July 2018 - Jeffrey R. Davis Law

Before choosing a personal injury attorney in Miami, it is always important to get a second opinion. It is crucial to do your due diligence before you select the lawyer that will be working for you or your family on such an important matter. Here are a few valid reasons why you should seek a second opinion before hiring an attorney.

– The personal injury attorney you choose will be someone that will be involved with your case for a long time – sometimes years. You need to be able to trust and communicate with your lawyer. Are they accessible? Do they promptly answer or return your calls,emails or texts?
– Is your lawyer familiar with the type of case that you have? Are you hiring a general lawyer who handles all types of cases or one that specializes in your particular type of case?
– Has your lawyer handled your particular type of case before? Has your lawyer had a similar case that she/he has actually taken to trial? What has their experience been in the past with your particular kind of case?
– Is your lawyer Board Certified by The Florida Bar?
– How long has your lawyer been in practice?
– Is your lawyer a member of any trial organizations or other societies, local Bar associations or Colleges that concentrate in legal practice areas that your case involves?
– What do other clients say about your lawyer?
– Does your lawyer lecture in her/his field? Do they teach at any schools or conferences? Do they publish in their field?
– Has your lawyer been disciplined by The Florida Bar or any other agency or organization?
– Can your attorney afford to spend the necessary time, money and resources to see your case through to its proper conclusion?
– Have you done a Google search, Yelp search, FaceBook search or other social media review on your lawyer?
– Have you looked your lawyer up on The Florida Bar website?

If after you have done your “homework” and have questions or concerns about the attorney that you have researched, it may be in your best interest to reach out to a lawyer you can really trust for a second opinion. When searching for the correct representation , make sure you do plenty of research on how experienced the attorney is, especially in the area of law that your case pertains to and also be sure to read the reviews from previous clients of the attorney. Are they positive reviews? Are the reviews legitimate? Paying attention to things like this will ensure you are making the right selection when choosing an attorney for your case.

When you live in Miami, chances are you’ve seen or been a part of an auto accident. In the year 2012, Florida Highway Patrol recently released numbers showing that Miami-Dade had the most hit-and-runs in the state in 2012 — a staggering 35 per day, that’s almost 13,000 a year! Jeffrey R. Davis Law wants to inform you as to why auto accidents happen in Miami, Fl everyday.

Miami is one of the most popular cities to visit when you want to have fun and get away from life’s responsibilities. This popular city beckons tourists from all over the world. Tourists that might never have driven on our roads before and are not fully aware of their surroundings. Some foreign tourists may have never driven in the United States at all and may be unfamiliar with our roads, signs and customs. If you combine this with Miami’s nightlife and the inevitable drunk drivers, there is sure to be disaster behind the wheel.

Miami is also a city full of many different cultures, people, and technology. You have the taxi drivers speeding to their destinations, Lyft and Uber drivers distracted by their GPS systems, out of town visitors driving convertible rental cars looking all around at the scenery and many other drivers texting or looking at their phones. These forms of distractions cause accidents everyday.

When you have so many different things happening all at once on the road, this can lead to confusion and chaos. While the police do their best to enforce the rules of the road with traffic tickets and fines, this hardly serves to prevent the large number of crashes and accidents in South Florida. There is much more that needs to be done to prevent these types of accidents.
