Assistance From Our Cypress Lakes Personal Injury Attorneys at Kogan & DiSalvo

We cover the ins and outs of your claim so you don’t have to sweat the small details. We’ll put the most stressful parts on our shoulders and carry you to the finish line.

Free Case Review

We start with a complimentary evaluation that allows us to get to know you as a person and understand the facts of your case. Once you hear our perspective on what strategy to use, you can choose whether you want to partner with us.

Evidence Collection 

From there, our trained staff works to gather evidence. We review it to determine all liable parties and explore every possible avenue for compensation. Our team also collects proof of your losses to prevent the other side from unfairly minimizing your claim. 

Help With Paperwork 

Filling personal injury suits can involve mountains of paperwork for submission. Our office handles the bulk of these items for you. 

Regular Updates

You deserve to stay informed every step of the way. We keep you in the loop and guide you through the timeline. You can always reach out to us with your questions and concerns.

Scheduling Assistance

Failing to get full medical evaluations and treatment can negatively impact your claim. Our staff provides helpful reminders to help you stay on top of necessary healthcare visits that strengthen your case.

Communication and Negotiation

With our strategy in place, negotiations can begin. This can be the most challenging aspect for injured people who try to handle the personal injury process on their own. Insurance companies scrutinize every detail in an effort to give the lowest payout possible. They also use sophisticated questions to throw you off track or get you to admit fault. 

With Kogan & DiSalvo on your side, we talk to and negotiate with insurers so you don’t have to. We’re fully aware of their tactics and can successfully counteract them.

Litigation if Necessary

Most suits settle fairly when the other side sees the strength of our case. When they won’t be reasonable, we’re ready to take them to court and fight for you there. We’ll even appeal an unfair decision and keep fighting for justice.

Post-Settlement Support

Once you’ve resolved your case or received a verdict, you have to properly distribute your funds to cover any outstanding medical bills and liens. We’re here to guide you through the entire process.

Financial Compensation After a Personal Injury

What will your compensation cover? Any monetary damages from the accident are the first consideration. Medical bills, property damage and related expenses fall into this category.

Injuries can also lead to deep emotional or mental trauma that can take years to overcome, if at all. Disfigurement or disability can change your circumstances and affect your enjoyment of life. You can seek a payout for these noneconomic damages, too.

Though rare, you may be eligible for punitive damages aimed at punishing the exceptionally negligent or reckless actions of others. We’ll let you know if such compensation is possible during your consultation.

The Types of Personal Injury Cases We Can Help You With

Our Kogan & DiSalvo team is here to help with any type of personal injury claim you may have in Cypress Lakes.

All Kinds of Accidents

With us, you’re working with more than just an auto accident firm. Along with car accident cases, we handle motorcycle, truck accidents, bicycle, pedestrian, boat and bus collisions.

Additionally, we can handle nursing home abuse cases, slip-and-fall claims and premises liability. We also have extensive experience in product liability and mass torts, where defective items have injured unsuspecting customers.

Various Injuries

Our services span a wide variety of ailments as well. Clients come to us for whiplash, spine, brain, neck, back and catastrophic injuries. We also seek compensation for mental and emotional trauma when appropriate.

Wrongful Death Suits

We’ll kindly and compassionately support you and fight for your rights after the untimely loss of a loved one because of negligence. We’ve helped some clients recover thousands of dollars in these cases to get them justice beyond what criminal trials offer. 

How To Manage a Claim if You’re Partially at Fault

Don’t assume that you can’t get any compensation if you think you bear some responsibility for the injury. Florida’s modified comparative negligence laws mean you can recover damages for injuries if you were no more than 50% at fault for the event. 

To illustrate, suppose the full value of your damages equals $100,000. If the evidence suggests you are 20% responsible, you can still recover $80,000 from the other parties. For that reason, you should still pursue your claim and get what you’re due.

The facts may show that you don’t bear as much fault as you think. Don’t apologize or accept responsibility when you talk about the accident. Discuss those points with us, and we’ll help you present a balanced argument that doesn’t compromise your right to a fair recovery.

Steps To Take After an Injury-Causing Accident

What you say or do after the accident can help or hurt your chances for compensation. Remember these steps to protect your case:

1. Report the incident through the proper channels. If you’re on the road, call 911. Premises liability accidents may need to go through the owner or manager of the establishment.
2. Get a medical evaluation as soon as you can, even if you don’t think you’re hurt. Injuries may appear later, so you should have documentation of what you’re experiencing and what caused it.
3. Collect photos, videos, physical evidence, witness statements and any official reports as soon as you can for evidence. If you were in a car accident, get the contact and insurance information of other involved parties and notify your insurer about the accident. 
4. Keep a journal, recording your recollection of the accident and how you feel afterward. Save all bills, invoices, repair estimates and out-of-pocket costs.
5. Don’t discuss your case with anyone but your legal team and set your social media to private. The other side may be able to twist innocent conversations, photos, posts and comments against you.

One of the most helpful steps you can take is to call our team at Kogan & DiSalvo. During your initial consultation, we’ll offer valuable guidance, and if you choose to hire us, we’ll provide you with more personalized advice throughout the process.
