Hiring a Volusia County Drunk Driving Car Accident Lawyer Can Benefit Your Case
Choosing an attorney to represent you is a big decision. Ideally, your lawyer should have credible experience in handling personal injury cases. Your lawyer should also have trial experience so if your case goes before a jury, they can present a solid case on your behalf.
Most personal injury cases settle out of court, but it’s possible that yours could end up in a courtroom. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we aren’t afraid to take your case all the way if necessary.
Our law firm provides many other benefits, including:
- Empathy: We truly empathize with drunk driving victims, which is why founding partner Marc Anidjar supports Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). MADD is fighting to end drunk driving for good while providing valuable resources and support to drunk driving victims.
- Education: We understand that the legal process can be confusing. We will walk you through it every step of the way, so you always know the status of your case and how we plan to proceed.
- Evidence: We gather evidence as part of a thorough investigation of the accident, including police reports, medical records, eyewitness accounts, expert opinions, photographs, and video surveillance footage.
- Evaluation: We evaluate the damages that apply to you and determine the total value of your case, so we can demand a compensation amount that adequately covers your losses.
We also negotiate with the liable party and their insurance provider to reach a settlement on your behalf. If we reach a fair settlement, your attorney will explain the agreement to you and answer any questions you have before you sign it.
Drunk Driving Car Accident Injuries in Volusia County
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles confirms that drunk driving costs hundreds of lives every year. Survivors of drunk driving car accidents often have severe injuries that may impact them for the rest of their lives, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, paralysis, burns, broken bones, internal bleeding, and crush injuries.
It’s vital that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible after a drunk driving accident, even if you don’t think you have an injury. Some injuries don’t present symptoms until hours, days, or even weeks later.
Seeking medical attention also means that a doctor can document your injuries, which may become valuable evidence if you decide to file an insurance claim or lawsuit.
Act Soon Before It’s Too Late
Florida recently changed the statute of limitations for personal injury cases. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), you now only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. You also only have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).
If you do not meet the applicable deadline for your case, you will not be able to seek compensation through the Florida court system and you will lose the threat of going to court during settlement negotiations. Our firm can ensure that you meet the statute of limitations, so you don’t compromise your legal rights.
