2. What Should I Do After a Truck Accident in Florida?

If you’re involved in a truck accident, your priority is to seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the accident scene by taking photos, collecting witness contact information, and obtaining a copy of the police report. It’s crucial to avoid discussing fault with the other parties involved. Once you’ve attended to immediate concerns, contact Coffey McPharlin.

3. How Can a Truck Accident Lawyer Help Me?

A truck accident lawyer can significantly impact the outcome of your case by investigating the accident, gathering evidence, and determining liability. They handle negotiations with insurance companies to ensure you receive fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. If a settlement isn’t reached, your lawyer will represent you in court. At Coffey McPharlin, our experienced truck accident attorneys are dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for your case.

4. What should I do immediately after a construction accident?

If you’re involved in a construction accident, your priority is to seek medical attention. Next, report the accident to your employer and document everything, including taking photos of the accident scene and your injuries. Finally, contact Coffey McPharlin to discuss your legal options and start building your case.

5. What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?

The compensation you may recover in a personal injury case can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and, in some cases, punitive damages. The specific compensation depends on the details of your case.

6. What is a contingency fee, and how does it work?

A contingency fee means that you do not pay any attorney fees unless we win your case. Our fee will be a percentage of the settlement or award, which we will discuss with you upfront. This allows you to pursue justice without worrying about upfront legal costs.

7. What should I bring to my initial consultation with Coffey McPharlin?

For your initial consultation, bring any documentation related to your case, such as accident reports, medical records, photographs of injuries, insurance information, and correspondence with your employer or insurance company. This information will help us assess your case more effectively.

8. How do Fort Lauderdale’s local laws impact my personal injury claim?

Fort Lauderdale, like the rest of Florida, follows specific state laws regarding personal injury claims. However, local ordinances and regulations can also play a role in your case, especially in areas like premises liability or construction site safety. At Coffey McPharlin, we have extensive experience navigating both state and local laws in Fort Lauderdale to maximize your compensation and ensure that all relevant regulations are considered in your case.

9. How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?

The duration of a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the willingness of parties to settle, and court schedules. Some cases may be resolved in a few months, while others could take several years. We strive to resolve cases as efficiently as possible while ensuring the best outcome for our clients.

10. What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

Before accepting any settlement offer from an insurance company, it’s crucial to consult with an attorney. Insurance companies often offer settlements that are far below what you may be entitled to. Coffey McPharlin can review the offer and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.

11. Can I pursue a claim if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still pursue a claim even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys can help determine how this might impact your case.
