If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries, you might be wondering:

  • Do I have a case?
  • Should I hire an attorney?
  • What kind of attorney do I need?
  • Can I settle out of court with an insurance company on my own?
  • How soon should I hire an attorney?
  • Is a personal injury lawyer worth the cost? What is my case worth, anyway?
  • There are so many lawyers. Who should I trust?

If your injury is the result of someone else’s negligence, you need a personal injury lawyer in Cape Coral. Unfortunately, many attorneys hold themselves out as “personal injury attorneys” hoping to earn a quick fee for settling your case.

While many cases settle out of court (which sometimes is to your benefit), getting a fair settlement takes specialized skill, knowledge, and experience. Sometimes insurance companies need compelling evidence to see the writing on the wall. We know what that compelling evidence looks like and how to get it.

What can The Dickstein Law Firm do for my personal injury case?

The Dickstein Law Firm is an ally in your corner.

If you suffered an injury or are trying to support an injured family member, you will need to focus on healing. Peer-reviewed medical literature tells us that severe injuries can lead to anxiety and stress. It may be harder for your body to heal while battling legal problems with improper counsel. (Or, worse yet, trying to duke it out with an insurance company on your own.)

Successful cases require more than just experience: they also require resources. The Dickstein Law Firm has the resources you need for a successful case.

The Dickstein Law Firm can provide answers to the complex questions of what happened and why.           

The severity of your injuries may be clear to you. But do not expect the insurance company to take your word for it.

Even if your case settles out of court, you will still need proof. The two biggest hurdles in a personal injury claim are:

(1) Proof of your damages (injuries); and

(2) Proof that the other person caused them.

How will you prove the other person was at fault if they or their insurance company is denying responsibility for your injury? Are your medical documents “hearsay,” or will a judge allow them as evidence in court? What if the insurance company hires a doctor to examine you and pays that doctor to testify that you should have recovered by now but you still feel terrible?

Injuries to the human body can be complicated. If you suffered injuries, you might need a legal team that includes a medical expert to testify about the extent of your injuries and their cause. We may retain medical doctors and other experts to testify on your behalf. Expert testimony can bolster your case and challenge insurance company defenses that say your injuries are not serious or are unrelated to the accident.

You may also need a professional investigator, accident reconstructionist, or another expert witness to analyze the cause of the accident. Did a defective tire, seat belt, or other manufacturing defect make the injuries more severe than they should be? Was the other driver someone who should not have been behind the wheel? We can secure expert witnesses to answer these questions.

The Dickstein Law Firm knows how to command an insurance company’s attention.

Insurance companies like to hold onto their money. If they want to settle quickly, it is not necessarily because they are taking your case seriously. They may want to settle before you truly understand the full extent of your damages and the prognosis of your injuries so they can pay you less and close their file.

Our personal injury lawyers make sure your case accounts for all your damages, and we support our demand for damages with convincing evidence that establishes fault, liability, and the effects of the accident on your life and finances.

Hire a Swift-Acting Personal Injury Lawyer Sooner, Rather Than Later

Per Florida Statute § 95.11 you have only four years to settle an insurance claim or file a lawsuit after your accident. If it has been longer than four years, but you only recently learned of an injury, call The Dickstein Law Firm to see whether your case fits under Florida’s delayed discovery rule. 

If you believe you may have a wrongful death claim, the statute of limitations is two years, without the benefit of any discovery rule.

An attorney can advise you of the critical steps you will need to take following your accident. The sooner you hire a personal injury attorney, the better your chances are to preserve evidence and avoid innocent mistakes in your dealings with the insurance company.
