Do I Really Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
You aren’t required to hire a personal injury attorney to represent you in an injury claim, but it is generally in your best interest to do so. Accepting an insurance company’s settlement offer without consulting an attorney can lead to mistakes you can’t fix. For example, if an insurance company encourages you to settle a case quickly and you agree, you may lose out on compensation for costs you haven’t yet incurred. That means that if you find out later that you need surgery or additional expensive treatment, you may be on your own.
In a personal injury lawsuit, you’ll be expected to comply with all of the same complex and technical requirements as your personal injury lawyer would, from managing deadlines to submitting pleadings in appropriate format with the necessary information to state a claim to knowing how to authenticate evidence and get it admitted in court. Simple mistakes that anyone inexperienced with the Jacksonville legal system could make can seriously harm or even put an end to your case.
How an Injury Lawyer Can Help
When you retain our firm to represent you in a Florida injury case, your accident attorney will:
- Assess your case to identify all possible responsible parties
- Investigate as necessary to build the strongest possible case for you
- Monitor deadlines and take responsibility for procedural requirements
- Serve as a buffer between you and insurance companies that may not have your best interests at heart
- Hire and work with expert witnesses as necessary to establish your claims
- Identify, interview and prepare witnesses on your behalf
- Provide required information to opposing counsel and the court
- Collect information from the responsible party and others through a process called “discovery”
- Negotiate with the insurance company’s attorneys
- If it’s in your best interest, argue your case to a jury
While we manage those issues and more, you can focus on healing and rebuilding.

Damages in a Northside Jacksonville Personal Injury Case
No personal injury attorney can tell you exactly what your claim is worth, nor guarantee a specific result. In fact, Florida lawyers are prohibited from guaranteeing a result. If an attorney promises you that you will receive a certain amount in your personal injury case, you should probably seek out a different attorney.
That said, an experienced personal injury attorney who has handled similar cases in the same geographical area will have a good idea of the factors that will impact the value of your case. So, your personal injury lawyer can explain the strengths and weaknesses of your case, the types of damages that may be available, and what they’ve seen in personal injury cases similar to yours.
While every case is different, some of the types of damages that may be available in a Northside Jacksonville personal injury case include:
- Compensation for medical expenses and costs of rehabilitation
- Compensation for property lost or damaged in the incident
- Compensation for lost wages due to the injury
- Projected ongoing or future medical expenses due to the injury
- Projected lost future earnings or diminished earning capacity
- Intangible damages such as pain and suffering and loss of quality of life
