| ORLANDO LAWYERS - CRIMINAL DEFENSE, DIVORCE, DUI & PERSONAL INJURY |
Why shouldn't I make any statements to an insurance company before speaking with an
attorney? Your statements are usually being recorded and most insurance companies are looking
to pay the least amount possible on any claims. You may be asked questions in a manner that only
protects their interests, and your injuries or difficulties may also change over time. You have a right
to consult with an attorney before making any statements and should do so at your earliest
convenience.
What is negligence?
It is the failure to use such care as a reasonably prudent and careful person would use under
similar circumstances. The following are just a few examples of negligence:
Can I sue someone if they are making false or malicious statements about me?
There are a number of considerations as to damages, however, an action may be worthy in many of
these cases.
What if someone deliberately causes physical harm to me?
If someone commits a battery upon you, you likely have a cause of action against them and should
document any injuries you received. In some of these cases, you may be able to recover damages
from the Defendant, however, in other cases, the Defendant may not have any assets for you to
recover damages from.
Which individuals may be able to sue in a wrongful death case?
The surviving spouse, children, and parents of the victim may be able to sue in a wrongful death
case. Absent those members of the family, the administrator of the decedent's estate can bring an
action on behalf of the estate.
