Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer is a decision you should consider if you have suffered serious injuries or find yourself facing complex legal rules associated with your personal injury claim. An attorney’s initial job is to demand and negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If an agreement cannot be reached outside of court, your personal injury lawyer will file an injury lawsuit and represent your interests before a judge or jury.

You are not sure who is at-fault.

Many accidents involve multiple parties who may be liable for your injuries. For example, car and motorcycle accidents may be attributed to government entities responsible for road conditions or the negligence of a manufacturer whose defective part contributed to a crash. In these situations, expert testimony and analysis is required to win. Our firm will investigate your accident and pursue compensation from any responsible party including those companies and government entities, or even property owners and employers.

You do not want to settle for less than your case is worth.

Multiple factors are used to calculate the value of a personal injury claim. This may include measurable amounts of money such as medical bills and lost wages as well as more complex losses including pain and emotional trauma. Insurance companies often minimize your settlement amount or deny it entirely to reduce their losses. Hiring a Tampa Bay personal injury lawyer can protect you from these common practices and help maximize your settlement.

You have questions about the legal process.

Insurance companies do not want you to ask for help. Handling your own case requires an understanding of the legal foundations of your claim as well as the settlement process. To receive a fair settlement, you will need negotiation skills combined with knowledge of both statutory laws and case law. Some injury cases even require experts to prove and determine fault. The at-fault party’s insurance company will likely employ trial lawyers with skills that will make it difficult for you to get what you deserve. The Fran Haasch Law Group works with accident reconstruction and medical experts in Tampa Bay to ensure that you are fairly compensated.

Your recovery prevents you from pursuing your claim.

Even if you suffered significant injuries, you could still pursue your own claim without a personal injury attorney if you have dozens of hours per week to tackle your own case. However, most victims who have suffered a severe car or motorcycle accident have little time and energy to devote to managing a legal claim. Even with experienced representation, personal injury lawsuits take an average of one to two years to get to trial. When you hire a Tampa Bay personal injury lawyer, you have more time to focus on your recovery.

The Tampa Bay Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyer Committed to Protecting Bikers’ Rights

Recovering compensation for injured motorcyclists is no easy feat. Florida state regulations can complicate insurance claims, and riders may face jury bias if their case goes to trial. Despite the fact that the majority of motorcycle accidents are a result of distracted driving from motorists in cars and trucks, bikers suffer disproportionately from severe injuries and fatalities on the road. This means it is critical to work with a leading Tampa Bay motorcycle accident injury lawyer who has experience winning cases for riders and their families.

At The Fran Haasch Law Group, we support the Tampa Bay biker community both personally and professionally. We have handled countless motorcycle accident claims in Clearwater, Palm Harbor and Tampa and know the strategies insurance companies will use to avoid rewarding full compensation. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident and were not at-fault, you may be able to recover damages for your losses.

Cases We Handle

If you have suffered any injury by no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation. Whether you experienced a car accident or a slip and fall incident, a Tampa Bay personal injury lawyer from The Fran Haasch Law Group will work to help you recover and restore balance to your life.

What is The Time Limit for Filing a Claim?

Florida has a four-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases. This means that you have four years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you may lose your right to recover. You can ensure that your claim is filed on time by contacting a Tampa Bay personal injury lawyer from The Fran Haasch Law Group as soon as possible after your accident.

What Are the Lawyer Fees for Personal Injury Cases in Tampa Bay?

We operate on a contingency fee. This means that no money is paid upfront. Instead, injured clients who need access to legal counsel, but have no funds to pay for a personal injury lawyer in their area, can still receive essential legal assistance when they need it most. Lawyers collect payment as a percentage of a successful settlement.

How We're Giving Back

At The Fran Haasch Law Group, giving back to the community isn’t just spouting hollow words or writing a check. Inspired by her grandmother and dad — WWII refugees who survived because of the generosity of strangers — Fran’s devotion to helping others and changing lives is part of her DNA. Whether it’s feeding the homeless, buying prosthetics for disabled veterans, finding furever homes for rescue animals or bringing backpacks filled with supplies and tablets to elementary schools, offering a hand to those in need is woven into every aspect of our firm’s culture.

What Damages are Available in a Personal Injury Case?

If you were injured by someone else’s negligence, then you may be able to recover damages for your losses. Although the awards are monetary, how that amount is calculated can be based on both measurable numbers and losses that cannot be measured. The three basic types of damages include economic losses, non-economic losses, and punitive damages. While no amount of money can ever justify another’s negligent conduct or undo the harm you have endured, a successful personal injury claim can provide you with the resources to help you recover.

Economic Losses

These are designed to compensate you for financial losses, including:

Lost wages
Medical care
Property damage
Household service costs
Loss of future earning capacity

Non-Economic Losses

These are difficult to quantify since they cover intangible losses, including

Pain and suffering, both physically, mentally, and emotionally
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement or physical impairment

Punitive Damages

In Florida, the idea behind punitive damages is to punish the at-fault party either for knowing that they were intentionally acting in disregard for the safety of others or punishing an individual for their indifference to another’s safety and life. Punitive damages also sometimes serve to deter others from engaging in the same behaviors. A Tampa Bay personal injury lawyer from The Fran Haasch Law Group understands when punitive claim actions are warranted and when there is not a reasonable basis to bring a punitive damage claim. We fight to maximize the amount our clients are awarded and to punish wrongdoers when necessary.
