“Accident Case”
Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice and Purtz, PA was the only law firm who would take our car accident case. Andrea Pleimling Smith was very thorough, explained everything in a very detailed fashion, and was easy to reach when questions arose. She kept us informed every step of the way. Without her, we would have suffered a severe financial loss due to an accident which was not our fault. Florida’s No Fault law is terrible and very unfair. Andrea and her team were very helpful in recouping all of the money we were required to spend!

Question:
What is the role of an expert witness in a truck accident claim in Southwest Florida?
Answer:
An expert witness in a trucking accident case is usually determining who is at fault by looking at roadway evidence and looking at crush damage to a vehicle. We recently had a lady hire me. Her husband was severely injured in a trucking accident and, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries. The defense, the insurance company, had their expert at the scene of the accident doing an investigation already, so you need an attorney who also can hire an expert immediately and who has the financial resources to pay that expert. These experts can be costly – $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 or more – and that’s something that the law firm pays; we do not ask you to pay. That’s something that’s reimbursed at the end. Our law firm can pay these experts. We have the financial wherewithal to do that.
We need a competing expert because there’s often severe damages in trucking accident cases, so the insurance company will do anything they can to try to limit that value by hiring an expert early on and trying to come up with some opinions that would indicate that you’re somehow at fault. Hire an attorney who understands that they need to get an investigation done right away, that has the wherewithal to hire the experts, to make sure they can maximize the value of your case. Our law firm does just that. We’ve been handling trucking accident cases for nearly 60 years, and we handle them often. Please feel free to reach out to us.
