When the irresponsibility or violence of another person or entity causes you harm in St. Petersburg, let a Personal Injury Attorney help you get the compensation you deserve. You do not have to suffer alone — the lawyers at McDermott Law Firm, P.A. can help you build a defense.
When Should You Call a Personal Injury Attorney?
A Personal Injury Attorney deals with St. Petersburg cases in which you were physically harmed by another individual or party. Another entity can include a company, party, employer, or even your workplace. Accidents can happen just about anywhere and when you least expect them. If yours occurred as the direct result of someone else, whether intentional violence or the neglect to do something legally expected of them, you may be able to receive compensation for the suffering that you have endured as a direct result of the incident. Such cases may include:
- Slip and Fall
- Auto Accident
- Medical Malpractice
- Consumer Injuries
- Premises Liability
- Dog Bites or Attacks
If you are a responsible citizen or consumer striving to do the right thing in St. Petersburg, you should not have to pay for someone else’s carelessness. If you find yourself harmed unfairly due to the negligence of another, you need to have a professional on your side to help defend your case.
What Can a Personal Injury Attorney Do For Me?
When trying to prove the negligence of the other person or party, your Personal Injury Attorney will need to go through an involved legal procedure. The process may involve:
- Filing Forms. Your team at McDermott Law Firm, P.A. will make sure to fill out and submit required forms as the need for them comes up. Understanding the proper format and filing requirements for legal documents can mean the difference between resolving a case quickly or having it delayed unnecessarily.
- Gathering Necessary Proof. Evidence plays a significant role when it comes to building your case. Your advocate knows what will be required by insurance companies as well as what information they need to know to be satisfied. Also knowing what information to prepare for the judge is key to winning your case if it requires a hearing. Our firm will help to gather information that may be hard to track down on your own. We have access to many databases that the public does not, which allows us to gather much-needed evidence. Proof comes in many forms depending on your situation and can include surveillance footage, photographs, structural prints, witness statements, and more.
- Negotiating on Your Behalf. Negotiating is an art that frightens many people. Not knowing what a fair settlement is has caused many people in St. Petersburg to settle for much less than what is fair for their case. With our help, you have experienced negotiators helping you through the process to make sure that you are compensated fairly for your suffering.
- Attending Court and Trials. Not all cases will require a hearing, but if you must go to court, your Personal Injury Attorney will make sure that you are ready. We can help to prepare the evidence as well as your testimony to ensure that the judge and jury understand your case thoroughly.
Not only do we assist you in the financial and legal matters, but we are also here for you when other questions come up. Let us know what worries you, and we will help to find the best solution available.
