“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:
Do you recommend taking the insurance companies initial offer after a truck accident?Answer:
We would never recommend taking the insurance company’s first offer in a trucking accident case in Florida. Recently we had someone call in. They had been in an accident where a truck caused the accident, and they had significant injuries. There were actually multiple people in the car that were injured, and they said, “Hey, we received a first offer. We think it’s a good offer.” The offer that they told us they received was actually insulting to them. These are folks that had severe injuries, that were all taken to the hospital, and they had continuing ongoing pain and suffering, and it was a small offer.
It may have sounded good to them, but they didn’t understand what the real value of these cases are because you have to look at multiple things. You have to look at the amount of the medical bills, you have to look at the pain and suffering, you have to look at the lost wages, and our board-certified trial attorneys at our law firm understand how to maximize the value of those different parts of the case. It’s important to reach out to an attorney immediately. Let the attorney protect your interests. Let the attorney make sure that you’re getting full value in your case. Our firm does that, and we have for almost 60 years. Feel free to reach out to us.
