Car Accidents

Finding the Right Attorney for Representation

You are one of the thousands of people suffering serious personal injury in an Orlando car accident this year.  You are in pain.  Maybe you are angry about the cause of the accident.  You are frightened about the future; you do not know if your insurance will cover the loss of personal property, medical bills, lost wages, or your house payment.

You know you need law firm representation, but you have no idea how to go about finding an attorney or how to pick a lawyer.  Your choice of an attorney to guide you through your injury claim and settlement or lawsuit can make a huge difference not just in the compensation you receive, but in the quality of your life now and for years to come.

Our society makes lawyers, especially car accident attorneys, the butts of many jokes, but the truth is that most attorneys who handle Orlando car accidents are compassionate and loyal, trustworthy and competent.  The Umansky Law Firm has this advice for you as you search for just that sort of man or woman to represent your case and fight for your rights.

Ask friends and colleagues for referrals.  Do a little research on the internet.  Look in your telephone directory.  Call the state and local bar associations or other associations of civil and trial lawyers.  Interview prospective lawyers for your case.  These qualities are what you are looking for:

• Education, Qualification and Experience

A well-educated and Florida bar qualified attorney is absolutely necessary.  Experience is crucial.  The practice of personal injury law is complex; lawyers who practice in this area of the law must:

• Know the law, and how it is interpreted in the local courts
• Be skilled in the collection and interpretation of evidence
• Be capable of preparing and arguing a case
• Have the reputation and skill to negotiate

The Umansky Law Firm is comprised of attorneys who were educated in Florida law schools and have experience as trial lawyers in Orlando courts.

• Success

Insurance companies and defense attorneys pay attention to the personal injury attorneys who consistently win lawsuits for compensation in serious injury car accident cases. They are more likely to negotiate fair settlements of claims with law firms they respect for their success rates in winning lawsuits.

The Umansky Law Firm posts its settlement and trial successes on our website.

• Reputation

You want to be represented by car accident attorneys who are respected for their firm resolve, but not feared for their aggressiveness.  You want men and women who are compassionate and caring.  Your lawyer should have a reputation as a hard-working, conscientious person.  He or she should be well-regarded in the Orlando/Orange County community.

Umansky lawyers all have strong ties to the Orlando community, through professional associations, social groups, and charity.

• Compatibility

Be certain that your Orlando car accident attorney is a person who can understand your values, needs and intentions.  You need a lawyer who will communicate with you, both listening patiently and providing information. You are going to spend time with this person; you are going to reveal personal details to this attorney; you are going to share your grief and frustration with him or her. You need to feel a connection. 

At the Umansky Law Firm, we have one major rule:  The client comes first.

Your car accident lawyer’s primary professional responsibilities are to counsel you, protect your rights, bring litigation, and, if necessary, argue your case at trial.  His or her job is to help you obtain the justice and compensation you deserve.

You can find the compassionate, competent, efficient and energetic attorney who will stand beside you to negotiate your settlement or take your collision case to court.  The Umansky Law Firm is prepared to deal with whatever disaster has come your way on the dangerous roads of Florida.  Call Umansky Law today at 407-228-3841, or complete our quick contact web form.  We offer free initial consultations.
