How Much Does a Car Wreck Lawyer in Palm Harbor Cost?
At Morgan & Morgan, we only get paid if we win you money. This starts the moment you walk in the door. You get a free consultation and case evaluation before we even decide to take your case.
If we decide to take your case, we will cover all of your court expenses throughout the process. Only at the very end — after you have received payment from the insurance companies — do we take our cut. If we are unable to get you money for any reason, you never pay us a cent.
Should I Accept a Settlement Offer From the Insurance Company?
Until we see an offer, that is hard to determine. But as a rule of thumb, if the insurance company makes a fair offer, you should probably accept it. A trial is never a sure thing. And a settlement offer means you will get the money a lot more quickly than you would get an award from a trial.
With that being said, trial rewards tend to be much higher than settlement offers. They usually take years longer, especially if the insurance company appeals. But assuming a jury decides in your favor, there is a good chance you will get much more money from a trial than from a settlement.
We’ll advise you based on what we feel is best, but the final decision is yours to make.
How Long Will a Trial Take?
Even a short trial will probably take at least a year to complete. And that is assuming there are no appeals. Including discovery, pre-trial motions, the actual trial, and any appeals, a trial can potentially take a decade or more to complete.
Can I Receive Compensation Even if I Am at Fault?
Assuming you have the correct type of insurance, you are still eligible for compensation, even if you are at fault. Insurance companies can’t deny you the insurance you paid for, even if your mistake caused the accident.
You may face higher premiums in the future, but that doesn’t have any impact on the compensation you get for the Palm Harbor accident you were involved in.
Can You Help if I Am Charged With a Crime Due to the Accident?
At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys practice civil law. While we can give you basic advice if you are charged, we do not handle criminal cases. We will help you find a qualified Palm Harbor criminal attorney to handle the situation if you are charged. And we will share information with your criminal attorney that might help you in that case.
Can I Get Disability Insurance Payments After a Car Wreck in Palm Harbor?
Social Security disability insurance provides compensation both for temporary and permanent loss of income due to disability.
Your Morgan & Morgan lawyer can tell you whether you qualify and can help you apply for payments. We can also help you with your appeal process if you are denied the disability compensation that you deserve. Your lawyer will provide additional information during your initial consultation.
Can I Get Fired Due to a Car Wreck?
As a rule of thumb, if you miss work due to a temporary disability, your employer can’t fire you. However, there are exceptions to this rule, especially if the accident happened while working due to negligence.
However, if you lose your job due to an accident, you may be eligible for additional compensation. If you lose your job — or even if you lose your benefits due to an accident — tell your lawyer. Your lawyer will advise you of your rights and may be able to get you additional compensation.
What Happens if I Discover Injuries From the Accident at a Later Point?
Florida has a four-year statute of limitations on making personal injury claims. If you discover additional injuries from a car accident within that four-year time frame, you can freely file a lawsuit for compensation. However, if it is beyond that four years, it may not be possible to file a lawsuit, or you may be limited in what damages you can receive.
Every law has exceptions. So speak to your attorney even if you believe you are beyond the statute of limitations.
