One Missed Detail Can Doom a Fair and Substantial Settlement
When someone is injured in an automobile, truck, or motorcycle accident the trauma, pain, and loss of income combine to make dealing with life a challenge. While victims try to heal they often look for help from an attorney to handle the details necessary to try to return to normal physically, financially, and emotionally.
This is where being thorough is crucial.
Believe it or not, some law firms and insurance companies will look at a case and agree to a quick settlement based on the first facts available. This is rarely a smart course of action.
Something very important we have learned in 22 years of experience handling south Florida personal injury cases is that we must completely understand all facets of every case. The urge for an immediate resolution must be retrained in order to consider potential significant future complications.
“Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.” Colin Powell
For example, in addition to medical bills incurred immediately after an injury there may be subsequent medical bills for follow-up care. There is often a need for physical and occupational therapy to return to work and that may be necessary for months or even years.
If a person is injured in any accident, they may later return to work and find that they can’t perform at the same level they did before the accident. That may cause them to lose income, known as future earning power, and if it lasts for an extended period of time it could be many thousands of dollars.
Thoroughness also includes knowledge of the law. Every day there are new rules, procedures, and statutes pertaining to personal injury cases. Your attorneys must be up to date and aware of everything that could prove your case and win.
