You seem to have a case for damages.  Give us a call. Some lawyers build cases from the bottom up- meaning they start with the amount of bills and expenses. Or start from the top down- focusing on those intangible losses you have suffered such as loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish and pain. No calculator will add those up. We've seen people who have given up active play with their children, gardening, motorcycles and many other things that make a hard life good or a good life great. And, worse yet, have mounting bills hinder their credit.  Lawyers can help. Insurance carriers try to negotiate every dollar they can, because every $100 means millions in the end to the Board of Directors. Even in soft tissue injuries, those tissues stretch and scar, or cause corresponding pressure on nerves in the spinal cord, leaving behind permanent problems for some. I have had clients need surgeries years later because of a bulging disk and have their entire world collapse for what seemed inconsequential at the time. Insurance companies want you to settle as soon as possible and treat as little as possible. Attorneys matter. Carriers change their gameplan when a lawyer is involved. It seems like your injuries are more serious. For that reason - and the misinformation by TV lawyers and referral services- is why people should consult lawyers who take the time like on sites like this. Because of the economy, more lawyers are jumping into personal injury and should stick to what they know. Personal injury law REQUIRES knowledge about medical science and biomechanics (the forces on a body in a wreck) far greater and more specific than you'd think. The other side has doctors and millions on their side to say nothing is wrong or fight the claim. The more a law firm advertises, the less likely it is to give personal attention. If you order a cheeseburger, you don't often meet the chef. If you buy a shirt, you virtually never meet the designer. But hiring a lawyer is different. A lawyer is your spokesperson. Unlike a burger or a shirt, it can be a relationship which will last a lifetime. Give us a call to discuss this confidentially and for free.  John Phillips, 904-444-4444, jmp@floridajustice.com.

To have a successful personal injury claim, you must prove two basic elements.  First, that the defendant (in your case the city, county, or State in charge of the road) was negligent.  Second, that the negligence was the cause of your accident and injuries.  It seems like you are well on your way to establishing negligence.  It was a very good idea to take the video to document the scene. Most good personal injury firms handle cases such as yours on a contingent fee, so there are no attorney fees unless you win.  I recommend that you get advice from an experienced attorney right away.  Do not wait.  Waiting may make it more difficult to prove your claim, and if you wait too long, the statute of limitations may prevent you from pursuing it.  MORGAN & MORGAN ATTORNEYS AT LAW, P.C.
