  • What if Someone Else Caused My Accident?

    Dangerous and negligent behaviors can all contribute to the likelihood of a serious vehicle accident in Jacksonville, FL. Someone who's not paying attention to the road, is driving recklessly, or simply is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, can contribute to your likelihood of getting hurt in a critical vehicle accident. 

    At the time of the accident, however, you may not understand what occurred or may not have access to evidence showcasing the reasons that you sustained your injuries. Since there is so much at stake in these kinds of personal injury claims, our lawyers regularly use resources such as accident reconstruction experts to tell the story of how the crash happened. Our car accident lawyers in Jacksonville, FL will guide you through the full range of your legal claim so that you can gather the right evidence and know who is responsible. It may be the case that more than one entity is responsible for your injuries. For example, perhaps the other driver lost control of their vehicle, but it is later revealed that this was the result of a defective car part. 

    You may have grounds to pursue a compensation claim against the other driver and that driver may also have a claim against the defective car company. Furthermore, if you get involved in a trucking accident, you may have grounds to open a compensation claim against the truck carrier as well as the driver of the individual vehicle. A lawsuit filed by our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers could be one of the most important things you do to protect your right to compensation. If you're not yet sure about the scope of your personal injury claim but you believe someone else is responsible, do not hesitate to contact our injury attorneys immediately.

  • What Are Some of the Most Common Challenges in Car Accident Claims?

    There are many potential issues that could influence your ability to fully recover from an accident or to get the support that you need. At Morgan & Morgan, we know that it can be very hard to understand how each phase of the case influences your future likelihood to recover damage compensation. 

    The early days of accident recovery are extremely important because there are many different things that you need to handle during this time. For example, you need to notify your car insurance company that you've been involved in an accident. You also need to get medical attention and find out whether or not you'll need to see any specialist to get additional care. 

    During this same time, you will likely have questions about whether or not you have legal grounds to pursue a lawsuit. If you were not able to gather evidence at the scene of the car accident, you will need to begin looking for ways to collect this information so that you can bring forward a claim. This can include things such as statements from eyewitnesses, police reports, videos, and photos. 

    It is possible that someone else that the accident scene had some of this information and can help you piece together what. All of this information can be used to help you see whether or not one or more parties are responsible for your injuries. 

    We may find that more than one person is responsible for the accident, and it then becomes our job to gather this additional information and present it during settlement conversations or in trial. In many cases, we're able to resolve these claims outside of court without the stress and unknowns of trial. However, we are always ready to take your full case to trial if it becomes clear that we can't reach a fair settlement amount in negotiations. 

    With our years of experience as car accident lawyers in Jacksonville, FL, we use the knowledge from past cases to help you determine which course of action makes the most sense given your situation. This way you always know what's happening and the best way to proceed. At each phase in your case, such as if the other side comes forward with a settlement offer, you'll know what you're looking at so you can make the best decision for you and your family. 

  • What Kinds of Bills Are Included in Damages?

    Many different kinds of expenses may show up because of your car accident, including bills for medical costs like visits to the hospital, your doctor, medications, surgery, or assistive equipment. There's also a strong chance you're unable to go back to work for at least a period of time, and these lost wages can be included in your accident claim as well. 

    Talk with Morgan & Morgan lawyers about the best way to total up your damages. 

  • What If I Will Never Recover From My Injuries From a Jacksonville Car Accident?

    Sadly, you may reach a phase known as “maximum medical improvement.” Once you have reached maximum medical improvement, this is the point at which your doctor believes you are unlikely to heal much more from your injuries. This does not mean that you have made a full recovery. In fact, you may still be suffering the consequences of your accident and may even need assistance or rehabilitative devices to get through each day. 

    Recognizing this, your personal injury lawyer will help include this information in your car accident case. Our car accident lawyers in Jacksonville, FL know that it can be hard to accept the fact that you may have reached maximum medical improvement, even if you are not yet fully healed. We use this information to paint a picture for the court of how your life has been impacted by the accident so that they understand your present as well as your future costs because of these unfortunate activities.

  • What Kinds of Evidence Do I Need in a Jacksonville, FL Car Accident Claim?

    Your lawyers will help you determine which pieces of evidence are most likely to support your full claim in a car accident lawsuit in Jacksonville, FL. This may include photos or videos from the scene of the accident directly but can also include eyewitness statements, police reports, and more. 

    In some situations, our car accident lawyers in Jacksonville, FL will use outside experts known as accident reconstruction professionals to retell the story of your accident. This may involve visiting the accident scene or using computer simulations to tell exactly what happened. When the circumstances of your accident were very difficult and you're not entirely sure what happened, accident reconstruction experts can be a helpful component of making your injury claim.

    It is not easy to recover from an accident like this, and the last thing you need to be worried about is gathering the right pieces of evidence to make your case. Depending on our legal team can help give you back the time and energy you need to recuperate from your accident.

  • Why Should I Speak to an Attorney Sooner Rather Than Later?

    You have a limited period of time, known as the statute of limitations, in which to file a personal injury claim. If you wait too long to file your injury claim, you give up your legal rights to get that compensation and may be dealing with the direct circumstances of your accident by having to pay those bills on your own. 

    No accident victim should have to go through these circumstances, however. At Morgan & Morgan, we believe that every victim deserves to have their time in court to tell their side of the story and to fight for the compensation they deserve. This can only be done when you reach out to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident happens. 

    If you retain Morgan & Morgan to help you with your injury claim, you will be in good hands with a team of dedicated professionals who have navigated this situation before for plenty of other victims. To get started, contact us today for a free, no-obligation case evaluation.
