How Your Florida Injury Lawyer Can Help

Putting the pieces of your life back together after an accident or instance or negligence is not easy. Our attorneys and staff members will guide you through every step of the process, helping you in ways that go far beyond simply handling your claim.

Of course, filing a successful claim is a major part of the process, and securing just compensation for our clients is at the heart of what we do. Here is what you can expect when you choose a Florida personal injury lawyer from Searcy Denney to represent you:

1. Assistance with Obtaining Professional Medical Care

In many cases, it can be difficult to find the right doctor to treat your injuries. If you are not sure where to go for medical treatment, we can provide you with solid information for doctors who specialize in your area of need. We do not send you to a specific doctor, we understand how important that relationship is and you must choose who treats you, but we will provide you with the information to help you make that choice.

2. Dealing with Your Employer

If you have missed work or expect to miss work in the future (or both), we can deal with your employer for you. Your injury attorney can explain to your employer why you are unable to perform your job duties, and we can help you take full advantage of the benefits you have available.

3. Dealing with Your Creditors

For many people, being unable to work due to an injury also means being unable to pay their bills. If your injuries cause you suffer financial strain, we may be able to assist with your creditors.

4. Filing Your Insurance Claim

Once you obtain a diagnosis and treatment and we have a comprehensive understanding of all of the various ways that your injuries will impact your life in the future and we will make those a part of our demand for payment to the at-fault party’s insurance company.

5. Negotiating with the Insurance Company

Once we file your claim, we will negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement. We will use the evidence to paint a clear picture of liability, and we will use your medical records, employment records, and other documentation to seek just compensation for all of your injury-related losses. This includes not only your losses to date but also the losses that we anticipate you will incur in the future.

6. Our Florida Injury Lawyers Will Advise You Regarding Settlement

If the insurance company offers a settlement, we will sit down with you to go over the offer and help you make an informed decision about resolving your claim. We will let you know if we think more is on the table, and we will discuss the potential outcomes involved in taking your case to court. This is your decision after consulting with us, and we will respect that decision.

7. Taking Your Case to Court

If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we will file a lawsuit in court. While this will mean preparing your case for the possibility of trial, we will continue to negotiate, and we regularly resolve our clients’ lawsuits via settlement prior to trial. We are skilled Florida injury trial lawyers, so if you want to proceed to trial, we will be there for you.

Why Clients Love Us See What People Are Saying

When the son of my parents (my brother) was killed by policeman and an apparent cover up was revealed, the lawyers of Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley provided the leadership that our family needed. During several of the most difficult days of our lives, they provided comfort, care, support and understanding as we grieved our loss. We would not hesitate to recommend this law firm again and again. We THANK YOU!

I would like to thank Carter Scott and his staff for all the hard work they put in to settle my case. Mr. Scott kept me and my husband informed about everything that was going on with my case. He called to make sure that we were okay and to see if we had any questions about what was going on the case. He provided us with excellent representation and I would recommend this firm to all my friends and family who need legal advise. Once again, I would like to thank Carter Scott and his staff.

Injury Claim FAQs Your Questions Answered by a Top Florida Personal Injury Lawyer

What is a personal injury claim?

When you are injured in an accident that is not your fault, you are entitled to receive financial compensation from the party that is liable for your injuries. You do this by filing a personal injury claim. As a practical matter, most personal injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations with the liable party’s insurance company. However, some cases go to court, and it is important to choose Florida personal injury lawyers who are willing to take your case to trial if necessary.

What types of personal injury claims does your firm handle?

Our firm has over 40 years of experience representing injured people. Our team of attorneys is equipped to handle all types of personal injury claims ranging from car crashes and truck accidents to complex medical malpractice cases. As one of the oldest existing injury law firms in the South Eastern United States, we have built a reputation for successfully litigating challenging cases against some of the largest corporations in the United States.

How long will it take to resolve my case?

It depends. Most personal injury claims are resolved through insurance settlements, and settlement negotiations can take anywhere from a few months to a year or longer. If our attorneys need to take your case to trial in the Florida courts, this can extend the duration of the process as well. While we cannot tell you how long your case will take, what we can tell you is that we will work diligently to achieve a favorable result as quickly as possible.

Will your personal injury legal practitioner negotiate a settlement?

Yes, if it is possible to do so, and if negotiating a settlement is in your best interests. While we understand that you want to resolve your case quickly, we also know that it is imperative that you not settle for too little too soon. It is ultimately up to you to decide when to settle, but we will let you know if we believe it is in your best interests to proceed toward trial.

How much do your Florida personal injury lawyers charge?

We charge a contingency fee that is commensurate with the fees charged by other Florida personal injury law firms. However, you only pay this fee if we win your case, and our fee will never be more than a fraction of your award.

Our Fee Promise:

No Recovery? You Owe Us Nothing. No Fees. No Costs.
