Why Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer in Clearwater for My Case?

There is no law prohibiting a person from representing themselves if they are in injured in a car accident. However, there are numerous reasons why it is not a good idea to represent yourself and why it will benefit you to hire an experienced car accident lawyer in Clearwater to handle your personal injury claim. Here are just some of those reasons:

Do you know the law? An attorney who is experienced in handling car accident cases knows the law applicable to your injury case and is therefore in a far better position to argue the law to the insurance adjusters involved.
Do you know when to settle your case? Insurance adjusters will try to get away with offering you as little money as possible for your injury claim when you represent yourself. They may also try to get you to settle your case prematurely and prior to your even realizing the full extent of your injuries and damages. Settling an accident case too soon could result in big regrets down the road.
Do you have any realistic idea what your injury case could be worth? The experienced car accident lawyer in Clearwater will be in a position to advise you as to the realistic value of your claim based upon the liability issues involved, the type of injuries you have, past and future medical treatment and the cost of same, past and future loss of income, etc. This is because the car accident lawyer has the experience to know what insurance companies typically pay for similar injuries and what the possible outcomes could be if your case ends up in court and at a jury trial.
Will you be in a position to obtain the necessary opinions from your treating doctors to support your claim when you present it to the insurance adjuster? A car accident lawyer in Clearwater will be able to communicate on your behalf with your treating doctors and obtain the opinions necessary to convince the insurance companies to make a reasonable settlement offer on your claim.
Were any of your bills covered by health insurance? If you receive a settlement in a personal injury case from the insurance company, there may be liens placed against the settlement monies by your health insurance company (and/or the government if you have Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, etc.). If these liens are not paid or handled properly when settling your injury claim, you could potentially jeopardize your entitlement to future health insurance coverage and/or governmental benefits. Even some hospitals have the right to impose a lien against your settlement funds. Hiring the experienced car accident lawyer in Tampa or Clearwater is the best protection to ensure that your health insurance coverage stays in force and that you will not be subjected to a lawsuit by a lienholder.
Do you know what type of experts you will need on your case? Your experienced personal injury lawyer will hire the consultants and experts necessary to process and prepare your case, such as engineers, vocational rehabilitation experts, economists, accident reconstruction experts, etc.

If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, hiring an experienced car accident lawyer in Clearwater or Tampa to represent you as soon as possible is the best course of action you can take to protect your legal rights and maximize your recovery.

I cant express my thanks enough to Paula for all the help she gave me while i was going thru a injury claim. She was very understanding when i first met with her, she explained the process of how the claim would go and that it could take some time to get thru...

In the last week I was referred by a friend to Roman & Roman after two firms wouldn't take my case. I was in a bad auto accident my first week back to work from maternity leave. I couldn't be more stressed out. Mike Lentini and his assistant, Darlene, worked on my personal injury claim. I couldn't be happier with the service they provided or the outcome of my case. What a relief!

My auto accident was handled awesomely, had received great advice from Paula Roman, everything situation was handled with ease from repair of auto, surgery, and the settlement. Will definitely use them again if need should arise.

Thank You Roman & Roman for all of your help with our case. Paula you were so wonderful taking care of this complicated case. We Thank You for all of your hard work. If we ever need you again, we will call you first. Choose Roman & Roman, you won't regret it.

I had a wonderful experience with Roman & Roman. Paula Roman was amazing! She was very kind and on point! She worked very diligently on my case. Anytime I would have a question she would respond very quickly, and if she didn't her paralegal did. I was very happy with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Roman & Roman to anyone who has been in a car accident, and I will be back in the future if I ever need a lawyer again. 10 Stars all around :)

I had a fantastic experience with Roman and Roman as my attorney for my car accident case. They came to me referred by my parents. The morning after my accident I was in Paula's office getting the ball rolling. Paula Roman and her assistant Crystal were there for me every step of the way, explaining what the next step in the process was, answering my emails promptly and answering any questions I had. If I ever get into an accident again (I hope not!) I know who's office I'll be going to.

My roommate Karissa and I contacted Roman & Roman after we were in a car wreck. Mike Lentini was amazing and so was Darlene. The case went so quick and we were amazed at how quickly everything seemed to turn out. Even with the bumps in the road, they were awesome and amazing to work with. I am so glad that we contacted them...

Paula Roman did a great job helping my daughter win a settlement from a car accident. She always was available when I needed her and worked hard to get the best results. I highly recommend her.

Excellent!. They handled my case very effectively and the results were just what was needed. I would recommend their services!!

" I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LAW FIRM TO ANYONE SEEKING EXCELLENT ATTORNEYS." My first meeting at Roman & Roman I knew I made the right decision. I interviewed several other law firms before I went to Roman & Roman, and I knew at that moment I didn't want any other law firm to represent me. All the attorneys there are experienced, professional, reliable, and overall just excellent.

I had the unfortunate luck of being the victim in a car accident. When I reached out to Roman and Roman for help, their attorneys immediately did so by finding me a doctor who treated me for my injuries. They also helped me with the property damage and depreciation value of my car. I was very pleased with the outcome of my personal injury claim and highly recommend their firm.

I needed a lawyer for an injury accident and, during a google search, I came upon the Roman & Roman Firm which is close to my studio so I contacted them. I give them two giant thumbs up!! Not only did they settle my claim to my complete satisfaction, they completed it in seven months! That is great service my friends.

Hard-working, dependable attorney. Mike was referred by a friend who knew him in law school. My automobile accident was a very difficult one because it included injuries to both my 92 year old mom and me. Mike had the patience, diligence and determination to see the case to fruition. He was able to explain the situation clearly, in layman terms, so I could make sound decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend him as an honest, sincere attorney.

Great Lawyer, Highly Recommend. I've used Mike on several occasions, and have always had the same exceptional service. The biggest difference between him and other lawyers was his alacrity. With other lawyers in the past, it seemed like I was pulling teeth to get updates on my case, but not Mike. He always kept me informed as to what he was doing and what the next step was.

Fair & Fast Settlement!. I needed a lawyer for an injury accident and, during a google search, I came upon the Roman & Roman Firm which is close to my studio so I called them and left a message. Michael Lentini returned my call the same afternoon and invited me to come in right away. That was only seven months ago and my case is already closed! I give him two thumbs up

Lease Agreement. Mr. Lentini did an excellent job helping me review a lease agreement for rental property. His review of the lease agreement was very thorough, to ensure that the arrangements made would be in my favor. When I had questions about the lease, Mr. Lentini personally responded quickly back to emails and phone calls I placed. Overall, I felt that Mr. Lentini was professional, accessible, and genuinely cared about a positive outcome for me.

We were so happy this office was very convenient . They were able to accommodate us as we were on vacation from out of town. They kept us updated throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this office to my family and friends. Thank you !!!

... You won't find genuine people like them often. You will always hear rumors throughout your life that lawyers will "screw you over" or are "rude as hell" but none of these things are true with Roman and Roman!

I hired Roman and Roman to review Real Estate sales contract. Selected them because they were listed with BBB. Extremely pleased with how they communicated, followed thru and helped my family successfully complete the sale of our parents home.This client had a POSITIVE experience with this business.This client WOULD recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague
