Helping West Palm Beach injury victims obtain just compensation

Were you hurt because of the carelessness or recklessness of another party? If so, the West Palm Beach injury lawyers at Roy & Associates may be able to help you obtain compensation for your injuries.

An injury accident upends your daily routine and forces you to confront one unknown after another: How will I pay all these medical bills? What if I can’t get back to work right away? Why won’t the insurance company return my calls? In the midst of all this uncertainty, we provide steady guidance. Resolving a personal injury claim requires a period of investigation, followed by negotiation and, often, litigation. We can help at every stage of this process.

Investigation and evaluation

Our investigation begins with you. We will meet with you to talk about the circumstances surrounding your injury and to evaluate the legal merits of your claim. Our initial evaluation will focus on these four factors:

Liability: Is the potential defendant (the party responsible for your injuries, e.g., the other driver, the store owner/manager, the product manufacturer) clearly and solely responsible for your injuries?
Damages: What is the extent of your damages?
Prospects for recovery of damages: Will the defendant be able to pay if you prevail in a lawsuit?
Parties: Will a jury like you? Will a jury dislike the defendant or disapprove of his or her conduct?

In addition to meeting with you, our investigation will include interviewing witnesses; reviewing relevant documents in your possession (e.g., your medical records and medical bills); obtaining copies of any statements you have given; obtaining copies of official reports (police report; inspection report); and inspecting the scene of the accident. To learn more about how we handle this initial stage of a personal injury case, read the articles in the section of our Personal Injury Library (located at the bottom of this page) titled, How Plaintiff’s Attorneys Evaluate Cases.

Negotiation

You may have tried to negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company, only to be frustrated by their obvious efforts to stonewall you and undervalue your claim. We can help you level the playing field. We have more than a decade of experience dealing with insurance adjusters; we know the tactics, tricks and strategies they use during negotiations, and we are able to take assertive steps to counter them. We will not be bullied into settling for less than you deserve. If litigation is necessary, we are willing and ready to take your case to a jury.

You can learn more about this phase of a personal injury case in our Library. You will find the articles listed under How Insurers Evaluate Claims and Settlement Negotiations particularly helpful.

Litigation

If the insurance company refuses to acknowledge the true nature and severity of your injuries, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf. We will make sure that your lawsuit is filed within the time allowed by law, and that it names all possible defendants and raises all viable claims. We will leave no stone unturned during the discovery (fact-finding) phase of the litigation, and will vigorously defend against any efforts to have your claims limited or dismissed before trial.

The litigation process likely will test your patience and your emotional fortitude, but we will be by your side every step of the way. If you are interested in learning more about the litigation process, including what happens during a trial, you will find a series of educational articles in our Library, under the heading If a Lawsuit is Filed.
