No matter how careful you are in your daily life, you can’t control the actions of others. When someone else’s negligence or reckless behavior causes an accident, you could end up with a serious injury.
In these situations, you have the right to seek financial restitution so you can put your life back to normal. Find out how our personal injury attorneys at Kogan & DiSalvo, serving Cypress Lakes, FL, can help you.
We cover the ins and outs of your claim so you don’t have to sweat the small details. We’ll put the most stressful parts on our shoulders and carry you to the finish line.
We start with a complimentary evaluation that allows us to get to know you as a person and understand the facts of your case. Once you hear our perspective on what strategy to use, you can choose whether you want to partner with us.
From there, our trained staff works to gather evidence. We review it to determine all liable parties and explore every possible avenue for compensation. Our team also collects proof of your losses to prevent the other side from unfairly minimizing your claim.
Filling personal injury suits can involve mountains of paperwork for submission. Our office handles the bulk of these items for you.
You deserve to stay informed every step of the way. We keep you in the loop and guide you through the timeline. You can always reach out to us with your questions and concerns.
Failing to get full medical evaluations and treatment can negatively impact your claim. Our staff provides helpful reminders to help you stay on top of necessary healthcare visits that strengthen your case.
With our strategy in place, negotiations can begin. This can be the most challenging aspect for injured people who try to handle the personal injury process on their own. Insurance companies scrutinize every detail in an effort to give the lowest payout possible. They also use sophisticated questions to throw you off track or get you to admit fault.
With Kogan & DiSalvo on your side, we talk to and negotiate with insurers so you don’t have to. We’re fully aware of their tactics and can successfully counteract them.
Most suits settle fairly when the other side sees the strength of our case. When they won’t be reasonable, we’re ready to take them to court and fight for you there. We’ll even appeal an unfair decision and keep fighting for justice.
Once you’ve resolved your case or received a verdict, you have to properly distribute your funds to cover any outstanding medical bills and liens. We’re here to guide you through the entire process.
What will your compensation cover? Any monetary damages from the accident are the first consideration. Medical bills, property damage and related expenses fall into this category.
Injuries can also lead to deep emotional or mental trauma that can take years to overcome, if at all. Disfigurement or disability can change your circumstances and affect your enjoyment of life. You can seek a payout for these noneconomic damages, too.
Though rare, you may be eligible for punitive damages aimed at punishing the exceptionally negligent or reckless actions of others. We’ll let you know if such compensation is possible during your consultation.
Our Kogan & DiSalvo team is here to help with any type of personal injury claim you may have in Cypress Lakes.
With us, you’re working with more than just an auto accident firm. Along with car accident cases, we handle motorcycle, truck accidents, bicycle, pedestrian, boat and bus collisions.
Additionally, we can handle nursing home abuse cases, slip-and-fall claims and premises liability. We also have extensive experience in product liability and mass torts, where defective items have injured unsuspecting customers.
Our services span a wide variety of ailments as well. Clients come to us for whiplash, spine, brain, neck, back and catastrophic injuries. We also seek compensation for mental and emotional trauma when appropriate.
We’ll kindly and compassionately support you and fight for your rights after the untimely loss of a loved one because of negligence. We’ve helped some clients recover thousands of dollars in these cases to get them justice beyond what criminal trials offer.
Don’t assume that you can’t get any compensation if you think you bear some responsibility for the injury. Florida’s modified comparative negligence laws mean you can recover damages for injuries if you were no more than 50% at fault for the event.
To illustrate, suppose the full value of your damages equals $100,000. If the evidence suggests you are 20% responsible, you can still recover $80,000 from the other parties. For that reason, you should still pursue your claim and get what you’re due.
The facts may show that you don’t bear as much fault as you think. Don’t apologize or accept responsibility when you talk about the accident. Discuss those points with us, and we’ll help you present a balanced argument that doesn’t compromise your right to a fair recovery.
What you say or do after the accident can help or hurt your chances for compensation. Remember these steps to protect your case:
