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.
