Seriously, there is probably 100x more in Florida than any other state I’ve ever visited. I am guessing that the state is either plaintiff friendly or the laws are more lax concerning attorney advertisements. Thanks.
Only some states allow personal injury lawyers to advertise, Florida is one of those. 100x is a gross exaggeration. It’s all about competition. The more lawyers who advertise, the more NEED to advertise to get the business.
People don’t realize that the number of times you see a lawyer’s name on TV has nothing to do with his/her competence, and in fact it can be argued that GOOD lawyers don’t need to use TV advertising.

This employee filed a claim saying he was injured on the job. We paid for him to go to the doctor. The doctor said the problem was degenerative disk disease and not caused by his work. We paid about $1,800.00 for the treatment and diagnosis and I filed an accident report with the state.
Since the problem was degenerative and not work related, I don’t have to put that on my OSHA report do I?
Absolutely, should it ever come up sometime, you need to explain how you thought it was work related when actually it wasn’t. I would also send a copy of the report you received from the doctor for that employee. Just put an * see attached copy for this reported item.

i live by myself, my job is 35 miles one way. I called boss and asked to be off until my car is fixed. Use my vacation hours until it runs out, then I will be off without pay. Can I use this to claim this with the other driver’s insurance company if I am found not at fault? How about loss of use of a vehicle? Never been in an accident before I need to prepare and to learn the process.
Talk to your insurance company about getting a rental car until yours is repaired.

Recently, someone backed into the side door of my car. It did approx $2,000 worth of damage. The insurance company and the repair shop I had do the estimate have been in contact to work out a final agree’d upon repair price. However, I am not sure I want to repair the car. Do I have the option to just keep the money and live with the damages, or do I have to have the vehicle repaired in order to go through with the claim?
Normally, if the other insurance company is paying, the check will be made out to just you. If it is your company that is paying, it will be made out to both you and the body shop. If your company is paying, you can ask them to pay just you and you can then keep the money but………….. They will fight you tooth and nail on making out the check to just you. it can be done but you will be told it can’t. If you succeed, they will not pay for the same damage again and may even cancel you.

In August 2006 my car was rear-ended by another car. The driver of the other car begged me not to call the police because he had no insurance or license. He said he would pay the estimate of damage. I took my car to the dealership from which I bought it and they said it needed a new rear bumper and all that went with it for $958. The other driver agreed to make monthly $100 payments. He has made only three. I have called him over a dozen times, my calls are no-longer returned.
I want to take this to small claims, but I really have no "proof" of the accident. I did not call my ins. co., and because this is my only car and the dealership said it would fail inspection and was not safe to drive my two small children in, I had to have it repaired immediately.
I have the following: offender’s name, address, cell phone number, place of employment, license plate, dealership list of work performed and cost.
Is this enough to merit any kind of case, or have I invited this result? Thanks
when he made the payments to you did he pay you cash or check, or anything with his name on it. If there is any kind of paper trail at all this could help you in court. most of the time small claims court happens real fast. it’s not like what is on TV. just take what you have and go with it. first though send a certified letter to this guy and tell him you will sue if not paid. . make sure you remind him you were doing him a favor because he had no insurance witch is illegal. good luck

Can you give me a list of some courses I should take to become a accident and personal injury lawyer?
Also, a site or two wouldn’t hurt.
You have to be a lawyer to do this. Torts and Remedies are two law school classes that would be helpful.

I was rear-ended today, and I wasn’t hurt too bad, but the doctor gave me off work for two days anyway because of muscle strain. If I feel ok tomorrow, can I go to work anyway? Or will that negate my health insurance claim because I didn’t follow the ER doc’s instructions?
If nothing hurts, I just don’t feel like sitting around at home with nothing to do if I’m not hurting. If I hurt, I plan on doing nothing but relaxing.
Take the Doctors advice. Doctors always know best. Many people think they are fine and do go against the Doctors orders only to find that they injure themselves further and end up losing MORE time at work than they would have originally. Please take the time off and allow the damage to repair itself.
