If you are involved in an accident, your actions immediately afterward can impact your claim for compensation. A skilled accident attorney in Orlando often can overcome situations that are not ideal, but you can help them present the strongest case by keeping the following in mind.
If you were in a vehicle wreck or boat accident, contact law enforcement immediately. The police report can be critical evidence supporting your claim.
If you were in a vehicle accident, inform your liability insurer as quickly as possible. Some policies require notification within timeframes as short as 48 hours.
A prompt medical exam is essential to prove your case. If emergency services respond to your accident and offer ambulance transportation to a hospital, accept it. In other cases, go to an emergency room, urgent care center, or your physician as quickly as you can—the same day is best.
Insurance companies for responsible parties will look for evidence that your injuries are not as debilitating as you claim or that you did not sustain them in the accident. A medical record generated immediately after the incident connects your injuries to it and is important evidence in a personal injury case.
One important thing to remember, regardless of the type of incident, is to avoid speaking about it to people outside your immediate family and lawyer. Insurance companies for responsible parties can take your social media statements and posts out of context and may use them against you to reduce their liability. Limit your social media activity as much as possible.
Whether you were in a wreck, got hurt at work, suffered injuries in a fall, or believe you were the victim of medical malpractice, you need legal representation to obtain the compensation you deserve. The sooner we get involved, the stronger the case we can build.

Colling Gilbert Wright is one of the top plaintiff’s personal injury law firms in Florida because we provide ethical, attentive, and forthcoming representation. We see each case through, doing everything we can to secure justice. With over a century of combined legal experience, our Orlando personal injury attorneys offer exceptional service to clients in serious injury, wrongful death, and disability benefits cases.
When someone else’s conduct caused your injuries, you deserve compensation for all your losses. Working with an experienced Orlando accident attorney can help ensure you do not settle for less than your case is worth.
You are entitled to reimbursement of your out-of-pocket expenses and losses, including those you will incur in the future. The responsible party must compensate your medical expenses, lost income, reduced future earnings, and incidental expenses.
They must also compensate you for your pain and suffering. You can claim financial damages for your emotional distress, disability, scarring, physical pain, and lost enjoyment of life. In rare cases, you may also be entitled to claim punitive damages, but these are only available in exceptional circumstances.
At Colling Gilbert Wright, we handle every personal injury case on a contingency basis. That means that we do not collect fees or expenses until we secure compensation for you.
When we settle your case or obtain a favorable verdict, we deduct our fees and expenses. If we are unsuccessful, we absorb the loss, and you owe us nothing.
During settlement negotiations and at trial, there will be an allocation of fault among the involved parties. Florida Statutes §768.81 says that if you were less than 51 percent responsible, you can claim reduced compensation from other involved parties. A percentage equal to your portion of the fault will be deducted from your total damages.
Accident cases may settle in a few weeks or months if there are no fundamental issues in dispute. Resolution will take longer if there are disagreements about who is responsible or if proving fault requires a complex analysis. If we cannot reach a fair settlement and must take a case to trial, the process could take several years.
Medical malpractice cases trigger additional procedural requirements that extend the time. A medical malpractice case could settle in a year to 18 months, but it may take longer.
When you’ve been injured, you deserve more than promises—you deserve results, accountability, and a team that truly cares. At Colling Gilbert Wright, our legal team is ready to stand by your side, protect your rights, and fight for the full compensation you are owed.
Don’t wait to get the help you need. Call today to schedule your FREE consultation with a trusted Orlando personal injury lawyer and take the first step toward justice and recovery.
