Erjavec Injury Law in Lakewood Ranch, FL is a top law firm with specialization in personal injury law. We have a team of lawyers and staff who are personal injury experts. In an effort to assist you in fully understanding your Florida personal injury matter, we have answered some of the common FAQs many people have. While this list is intended to be used as an informative tool, the best way to gain answers to your specific questions is to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer.
First, you must realize what you’re up against when you’ve been injured and you intend to file a claim. Many insurance companies are multi-billion dollar corporations that have teams of adjusters, investigators and attorneys that are very skilled at minimizing the amount of your claim by taking possession of the crucial evidence, obtaining conflicting witness statements on liability and speaking with you about your injuries before you have an opportunity to fully assess them. By hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer you gain an advocate who knows your rights, will accurately assess the value of your claim, and will fight for maximum compensation on your behalf.
Determining the exact value of a personal injury case can be very difficult because different factors can carry various amounts of weight. Some of the criteria used in evaluating the value of a personal injury case may include: the facts of the incident, injuries sustained, amount of medical bills, medical opinions regarding permanency of injuries, future care required, previous medical history, the amount of insurance available, and any aggravating factors such as drunk driving.
Our law firm works solely on a contingency fee basis. This means that our legal fee is only a percentage of the amount we recover for our clients. Therefore, our clients pay nothing up front and if we do not recover anything for them, they owe us nothing.
Since each individual case is different, there is no way to accurately predict how long it will take to resolve a case. However, most cases that are resolved pre-suit take anywhere from 9 months to a year while other instances where a lawsuit is filed typically take 2 to 4 years to resolve.
In dealing with tort claims, the state of Florida proscribes to a pure comparative negligence system. This means an individual is entitled to recover the amount of damages attributed to the negligence of others, even if they are deemed to be partially liable for the incident.

"I hired Matt almost three years ago when I was hit on my motorcycle by a careless driver. I spent the next two years going through ten surgeries and going from wheel chair to crutch to cane. I was at a place in my life I couldn't care for myself and I needed a lot of medical attention. Matt handled all my needs and was a real person when I needed someone to talk to. He went above and beyond the job. He came to the hospital , to my home and set up dr visits for me when I couldn't do it myself. My life was taken away from me and for a long time I wondered if I'd ever get it back. I watched myself transform from a successful young man into a destroyed handicap person. Matt assured me it would be alright and fought for me when the insurance tried to give me as little as possible . I had so many surgeries I watched my life I once knew turn into a new life of complete misery. I couldn't imagine what it would of been like in my condition had I hired another attorney. I felt like Matt was trustworthy and honest with me through the legal battle and in the end my expectations were met. Mind you a legal proceeding is not an overnight journey, it takes time and who you hire is a BIG DEAL! It took years of hell and patience but Matt never pressured me to sell myself short or settle for his benefit. Through the entire legal procedure he looked out for my best interest. I was a very needy client and my injuries are very serious. Had I not hired Matt I doubt I'd of gotten the personal attention from an attorney or the settlement I received. I am very grateful to Matt Erjavec ! Matt if you're reading this thank you for watching over me through the legal proceedings and getting me an unbelievable settlement. I will never forget your service! You're a one of a kind attorney and people would be crazy not to hire you."

“Working with an attorney who had our best interest in mind was a blessing to my wife and I. This firm was thorough with the insurance companies and were also available to answer any questions that we had. It was apparent that they knew the best ways to deal with the insurance companies. Our compensation was above and beyond our expectations. Look no further.”

“My husband and I were injured in a car accident last year in Florida. We were on vacation and wound up in the hospital instead of on the beach! We decided to have Erjavec Law represent us. They were knowledgeable and took care of the things that we would not have been able to handle on our own. We are grateful that we used them, that we got to deal with the actual attorney instead of an assistant, and that we got a great settlement. We would recommend them to anyone!”
-Kudzu Reviewer
“Erjavec Law was absolutely great to work with. I have worked with other Bradenton car accident lawyers in the past and they were not nearly as knowledgeable and professional as Matt and his team. I would recommend Erjavec Law to anybody who has been injured in a Bradenton car accident”
