Miami Personal Injury FAQ

Answers from a Miami Personal Injury Attorney

Do I have a case? Personal injury claims are based on proving that the other party caused your accident through negligence. If it can be demonstrated that the other person caused you to suffer injury by failing to take reasonable precaution or by acting recklessly, you should have grounds to file a claim.

Can I afford to hire an attorney? Absolutely. If you have a claim, a Miami personal injury attorney from Klemick and Gampel, P.A. will represent you on contingency. We will charge you nothing unless we win the case for you.

Can't I just represent myself? You certainly can, but it is not advisable that you do so. You will be working with insurance adjusters and claims representatives whose job is to protect the insurance company from financial losses, who spend all day every day limiting the amount paid to people in your position. Hiring an attorney from our firm means you will have an advocate to aggressively pursue your claim, and we will go to court if necessary to recover the amount you deserve.

Should I accept the settlement I was already offered? Not until you speak with an attorney from our firm. Insurance companies will usually attempt to settle a claim quickly by taking advantage of the accident victim's anxiety to recover compensation. They may assume that you are unaware of the true value of your claim, and they often get away with paying a settlement which simply is not fair.

How much is my claim worth? If the accident was not your fault, you are entitled to recover sufficient compensation to restore you as closely as possible to your pre-accident condition. This includes reimbursement for your present and future medical bills and your lost income, as well as compensation for any reduction in your future earning power. You can claim damages for your pain and suffering, as well as for the degree to which a brain injury, burn injury or other catastrophic injury has reduced your ability to fully enjoy life.
