You’ll Connect With A Real Lawyer, Not A Case Manager
If you call other Florida firms, you may think you’re speaking to an actual attorney. But in reality, you may be dealing with a case manager or a paralegal who has no formal degree or training and whose skill level is not up to snuff. Your lawyer may not even speak to you or review your file until months into the case. Even worse, that lawyer is often not the one you see on the billboard or the one who will represent you in court.
While many firms advertise themselves as personal injury attorneys, the fact is that they may only dabble in it. It’s not their core area of focus.
When you work with us, you will have the assurance that you are working with skilled and capable attorneys. Our lead attorney has earned multiple awards in the personal injury field. We offer the experienced, diligent representation that you need when the stakes are high.
Don’t Get Suckered By Those Big-Dollar Settlements You See On TV
It’s easy to get sucked in by those huge settlement numbers. But don’t be fooled. They mean absolutely nothing. Many times, you don’t get anything close to the amount of the settlement.
Here’s why: The law firm gets a fee for its services. But you are on the hook for unresolved medical bills, court costs and liens. Many times, injury victims end up with a measly 5% to 10% of the judgment. But, of course, the law firm continues to advertise the huge settlement dollars.
At Itzkowitz Law, we’re only concerned with how much goes into your pocket. And we have no upfront fees, so we only get paid when you do.
Essential Information For Injury Victims: FAQs
Q: What is my personal injury case worth?
How much your case is worth depends on many factors. This includes how severe your injuries are, how high your medical expenses are and the wages you lost due to the resulting injuries of an accident. The pain and suffering you experienced are also important considerations.
For instance, a case involving long-term disability might be worth more than one with minor injuries, not just because of the physical impact but also due to the emotional toll and lifestyle changes involved. Each case is unique, so consider consulting our attorneys to get a case evaluation.
Q: How long does a personal injury case take?
The time it takes to resolve a personal injury case varies. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take years, especially if they go to trial. Factors that affect the timeline include the complexity of your case, how cooperative the insurance company is and whether a lawsuit needs to be filed. Our team works to resolve cases as quickly as possible while still fighting for fair compensation.
Q: Why shouldn’t I talk to the insurance company after an accident?
It’s risky to speak with the insurance company without legal representation. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They might use your words against you or pressure you into accepting a low offer. By letting our attorneys handle communications between you and all involved parties, you protect your rights and increase your chances of receiving fair compensation.
Q: What is the difference between a catastrophic injury and a soft tissue injury?
Catastrophic injuries, like spinal cord or brain injuries, have severe, long-lasting effects on your life. They often require extensive medical treatment and may lead to permanent disability. Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains or strains, usually heal over time with proper care.
While both can be serious, catastrophic injuries typically result in higher compensation due to their long-term impact on your life and finances.
