receive damages for emotional pain and anguish, disability or disfigurement, and loss of quality of life. 

If you are the surviving family member of a loved one who died in an accident, you can receive damages for funeral and burial expenses. You may also obtain compensation for mental suffering and loss of companionship or parental guidance.

A Harlem Heights personal injury attorney can estimate the approximate damages you may recover.

The Florida statute of limitations is four years for personal injury claims. If you are filing a wrongful death lawsuit, you have two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a claim.

While Florida allows personal injury victims some time to pursue a lawsuit, beginning the process early is always best. If you wait too long, you may find it difficult to remember important facts about your accident. It will also be challenging to assemble evidence, as you may lose some critical documentation over time.

The majority of personal injury cases resolve by way of a settlement. Only 4% of personal injury claims ever go to court. 

However, each case is different. Your claim may end up in court if the at-fault parties are unwilling to provide you with a fair settlement.

Our Harlem Heights personal injury attorneys can advise you of the likelihood of your case settling or going to trial.

As the nation’s largest personal injury firm, Morgan and Morgan has helped thousands of people obtain justice for their unforeseen injuries. We believe in supporting people who are victims of the negligent acts of others, and we can help you.
