Looked up a local attorney online to help with my very first auto accident claim and found Alan Neufeld. Upon first impression, Alan and his assistant Gloria came across as professional and eager to help. They sent a great chiropractor my way while they looked to see if there was bodily injury liability coverage. In the interim, I forwarded all of the communications I received from the insurance company regarding the property damage portion of the claim to Alan and Gloria. Unfortunately for me, I presumed they would respond to the insurance company on behalf. Ten days later, Gloria informed me there was no bodily injury coverage, and thus the firm would be declining to take on the case. She also informed me they did not respond to any of the communications I sent over from the insurance company. What I know now is that bodily injury and (car) property damage are treated as two separate claims, not lumped together. I also discovered how insanely difficult it is to find an attorney to handle property damage claims alone. If they do help with the property damage claim, it's more of a courtesy than anything because there's no real money in it. I can most certainly understand an attorney's right to make a living and the reason the firm declined to take the case. What I can't understand is why Alan and Gloria didn't just say 'hey, we're not dealing with the property damage claim, you're on your own there.' The insurance company only offered to pay 7 days worth of storage fees. As a result of the lack of care and communication, I am now battling the insurance company to try and overcome the $3,000 + storage fee bill they're trying to stick me with. Garbage insurance company aside, I trusted Alan to help me navigate through foreign territory but was left worse off than where I started. After realizing the gravity of the situation I tried calling Alan for guidance, but of course he declined to even take my call. Based off the glowing google reviews, this firm may very well excel at handling BI claims; however, my experience with this firm left such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to take time out of my day to write this review. [3.31.22] In response to the comment below: Thank you for acknowledging my google review and for the well wishes. I've attached exemplar correspondence to aid you in your attempt to locate me in your system. Upon cursory review of backdated emails, no doubt you will find same including my contact information. I am happy Alan is now willing to accept my phone call post declining the case, albeit prompted from an unfavorable google review that potential future clients may see. But what would be the purpose of the call? If, as you stated, Alan is one of the best personal injury attorneys in Florida, then I would be willing to accept a call from Alan to discuss what corrective measures can be taken at this point to address the $3,000 + storage fee bill I would have otherwise not faced had timely action been taken by your firm.

We have had positive results against many of the area’s insurance companies, medical manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, land and business owners, as well as a wide array of other negligent defendants. Primarily, we sue or bring claims against insurance companies who cover negligent drivers and premises owners.
Please call us with any of your legal questions, including inquiries about whether or not your case is valid. We will discuss your case in a manner that you understand and put your mind at ease. We are here to listen and advise, free of charge.
The value of each case is different and must be evaluated separately. We take a great deal of time to come to a proper evaluation of your case. However, you must know that there is never a guarantee of any recovery.
NKP opens its doors and offers you a no-charge-upfront promise. We work on a standard Florida Bar-approved contingency fee contract, which means if we do not recover money for you, you owe us no attorney’s fees. If we win your case and recover money on your behalf, our fees will be deducted from your settlement or award.
NK&P’s staff of lawyers and legal assistants will work with you directly. We also have investigators, forensic specialists, psychologists, law clerks, and word processors all working on your behalf, although some of them you may never communicate with or see.
Not always. As your case is developed and prosecuted, there will be various court hearings on legal matters. These hearings normally involve discovery issues such as the court determining what documents must be produced when one side has objected. These types of hearings do not require your attendance or participation. If any court hearing does require you to attend, you will be notified.
Compensatory damages compensate the injured person for various kinds of losses or damages. These may also be referred to as actual damages. Compensatory damages include economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, or non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, or inability to lead a normal life.
Punitive damages exist to punish or make an example of the wrongdoer for conduct that is intentional, or when the wrongdoer acts in a reckless manner in disregard for the rights of others. The actual payment of punitive damages is rare, and appellate courts frequently cut punitive damage awards down, or simply throw them out. However, the threat of punitive damages can often induce the defense to make an increased settlement.
Yes, no case is ever settled without your expressed consent. Whenever settlement negotiations are initiated by either party you will be informed, and it is only with your full participation, advice, and consent that your case will be settled.
Typically, once a case is settled, documents must be exchanged between both parties of the lawsuit. This process usually takes 30 – 45 days, but can take longer if your case involves special circumstances such as a settlement of a minor or incompetent, which requires court approval.
The Law Offices of Neufeld, Kleinberg & Pinkiert are known as some of Florida’s top accident injury attorneys. With over 100 years of combined auto accident injury cases experience, we serve the interests of injured people by taking on those accused of causing our clients’ pain.
A case of personal injury law involves a situation where a person gets into an accident and incurs severe or minor injuries due to the ignorance, negligence, or carelessness of another person. The purpose of personal injury law is to help the victims of wrongful injury get compensation for their loss, be it physical or mental injury and medical or legal expenses (present and future).
The term "personal injury" is generally used to describe the combined total of all compensable injuries caused by another's negligence in Florida. Physical injuries and property damage (such as an accident-damaged car) are included in this category. "Bodily injury" only refers to that broad class of injuries sustained to the person. In a car accident injury context, then, that would be the cost of medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. When looking at a car insurance policy, the "bodily injury" portion of the coverage pays for these sorts of damages, while you have to look at the "property damage" portion of the policy to get paid back for car repairs, car replacement, diminished value, etc...
With so many lawyers to choose from it can be challenging to find the right one for you. If you have been involved in an accident you will want to work closely with a lawyer who is experienced in handling (and winning) similar types of cases. A good lawyer will offer you a free consultation to get a chance to fully understand your case, before taking you on as a client on a NO WIN, NO FEE arrangement.
Hi Daniella - thank you for the question! In Florida, "personal injury" generally refers to the collective total of all compensable injuries caused by the negligence of another. This would include physical injuries and injuries to property (e.g. damaged car in a car accident). "Bodily injury" only refers to that broad class of injuries sustained to the person. In a car accident injury context, then, that would be the cost of medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. When looking at a car insurance policy, the "bodily injury" portion of the coverage pays for these sorts of damages, while you have to look at the "property damage" portion of the policy to get paid back for car repairs, car replacement, diminished value, etc... I hope this helps!
Hi Mya, Thank you for reaching out. In Florida, we have two broad types of negligence (negligence has 4 elements: duty, breach, causation and damages). General negligence is when you are accusing a third party of not acting the way a prudent individual or corporation should -- or failing to exercise the degree of reasonable care expected of someone in order to minimize the risk of harm to another. Most negligence actions serve as the legal basis for nearly all personal injury cases, including car accidents, trip and falls, slip and falls, and medical malpractice. Gross negligence occurs when their actions are essentially willful/wanton and give rise to punitive damages. There is also the concept of "comparative negligence." For example, in a Florida car accident, if you are deemed 20% at fault and your claim is worth $100,000.00, then you would be entitled to only $80,000.00 due to your comparative negligence that contributed to the car accident.
