It was a real pleasure working with Becky Dolman on my personal injury case. She was incredibly knowledgeable and really knows her stuff. I felt confident and comfortable with her handling my case. Thanks so much, Becky!

I was injured in a motorcycle accident a little over a year ago and decided to hire a personal injury lawyer to help me with the matter. Julia Dolman was the name given to me at this firm who my friend had used twice in the past and said they were great. I ended up hiring Julia and she was very thorough, transparent, and just on the ball with everything. She did a great job of communicating with me throughout the process and was with me every step of the way. I am very happy she ended up settling my claim for me and it's now over with and behind me. I certainly suggest Julia to anyone else needing a motorcycle accident attorney because she truly did a tremendous job.

If you're looking for the best motorcycle accident lawyer around, I highly recommend Julia Dolman. She was able to get me the compensation I deserved, and she was knowledgeable and experienced throughout the process. She's in a league of her own, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Our father injured his back in a slip and fall accident. The insurance company denied any help for his fusion surgery. We contacted Becky Dolman, a renowned personal injury attorney and she was ready to provide us legal assistance. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the compensation we deserved. In the end, we received way more compensation than we expected. We would highly recommend her firm!

You will be provided the cellphone number of your handling lawyer and we will remain in contact throughout your case to provide timely updates.

What happens after I call you?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

We begin working on your case once we sign you up. Upon you executing your contract, we will immediately contact all applicable insurance carriers to confirm available coverage. Further, we will begin investigating your claim and all liability issues.

What information or documents do you need from me to get started?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

The negligent party’s name, contact information and insurance coverage. We will also need your policy/claim number. This all can be accomplished via a police report/exchange of information. We would also prefer pictures depicting the property damage and contact information on any independent eyewitnesses.

Do you offer free consultations?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

We offer free consultations and case evaluations

What should I do if someone sues me after a car accident?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Call your insurance carrier. They will generally appoint legal counsel to defend such claim pursuant to your insurance coverage.

I don't want to sue anyone- is filing a claim the right thing to do?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Filing a claim is your only form of recourse when seeking justice against a negligent party who caused your injuries. This is the very purpose of insurance

How do I pay for expenses related to my accident before I receive a settlement?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Florida is a no-fault state. Thus, 80% of your medical bills and lost wages up to $10,000 will be covered under your personal injury protection coverage. Lawyers are forbidden from advancing money to their clients. However, we can help an injury victim secure a loan against their potential settlement with a third-party entity to assist with bills. We ask our clients to keep detailed records of all out of pocket costs so we can seek to recoup such from the negligent party. Keep in mind that many medical providers will see an injury victim under a letter of protection. This is a document that guarantees we will safeguard the settlement proceeds in our escrow account until we can negotiate every medical bill. Thus, you will not have to come out of pocket to pay your physician.

How long will it take to get a settlement?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

We generally try to resolve all claims within six months. If we are unable to resolve (generally as a result of the insurance carrier acting in an unreasonable manner) we will file a lawsuit. We are at the mercy of the judicial system once a lawsuit is filed. Any lawyer that guarantees how long a lawsuit will take is being dishonest. Covid has resulted in a glut of cases clogging up the system and it could take upwards of two to three years to get to trial when necessary.

What types of things could I be compensated for after an accident?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

There are three basic types of damages. Damages for economic loss (i.e., property damage, future medical expenses, car rental and future loss of wages), damages for non-economic loss (i.e., pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and disfigurement)

What happens if I have to miss work due to an injury?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

If the injury occurred while on the job, you can file a workers compensation claim. If the injury occurred as a result of a car accident, slip and fall or any other act of negligence, we can seek lost wages through your personal injury protection coverage and then seek to recoup additional lost wages and ancillary expenses from the at-fault party.

Can my employer fire me or take retaliatory action against me for filing a workers’ comp claim?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

yes and no. Florida prohibits retaliatory conduct by employers. In other words, an employer cannot fire an employee for filing a work comp claim. However, Florida is an at-will employment state and so long as the employer can demonstrate poor work performance, corporate restructuring or corporate financial issues; they can justify your termination. The reason for termination cannot be based on the filing of a work comp claim.

Do I have a case if I do not have a major injury?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Yes. What many would consider minor can truly diminish ones’ quality of life. For example, ligament injuries are often every bit as painful as a broken bone with a much longer anticipated healing time.

Do I still have a case if I was partly at fault for my accident?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Yes. Florida is a pure comparative negligence state. In other words, liability is apportioned by percentage of fault and can be shared by multiple parties.

What should I do after a car accident?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Call law enforcement from the accident scene, take photos of all vehicles involved (if possible) and attempt to obtain the insurance coverage from all parties. I strongly recommend you are evaluated by a physician as soon as possible.

How often do personal injury cases go to trial? Will my case go to trial?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

Only a small percent of personal injury cases, go to trial. However, a number of lawyers and/or firms refer us their biggest or most complicated cases to litigate. Thus, we take a disproportionately higher percentage of cases to trial.

Is there a time limit on submitting my claim?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

There are different statutes of limitations depending on the type of case. Thus, time is of the essence to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer to understand such time limitations.

Why do I need a lawyer?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

The insurance carrier will take advantage of the individual who is unrepresented by counsel. Further, insurance carriers are also aware of which lawyers or law firms litigate cases as opposed to the settlement mills that simply accept the best settlement offer. An unrepresented victim is like a dog with no teeth. You can threaten the insurance carrier all you want. However, if you do not have the ability to try a case before a jury, the insurance carrier will ignore you.

Should I just accept the insurance company's offer? I really need the money.

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

No. Numerous studies illustrate that a injury victim represented by counsel nets three times as much as individuals who chose to handle their own claim.

What kinds of attorney fees and costs can I expect to pay if I hire your firm? What if I can’t afford to hire an attorney?

Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022
Maria Hernandez | Apr 11, 2022

We work on a contingency fee. Thus, we only get paid upon resolving your case. In other words, you do not pay us up front. If we are not successful in resolving your claim; we do not get paid.

Who pays my medical bills after a car accident?

Joy Hawkins | Sep 9, 2019
Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA | Sep 9, 2019

Regardless of who is at fault or where “liability” lies in the car crash, each individual is meant to be covered, at least initially, by their own Florida PIP insurance.

Do I have to go to court if I decide to hire an attorney?

Joy Hawkins | Sep 9, 2019
Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA | Sep 9, 2019

Not necessarily. In fact, a large number of cases resolve without the need for filing a lawsuit. However, even if we move forward and litigate your case; there is a strong possibility we can resolve the claim at or before mediation. Thus, only a small percentage of cases ever see the light of a courtroom.
