  • Is the Law Firm or Attorney Based in West Palm Beach?

    Settling for just any attorney you come across on the internet is one of the worst mistakes you will ever make when looking for the right attorney to represent you or your loved one. The location of the attorney or law firm matters a lot. To put things into perspective, if you live in West Palm Beach, you want to ensure that you work with an attorney or law firm based in the area. Many law firms and attorneys on the internet might not understand how the local and state laws work in this part of Florida.

    For this reason, it is important to consider an attorney or law firm with a personal connection with your local area. This is also convenient when you want to meet the attorney to discuss your case. Choosing a local attorney or law firm helps create a positive attorney-client relationship.

    For example, the first ever Morgan and Morgan office was opened in Orlando, FL, back in 1988. We have since expanded to other cities in the state, including West Palm Beach. And we do not just practice there; we have physical officers in West Palm Beach to create that personal connection with our clients.

    So if you choose us to work on your case, you can rest assured that you have a team of attorneys who understand the local laws and regulations and how they apply to your specific situation. But, most importantly, you know that you have a friend in us, located within your local area.

  • Does the Attorney Have the Resources to Fight for You?

    Personal injury cases are not usually the easiest to solve. It is even worse when dealing with something as complex as negligent security. This is where the importance of powerful legal resources comes in. You want an attorney with access to powerful resources to fight for your rights and settle for what you truly deserve, not a take-it-or-leave-it offer from the other party.

    If an attorney or law firm lacks powerful legal resources to fight for you, they will likely conduct shoddy investigations just to close the case and move on to the next. Most people do not understand that it is expensive to build a winning case. This is because so many factors come into play as far as budgeting is concerned.

    For example, in order to build a strong case, the attorney might need to travel to different places to collect evidence, interview witnesses and experts, and so on. These processes are expensive and can get even more expensive depending on the complexity of the case.

    When an ordinary law firm or attorney realizes they are running out of resources, they will likely wrap up their investigations and file a claim with the other party. The biggest challenge with this decision is that it will probably leave out crucial details about the case. As a result, you might not recover the actual value of your case.

    Now let's look at it from a different perspective. When you hire a law firm or attorney with access to powerful legal resources, they will want to conduct thorough investigations to prove your case. This is because they know the stronger the case, the lower the chances of settling for less than what you deserve. That is what you get when you hire Morgan and Morgan negligent security attorneys to fight for you.

    Because we are the largest personal injury law firm in the United States, we have access to powerful legal resources to fight for your rights. When you contact us for a free, no-obligation case evaluation, we will review your case to determine whether you have a valid claim. And if your claim is valid, we will devise a legal strategy to fight for your rights.

    While at it, we will not leave any stones unturned. In fact, our attorneys have helped recover millions of dollars for individuals who had been offered a few dollars as the initial offer by insurance companies.

  • Does the Attorney Have the Experience Required to Handle a Negligent Security Lawsuit?

    An experienced attorney knows how to navigate such complex cases to ensure you receive the compensation you need and deserve. In addition, experienced attorneys know the different tactics the defendants use to avoid liability in these kinds of cases and how to outsmart them.

    Such an attorney also understands certain details about these cases that inexperienced attorneys may not be exposed to just yet. For example, the timing of your claim could greatly influence the amount of compensation you may be able to recover. The same applies to the things you do after the injury. An experienced attorney will review your case and develop the right legal strategy to increase your chances of winning.

    For example, more than one party might be responsible for your injuries. But you should not expect every attorney to know that or at least how to pursue such claims involving multiple defendants. It takes years of experience to understand how these cases work and the best ways to deal with the defendants.

    Speaking of experience, Morgan and Morgan has been fighting for the rights of personal injury victims for over three decades. Since we opened our doors in 1988, we have been the go-to law firm for injury victims in West Palm Beach or Florida and the entire nation. As a result, we boast some of the most experienced attorneys in the personal injury field.

  • Does the Attorney Have a Proven Track Record of Winning?

    The right attorney should be able to demonstrate their track record of winning personal injury cases. That is the whole point of hiring an attorney; you need someone who increases your chances of winning. Although there is no guarantee that you will win the case, it is important that you hire an attorney or a law firm with a proven track record of winning.

    Many attorneys indeed spend more time marketing than practicing law. That is not the attorney you want to represent you in your negligent security case. Words aside, you need numbers to prove that they have actually been winning these cases.

    For example, at Morgan and Morgan, we have helped our clients recover more than $20 billion as compensation for various kinds of injuries, including those involving negligence. For this reason, we are not one of those law firms that get excited by any settlement offer.

    In fact, that is usually one of the greatest challenges of working with an attorney or law firm without a track record of winning. They will likely want to settle your claim quickly to close the case and add to their track record as they hope to build their portfolio.

    But what is the point of winning if the settlement does not represent the actual value of your case? What if we told you that you deserve more than the initial offer?
     
    While Morgan and Morgan is all about winning, we do not settle for just any offer. If it is not right for you, we will not accept it.

    But do not take our word for it. Instead, check out some of our most recent results here.

  • Can the Attorney Fight for You in Court?

    Because most personal injury cases are settled out of court, many attorneys never set foot in court. This is actually a good thing. When such cases are handled out of court, the chances of settling are even higher. The settlement might be processed even faster after an out-of-court agreement.

    However, out-of-court settlements have some disadvantages — many personal injury attorneys who rely on settling out of court end up lacking courtroom experience. As a result, such attorneys would rather settle for anything just to close the case than fight for you in court.

    This also explains why some personal injury law firms appear to have a lot of experience and great results but have never set foot in court.

    At Morgan and Morgan, our attorneys are always ready to settle out of court but also prepared to fight for you in court if the other party refuses to cooperate. We require our lawyers to handle a certain number of cases in court every year to build their courtroom experience. With this kind of experience, you can rest easy knowing that your attorney will not settle for any offer just to close the case. Rather, we will fight for you in and out of court, ensuring you receive the compensation you need and deserve.

  • What Damages Can I Recover From a Negligent Security Lawsuit?

    The damages you may be able to recover will depend on the specifics of your case. Generally, you may be able to recover economic and noneconomic damages. Also, if the judge or jury deems it fit, you may be awarded punitive damages.

  • What Should I Do If I Get Injured Due to Negligent Security in West Palm Beach?

    If you suffered severe injuries due to negligent security, call 911 right away and request an ambulance. Then, take pictures or videos of your surroundings or anything you believe might have contributed to your injuries. For example, if you got injured due to a lack of lighting, take pictures of the area. Next, make sure you follow your doctor's instructions. Lastly, contact a Morgan and Morgan negligent security attorney for a free case evaluation.

  • What Do I Need to Prove Negligent Security?

    In most cases, you will need to prove four key elements:

    • The defendant owed you a duty of care
    • The defendant breached their duty of care
    • You got injured because of the breach of duty of care
    • You suffered damages due to the injuries sustained
  • How Much Is My Negligent Security Case Worth?

    There is no standard value of a negligent security claim. It all depends on the specifics of the case. Speaking with an experienced attorney is the surest way to find out the actual value of your case.

  • How Much Will Morgan and Morgan Attorneys Charge for Their Services?

    Morgan and Morgan uses a contingency payment system, meaning we do not charge you anything if we do not win. And if we win, we will deduct a small percentage from the settlement amount, usually between 30 and 40 percent of the total amount. This covers the legal costs of pursuing the lawsuit and the attorney fees.

  • How Do I Get Started With My Negligent Security Case?
