Regardless of the type of personal injury accident you were involved in,
it is entirely normal to feel frightened and overwhelmed after the fact.
Fortunately, you can begin taking action when you retain our talented
legal team.
Avoid speaking directly with anyone from the insurance company, but rather
refer them to us as your legal representative. Adjusters are trained to
elicit statements from accident victims which can be used to minimize
the value of a claim, and could even skew your statements to reduce the
insurer's liability to pay. We will defend your personal interests and
fight to recover full compensation for you.
Our team will pursue an out of court settlement if at all possible, but
we will not hesitate to take your case to court if necessary and possibly
even sue the insurance company. Our firm will relentlessly pursue justice
for your case and work tirelessly to give you the peace of mind you deserve.
Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?
Not only can a qualified attorney from our firm can walk you through the
entire process of filing a claim, but unlike insurance companies we are
true advocates on your side. Insurance companies are first and foremost
a business. They are more often than not looking out for their company’s
bottom line, not your best interest. Additionally, many people find that
their injuries are more severe in the days or weeks following an accident.
If you accept an insurance settlement before you know how serious your
injuries turn out to be, you may find your settlement no longer covers
all your medical expenses.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
According to Florida Statutes Annotated section 95.11(3), you have four
years to file a personal injury claim before the statute of limitations
runs out. If this happens before you file a claim, you will most likely
lose your right to file a claim and recover compensation. There are some
exceptions that can change this four-year time period so it’s important
to speak to an attorney about your case as soon as you can. Our firm offers
free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting
High Stack Gordon Kirby today.
