Welcome to my blog
You are reading my first blog post. I want to make some commitments so you will know what to expect. First, I am a plaintiff's personal injury trial attorney. I am proud to help the average Joes, the Bubbas, the crackers, the little guys. So my bias is definitely for them. I am prejudiced against Big Business and against Insurance companies. I am amazed so many of my clients in their first appointments often say, "I'm not the kind of person who sues, but..." You don't need to apologize anymore. I understand.
Some of my first couple of posts will discuss the basics of personal injury practice. Bread and butter stuff like:
* "How do we find out if there is any insurance without filing a lawsuit?"
* "Who pays if there is no insurance?"
* "Why does my own insurance company have to pay when I did not do anything wrong?"
I will keep my style plain and simple. No 25 cent words when a 5 cent word will do. I can write a memorandum of law but this is not the time or place for that.
I will provide crisp, no nonsense and cutting edge insight into current legal issues.There are thousands of great lawyers who BLOG. Sometimes I will refer to other legal blogs if they are entertaining, humorous, and informative. I will concentrate on Florida issues of law, but reserve the right to provide commentary on all significant current legal issues no matter where they occur or what they are about.
Sometimes I will comment on quirks of life. Things that are so strange that they cannot be made up. They remind us we are human, and stuff happens. If we weren't human mistakes would not happen. I'll explain the difference between negligence and accidents. For now, just know that the law allows a person who has been injured due to the negligence of another to recover his damages. But if it was just an accident, there is no payday.
And how big is the payday? That is always one of the important questions. I'll do my best to take the guessing off the table.
