At Harris Law Group, there are certain accident and injury claims we almost never accept. Here is a list: Minor impact collisions. Bumps and scratches on your vehicle do not make a good case in a Sarasota or Bradenton motor vehicle accident claim. Insurance companies rarely offer decent settlements in those cases, and the cost of litigating the case (lawyer’s time and money) far exceeds any potential recovery. So it is just impracticable for us to handle from an economic standpoint. Significant prior pain, treatment or surgery to a body part you are now claiming was injured in your accident. One or two prior surgeries to the same body part, in most but not all cases, will not result in a significant settlement or verdict in a Sarasota County or Manatee County car accident personal injury claim. Other prior accidents that could explain the injury you now claim. Age could be a factor for declining your case if your injury is consistent with natural aging process as opposed to a traumatic event or accident. Accidents that happened over a year ago, but there are exceptions so we will still look at your case for free. Also, we never take cases in circumstances where the statute of limitations is about to expire. This is four years in most automobile and slip/fall claims in Sarasota or Bradenton, Florida. Accidents where you got the traffic ticket or citation. Again, we might still be willing to look at your case if you challenge the ticket in traffic court and win. Claims that have been asserted by a prior attorney. We like to work cases up our way, and with the passage of time, and other attorneys involved, it may prejudice our usual tactics or strategy. Also, not getting along with your prior attorney is a red flag to us that you could be a difficult client. People who have a criminal history, especially when that history involves truthfulness and honesty. If you feel you have none of the above red flags, complete the form below for a free evaluation of your Sarasota or Bradenton car accident injury claim. Subscribe to Posts by Email
