After any major life event—good or bad—it is only natural to grab your phone and share the details on social media. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter allow you to connect with thousands of people at the touch of a button.

Of all the questions we get, this is one of the most frequent. And it makes sense: you want to know how you are going to afford a personal injury attorney and how the process works.

The $1,875,000.00 settlement was reached after less than a year of litigation. The plaintiff was injured while walking along a freshly painted sidewalk located outside a shopping plaza in Miami Dade County, Florida.

There are essentially two ways to document your physical injuries: take pictures and go to the doctor.  Both are critical.  Pictures are usually irrefutable and, in some cases, can be the difference between reaching an early and fair settlement or a long court battle resulting in a trial. 

The first step to any personal injury claim is to consult with an attorney. At Viñas & DeLuca, PLLC, consultations are always free and confidential. Not all personal injury cases are started the same way.
