How much is my auto accident case worth?

This question is difficult to answer as it depends on many factors:

· If someone else's negligence caused the auto accident and resulted in injuries, one of our lawyers can help you obtain any payment you are entitled to for your medical bills plus compensation for pain and suffering. This would include past and future medical bills.

· If you were seriously injured and missed time from work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages or loss of earning capacity in the future. Our proven Miami, Florida auto accident lawyers can help you retain such compensation. The firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg currently has approximately 1,500 active Florida Workers' Compensation cases.

There is no proven formula to determine exactly how much a case is worth. It will depend on how the evidence and testimony dictate the case. Because of our record of trying these types of cases, our firm is able to determine a general value for your claim. One of our Miami, Florida auto accident / motorcycle lawyers will obtain medical records and bills and will analyze the client's condition pre and post injury in order to provide an estimated value.

How long will it take to bring my auto accident case to a conclusion?

The complexity of the accident as well as the particular injuries sustained will determine the time frame of the outcome. We resolve our client's cases based on an understanding of their current and future medical conditions. Once our law firm becomes involved, the average car or auto accident case is resolved within eight to 12 months.

I have full coverage, why am I not covered?

Full coverage, while it can mean a variety of things, does not automatically imply that bodily injury is covered. Contact your insurance company for clarification on your insurance coverage.

Does my auto insurance cover my motorcycle accident?

Many motorcycle owners believe that they will be covered by their automobile insurance if they are involved in a crash. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In Florida, insurance is not required for the owner and rider of a motorcycle. Furthermore, the PIP coverage a motorcycle owner may have on his car will not cover the owner if injured on a motorcycle. Our Miami, Florida auto accident and motorcycle lawyers can help answer more of your questions concerning your motorcycle accident.

What are the MMI and permanent impairment rating?

At the conclusion of your treatment with a doctor, our Hollywood, Florida car and motorcycle accident lawyers will request a final narrative of your condition. Once your physician has decided you are at Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), some doctor's assign, and insurance company's request, a permanent impairment rating. It does not mean that you are back to the physical or mental condition you were at prior to the accident. It simply means your condition has stabilized and you have a loss. This is generally done pursuant to American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines. A permanent impairment rating technically is not called for as a basis at trial in an automobile case, but many automobile insurance companies like to have the impairment rating so they can evaluate the case.

Florida Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

South Florida Motorcycle Accident Injury Attorneys – Law Offices of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. When a motorcyclist is involved in a collision with an automobile or truck, the result is almost always a serious injury. One of the most respected motorcycle accident attorneys in Florida, Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. has helped many motorcyclists obtain just compensation from those responsible for such accidents. If you or someone you love has been involved in a motorcycle accident while riding a sportbike, a Harley, or any other type of motorcycle, please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today for a review of your case. Whether you are suffering the financial hardships of a serious personal injury or watching someone you love endure the agony of a traumatic brain injury, our attorneys in Florida can help you achieve the justice you deserve. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Disfigurement Fatal Injuries Fractures Road Rash Spinal Cord Injuries Wrongful Death Defective Equipment Hazardous Road Conditions Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) It is legal in the State of Florida for those over the age of 20 to operate a motorcycle without a helmet. However, insurance companies may attempt to shift the blame from the at-fault driver to the motorcyclist, and argue that the motorcyclist contributed to his or her injury by not wearing a helmet, even when the accident was not their fault. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident and were not wearing a helmet, you need an experienced motorcycle attorney to handle your case. Failure to wear a helmet makes motorcyclists particularly vulnerable to traumatic brain injury, or TBI, in the event of an accident. TBI is a serious brain injury that can affect personality, speech, cognitive thinking, motor skills, and all other abilities. Many patients with a TBI are no longer able to work; most of those require full-time care and suffer extreme financial hardships as a result of mounting medical bills. The emotional trauma resulting from such brain injuries often affects the victim’s family, as well. In many cases, accidents that result in such serious injuries as TBI are the fault of reckless or negligent automobile or truck drivers. If someone you love has sustained a traumatic brain injury, our attorneys in South Florida may be able to help you. Contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. for a review of your case today. Disfigurement Because motorcyclists do not have the impact-reducing shell that automobile drivers have to protect them during accidents, motorcycle riders are at increased risk for severe injury. Hard falls, collision impact, bone breaks, burns, and other injuries can cause permanent disfigurement. This disfigurement is not only emotionally difficult to accept, but it can also affect the victim’s ability to perform job duties, interact comfortably in social situations, and even complete daily tasks. It can ultimately lead to severe depression or the inability to function normally. If you or a loved one has been disfigured in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys in South Florida may be able to help you obtain compensation for your pain, suffering, and other damages. Please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today for an evaluation of your case. Fatal Injuries Distracted, aggressive drivers are prevalent on our highways, and accidents are an everyday occurrence. Often, these accidents involve motorcycle riders. While many of these accidents prove to be minor, many others ultimately result in fatal injuries. If you have lost a loved one as a result of someone else’s negligence or recklessness, our motorcycle accident attorneys in South Florida can help. Even if you are not sure whether the other driver was at fault, please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. for a review of your case. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. is one of the most experienced motorcycle accident attorneys in Florida and is ready to help you and your family in your time of need. Fractures A fall during a motorcycle accident can result in any number of debilitating injuries, including road rash, sprains, cuts, and fractures. Bone fractures are particularly painful and require a lengthy recovery. Having to wear a cast can seriously affect your ability to go about your daily activities. You might be unable to perform your job duties, exercise, or participate in recreational activities. You may also lose the ability to drive. If you or a loved one has suffered a fracture in a motorcycle accident, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. in the South Florida area may be able to help. We are experienced in all areas of personal injury law and will build the strongest case possible to ensure that those at fault are made to answer for their negligence. Road Rash A common injury for motorcycle accident victims, “road rash” consists of severe bruises, cuts, and scraps usually acquired from sliding across the asphalt. While many motorcyclists wear special attire such as thick, durable denim or leather, they are still susceptible to these painful skin injuries. While the cuts and scrapes can be minor, if left untreated or infection develops, “road rash” can become more serious. Although many motorcyclists wear clothing made of such thick, durable materials as denim or leather, they are still susceptible to painful skin injuries when they are involved in an accident. Known collectively as “road rash,” injuries such as bruises, skinned knees, and wounds with gravel in them can become serious if an infection develops or if they go untreated. Road rash can also be traumatic in cases of high-speed crashes. If you or someone you love has suffered road rash in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys in Hollywood, Florida would be pleased to review your case absolutely free. Please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today. Spinal Cord Injuries Among the most debilitating of all injuries, spinal cord injuries are almost always long-term and result in permanent injuries in most cases. A majority of victims require full-time care and will never be able to work again. Many motorcycle accidents resulting in spinal cord injuries are caused by someone else’s negligent or careless driving. If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. may be able to help you obtain compensation for your damages. Please contact our attorneys in Hollywood / Ft. Lauderdale / Miami/ Miami-Dade / Pompano / Palm Beach / Orlando or anywhere in Florida, for a FREE review of your case. Wrongful Death The loss of a loved one is traumatic enough, but when that loss is someone else’s fault, the pain is intensified. A drunk driver who kills a motorcyclist, an inattentive semi-truck driver who collides with a motorcyclist, or a hit-and-run driver can all be held liable in cases of wrongful death. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or recklessness of another driver, please contact our motorcycle accident attorneys in Florida today for an evaluation of your case. The Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. may be able to help you obtain compensation for your damages. Defective Equipment Although motorcycles are subjected to rigorous safety tests, substandard equipment is sometimes made available to the public. Defective tires, brakes, and other motorcycle parts can cause riders to lose control of their bikes, putting them at serious risk for injury or even death. Defective helmets fail to protect motorcyclists from head injury, including traumatic brain injury. Our attorneys in Florida have helped many motorcycle accident victims and their families obtain compensation from those responsible for faulty equipment. If you or a loved one has been injured due to defective motorcycle equipment, please contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today. Hazardous Road Conditions Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to injury than any other driver on the road. When unduly hazardous road conditions exist, the likelihood of a motorcycle rider suffering a substantial injury increases dramatically. Unmarked areas of road construction, surfaces that freeze quickly and aren’t marked with warning signs, slippery roads, dangerous speed limits, and unmarked curves can all contribute to motorcycle accidents. If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident due to hazardous road conditions, our attorneys in Florida may be able to help you obtain damages for your pain, suffering, and losses. Contact the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. if you have any questions or would like for us to review your case. For further information regarding motorcycle accident injury cases, including those involving wrongful death and traumatic brain injury, contact the attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg at the law firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. today.
