Jacksonville Car Accident Attorney
Understanding your rights in an car accident lawsuit
Personal injury law in Florida differs significantly from the law in Georgia when it comes to determining fault for an accident. But Jacksonville car accident attorney Charlie J. Gillette, Jr. has the legal knowledge and experience to support cases in both states. While every driver should understand their rights under this complex area of law, most cases are best served by the support of skilled lawyers in Georgia or Florida.
You may have a right to compensation even if you shared in responsibility for the accident
Florida comparative negligence law reduces—but does not necessarily eliminate—the amount you can collect based on the percentage of responsibility you share for an accident. Further, the law sets forth complex joint and several liability rules to determine the monetary amount each responsible party is required to pay based on degree of negligence. As an experienced car accident lawyer in Jacksonville, Charlie J. Gillette, Jr. understands how to navigate these complicated rules to ensure you pursue all compensation due to you in a lawsuit or settlement.
Georgia comparative negligence law is more straightforward than Florida law, but it can quickly eliminate your ability to collect if you were more careless than other drivers. Charlie J. Gillette, Jr. has the skills to build the most effective case possible to help you collect compensation after an accident, whether you are located in Florida or Georgia.
