Having a qualified and professional personal injury lawyer in Boca Raton, FL after an accident is essential in getting the compensation you deserve. It’s common that an injury may seem minor at first and then at a later date, manifest into a more severe medical problem or result in a chronic pain issue that can last years or even a lifetime. We urge those injured in an accident to seek immediate and comprehensive medical attention. There is nothing more important than you receiving the best possible medical care during this difficult period.

Time is also of the essence after an accident injury to seek qualified legal advice.

The Process to receive compensation for your accident injuries
Following an accident, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney about the specific circumstances of your case, including:
• Whether the negligence of another party was involved
• If there is a defendant from whom you seek compensation
• The extent and severity of your injuries
• Insurance coverage of counter-parties involved
• Your current and potential future medical costs
• Witnesses and police reports regarding your incident
• Your legal options

Investigation of Your Case
If and when you retain our firm as counsel, your attorney will fully investigate your personal injury claim; including police reports, the accident scene photographs, witness testimony, medical records and bills, your employment history and earning power, and more.
When appropriate, your attorney should collaborate with accident reconstruction experts, medical experts and other professionals in a variety of fields depending on the circumstances of your accident and injuries. Your attorney will examine the possible defenses of the opposing party and determine liability.

Demand Package
This step involves a demand for settlement, including a demand letter outlining your case, liability and damages (injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of life’s enjoyment and future medical care).
The letter is then reviewed by the opposing party, be it an individual, business and /or insurance company. In response to the letter, the opposing party will generally either reject the demand, make a counteroffer or accept it. The demand letter is often the most important first impression you will make on the opposing party. Articulating your case in the demand letter is essential in pursuing the most favorable outcome for your case.

Case Mediation
Before or after a lawsuit is filed, a mediator – often a current or former judge – may oversee mediation between the parties in an effort to avoid trial. Mediation is simply an informal proceeding in which the parties attempt to reach an agreement in the matter. The steps one makes in mediation can have long-lasting effects in a case.
We have extensive experience with mediation and handling negotiations and have extensive experience successfully mediating high-value cases.

Trial and Appeal
If the matter has not been settled or resolved by the court via motion, the next phase of a case is trial. In this process, a decision-maker – often a jury – will evaluate the facts, determine fault and possibly award damages. John A Willis is a highly experienced trial lawyer. While there can never be any guarantees when a case goes to a jury, we have a track-record of success we bring to the table in the trial context.
Depending on the specific issues in the case, the losing party may appeal a case. The appellate process can be quite different from the trial process. We understand this process and will give you guidance under this circumstance.

Bicycle Accidents
Most bike accidents occur at or near intersections, when drivers don’t obey right-of-way rules and hit cyclists that are following the laws. Cyclists also more frequently collide with cars are when they emerge from between parked or stopped cars. Accidents in parking lots or on smaller side streets are also frequent.
While cyclists do have the responsibility of following traffic laws as do cars, it seems that it’s often drivers that disobey traffic laws, resulting in injuries to a bicycle rider. Frequently a motorist doesn’t realize that he must allow a cyclist to proceed as though the cyclist were another motor vehicle, which can result in a crash.
