Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Re: no insurance drunk

Yes. The question is collectibility of your claim. Just because the other driver did not have insurance information at the scene is not the end of the story. There is more investigation needed to answer your question. Find an attorney willing to investigate your case for you. Either myself or most other attorney's will investigate this for you.

Good luck.

Re: no insurance drunk

sure, but the question is whether you can ever recover anything. O.J. lives in Florida for a reason. It is the best place in the country to live if you owe people money. If they do not have separate and significant assets, you are unlikely to recover anything.

As long as you have a permanent injury then you have a case.

Generally, any time there is a broken bone, the treating physician will find a permanent disability as bones generally do not heal 100%. The value of the claim would remain to be seen based on what your treating physician would say in his or her final medical report.

Whether or not you can collect on the claim would depend on the financial viability of the other party and whether he or she has insurance. I would suggest you consult an attorney who will accept a case like this on a contingency fee basis.
