Auto Accidents

SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries sustained in car accidents are sometimes permanently disabling. Some injuries that may seem inconsequential may later develop into severe medical conditions. Sometimes, there is more than just physical damage, especially if the victim is involved in a traumatic accident that has caused serious injuries. After any automobile collision, seek medical attention first and immediately. Internal injuries can be masked by shock. Getting immediate medical attention right after the accident helps you to identify any underlying complications and have them treated at once. This is especially true for injuries that aren’t immediately visible. Keep all medical records and bills you accumulate throughout your recovery. These records and the medical treatment reports can be used at a later time to verify your personal injury claim. They will also help with calculating and determining what should be awarded to you as compensation.

DON’T TALK TO AN INSURANCE COMPANY BEFORE YOU SPEAK WITH AN ORLANDO ATTORNEY

Like other businesses, auto insurance companies like to limit their losses. After you’ve been injured, you’ll probably receive a quick settlement offer, and it may even seem like the expedient option. Personal injury lawyers advise that you do not accept this settlement. Don’t even speak to the insurance company or answer any questions until you have talked to an attorney. You’ll probably be offered a sum that’s far less than your injury claim is worth. Let experienced attorney Robert J. Horst handle the insurance company and negotiate on your behalf.

ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS IN ORLANDO CAN HELP YOU THROUGH THE THREE STAGES OF PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

Although every case is different, most personal injury claims arising from auto accidents are handled in either two or three stages:

• The investigation: First, we meet with you for a free initial consultation and establish the facts. We determine if you have grounds to file a personal injury claim and if the evidence is sufficient to prove your claim. If we mutually agree to work together on your case, we will determine exactly what happened, gather and examine the evidence, and question the witnesses.
• Out-of-court negotiations: It is always our objective to resolve every auto accident case as expediently and as inexpensively as possible. Overwhelmingly, most personal injury cases are settled before any trial can take place when attorneys for both sides negotiate privately outside of the courtroom. During these negotiations, you can trust that Orlando car accident lawyer Robert J. Horst is fighting on your behalf for the maximum possible compensation.
• Trial: In the rare cases when settlement cannot be agreed on privately, Robert J. Horst will take your lawsuit to trial and explain precisely what happened to a jury of your peers. You can be certain that your side of the story will be thoroughly explained and fully understood. In the most egregious auto accident injury cases, the injuries are disabling and permanent. Robert J. Horst will fight for the medical treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy you need for as long as you need it – and the resources to pay for it.
