"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"

Statute of Limitations For Brain Injury Lawsuits in Florida

Our traumatic brain injury attorneys have a limited amount of time to work on your lawsuit. The statute of limitations will typically begin from the date of the accident and run for four years after the accident. 

However, if you are pursuing a wrongful death claim instead of a personal injury lawsuit, the statute of limitations could be as short as two years. It is common for people to be confused as to when the statute of limitations expires for their case. 

If this sounds like what you are going through, you are not alone. Fortunately, you could have your attorney go over the details of your case to give you a better understanding of how much longer you have to make a decision.

See a Doctor After Experiencing a Brain Injury

Nothing is more important than your health. Traumatic brain injuries may require both immediate and long-term treatment. Do not forgo or delay your medical care. It could lead to your injury worsening, and an insurer may try to undervalue or deny your claim. They may argue, for example, that you worsened your condition and contributed to your losses.

Furthermore, a doctor can help your Melbourne traumatic brain injury lawyer connect your injuries to another party’s negligence. They can also use your medical documents to assess your accident-related losses. For example, you may require ongoing medical care well into your future. You will want your settlement offer to reflect such future expenses so you do not end up footing the bill down the road.

Rebecca Collura

If you are reading this you may have been in a car accident which I am sure has disrupted your life as it did mine. Dealing with your insurance company will be impossible and their goal is to give you the least amount of money possible regardless of your injuries. It is a slow process and you have to be patient. Andrew Pickett will work extremely hard to get you enough money to take care of past and potential future expenses. He is extremely good at what he does and his support staff are attentive and responsive as well. Personally I wouldn't be a number at one of those big firms that advertise on TV. Andrew was completely involved in my case and took great care of me. Stay strong, I pray the pain will lessen for you, and let Andrew fight for you!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Rebecca! What a thoughtful review. It was an honor to represent you.
