What Can Gainesville, FL Construction Accident Lawyers Do for Me?
Morgan and Morgan construction accident lawyers will aggressively protect your legal rights and work to get you the compensation you need for medical care and other expenses resulting from your injury. Our law firm was established because of an on-the-job injury. Our founder's brother was critically injured while on the job and was subsequently mistreated and woefully under-compensated by his employer, which was an enormous company. Because of this, John Morgan decided to go into law so that he could help others. Our construction accident lawyers will fight hard to make sure you get the means to recover and ensure you and your family are set up for long-term success.
Here is how we bring value to the table for your construction accident claim:
Establish credibility - It's all too common for victims of construction accidents to have their workers' compensation claim denied. The insurance company may argue that you weren't hurt on the job and, therefore, they are not responsible. This is a common tactic to make you "go away." Or they may draw out the process, hoping you'll give up and move on. When Morgan and Morgan construction accident attorneys represent you, you'll have the confidence to fight back against these tactics. By having your own legal counsel, the insurance company will come to realize you mean business and aren't going to settle for less than what you deserve. We believe nobody should suffer uncompensated for someone else's negligence.
Quicker results - We work with you to make sure critical deadlines aren't missed, making the process smoother and quicker. Since we know how the system works, you don't have to worry about making the wrong move that will impact how quickly you can start receiving benefits.
We take over communications - When you're injured on the job, the last thing you want to do is be on the phone all the time with the insurance company. You might say the wrong thing, which can impact your ability to get compensation. Remember, the insurance company's goal is to make sure you get as little as possible. That's why it's crucial to have a professional on your side. You should be able to recover in peace while we handle the grueling back and forth of negotiations.
Determining calculations - Of course, we know you would like to receive as much compensation as possible, and that's what we mean to get you. However, it has to be a reasonable amount with evidence to back it up. That's where our skills can help. We determine based upon the evidence how much to ask for, including things like:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering (if the injury was caused by a third party, such as faulty equipment)
- How your quality of life has been affected
Build a strong case - Building a case requires strong evidence. When we build a case, we'll review medical records, reports, witness statements, and any other evidence we find, such as security footage, to prove your injury happened on the job. We also look for any history of your employer endangering workers through unsafe practices. If there is a pattern, this only helps to bolster your claim.
