    Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

    If you have ever tried to read an insurance policy, then you know how difficult it is to understand one. The law requires an insurer to tell you how much coverage a policy provides — but only if you ask. That is why you cannot count on insurance companies to add clarity.

    A Buckman & Buckman personal injury lawyer, however, can answer all of your questions and explain the details of your case. You can trust us to:

    • Seek every potential payment owed to you. One or more parties may be responsible for the accident that caused your personal injury. Identifying additional liable parties in your case means identifying additional insurance coverage that will be available to pay for the harm you have suffered. We have nearly 20 years of experience as a firm . We know how to establish liability in accidents, pore over insurance policies and pinpoint insurers’ obligations.
    • Provide personalized service. You will meet face-to-face with your Buckman & Buckman personal injury attorney at the start of your case and receive regular updates directly from the attorney. If you need particular assistance – such as help getting your car repaired or replaced after an accident — Buckman & Buckman will get it done. We can accept complex personal injury cases that larger law firms’ business models may require them to pass up. We take on insurance companies and large corporations to pursue justice for our clients.
    • Work relentlessly for you. Buckman & Buckman takes all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay a fee to us unless we obtain money for you. Our fee is an agreed-upon percentage of any settlement or court award we obtain in your case.

    At Buckman & Buckman, we know how insurance companies operate. We will not tolerate their tactics. We develop the facts behind our clients’ claims, identify liable parties and work tirelessly to pursue the compensation our clients deserve.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    1. What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident?

    First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos and gather contact information from witnesses. Then, contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your case and understand your legal options.

    2. How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

    A valid personal injury claim typically involves three key elements: negligence by another party, causation linking this negligence to your injury, and quantifiable damages resulting from the injury. An experienced personal injury attorney can help assess the strength of your case during a consultation.

    3. What types of compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?

    Compensation, or damages, can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and property damage. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish particularly egregious conduct.

    4. How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

    In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is four years from the date of the accident. However, this timeframe can vary based on specific circumstances, so it’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.

    5. Will my personal injury case go to trial?

    Most personal injury cases are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, it may be necessary to go to trial. Our firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial, ensuring we are ready to advocate for your best interests in court if needed.

    6. What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

    At Buckman & Buckman, P.A., we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs. Our fees are a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.

    7. How long will my personal injury case take?

    The duration of a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and the willingness of the other party to negotiate. Some cases may be resolved in a few months, while others may take several years. We strive to resolve cases efficiently while ensuring you receive the full compensation you deserve.

    8. Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

    Yes, Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

    9. What should I look for when choosing a personal injury attorney?

    Look for an attorney with experience in handling cases similar to yours, a track record of success, and a personal approach that makes you feel comfortable and supported. It’s also important to choose a lawyer who communicates clearly and prioritizes your best interests.

    10. How can I get started with my personal injury claim?

    Contact Buckman & Buckman, P.A. for a free consultation to discuss your case. We’ll review the details of your accident, answer any questions you have, and provide guidance on the next steps to take in pursuing your claim.
