What Can a Personal Injury Attorney Do to Help Me?
A personal injury attorney’s main role is to represent victims of an accident caused by someone else. He or she works in a practice area known as tort law and can be instrumental in helping a client recover compensation through a civil lawsuit for personal injury.
A personal injury attorney is knowledgeable in tort law and can handle almost all aspects of a case on behalf of the client–from phone calls with insurance adjusters to paperwork and even in a court trial. He or she will also help strengthen the client’s case by conducting an independent investigation of the scene of the accident and bringing in expert witnesses when necessary. Because negotiation skills come naturally to attorneys such as the ones at Jiles Law, P.A., an attorney can also negotiate out-of-court settlements while protecting the client from well-known tactics insurance companies use to reduce the value of a claim or deny it altogether.

How Can I Get Compensated After an Accident That Wasn’t My Fault?
Trying to understand where the money will come from after an accident resulting from negligent or reckless actions of another person or entity can be a complex task, at times. Most cases involve the at-fault party’s insurance company and will require filing an insurance claim. This often happens with car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and other motor vehicle accidents, in which the at-fault driver’s insurance will be responsible for providing compensation through an insurance pre-lawsuit settlement.
However, some cases are not so straightforward. Accidents involving a commercial truck, for example, can be more complex as more than one party may be at fault for the crash and thus multiple insurance claims may need to be filed. At Jiles Law, P.A., we can help you understand who is financially liable for your particular case and what steps need to be taken for you to obtain compensation for your accident.
Client Success Stories
Should I Accept the First Offer From the Insurance Company?
It is quite common for clients to tell us that they are receiving frequent calls from an insurance company after their accident. The one thing to keep in mind is that even if the insurance adjuster may seem friendly and act as if they are sympathetic and on your side, they are really looking for ways to get you to say something that will indicate you were partially responsible for the accident and thus not eligible to receive full compensation.
Another common tactic is for an insurance company to quickly come up with a settlement offer that is low and does not reflect the true extent of the damages you are dealing with after the accident. Paying out large settlements is not in their best interest, so they will work to pressure victims into settling their claims as quickly as possible and for the smallest amount of money possible. Regardless of what they tell you, you have no legal obligation to accept their initial offer. Always talk to your attorney before accepting a settlement offer or making any decisions. If you turn down their initial offer, they will need to come back with a better number, and your attorney can help you during the negotiation process to ensure you get maximum compensation.

What Happens if I Am Partially Responsible for My Accident?
The state of Florida allows victims to recover compensation for an accident even if they are partially responsible for what happened. For example, if you were a pedestrian making an illegal crossing on a busy street and were hit by a driver who did not try to stop or swerve because they were texting while driving and not paying attention, it may be determined that you are 30% at fault for your accident. This means that you can still recover damages but your final payout will be discounted by 30%. This is called comparative negligence.
If you believe you are partially at fault for your accident, it is important to be honest with your attorney and share all the details about what happened. Your attorney’s job is to protect your interests, work to reduce your percentage of liability, and advise you on what you should and should not tell the insurance company during this process. Even something as innocent as apologizing for the accident can be used against you later on, so talk to your attorney to understand how to avoid these costly mistakes.
