We Are Not a Settlement Mill, and You Are Not Just a Case Number

Most Firms that Advertise on Television are Settlement Mills. Those firms take on hundreds of cases and settle them as quickly as possible for a quick payout. These lawyers do not take cases to trial, and the insurance companies and opposing counsel know it. Without any threat of a trial, insurers know their low-ball settlement offers will be accepted, saving money for the insurance companies.

We are the opposite of the high-volume personal injury lawyers advertising all day long on television and radio. Dolman Law Group is not like these high-volume injury lawyers who settle massive numbers of cases using case managers and support staff to handle the bulk of their work. When you work with our team, you'll be treated and respected as a person, not just a file number.

You Can Trust Our Reputation

We have built a reputation for fully litigating claims and actually taking cases to trial. In turn, we keep the insurance carriers honest by posing a genuine risk to them. Keep in mind, even the world's worst trial lawyers are still more effective than the law firm that never or rarely takes cases to trial. Insurance companies despise spending money, and that is what we force them to do every day.

Even if your case doesn't go to trial, when you have an active litigation department supporting you, your case is already worth considerably more. Why? Because insurance companies know we will take them to court and we will win, so they would rather just give us a fair amount now and save the time and effort. We are proud of our past case results, which show how hard we work to achieve the best outcome for our clients. Some of our notable successes include:

Which Personal Injuries Do We Handle in Doral?

Common Ways People Are Injured in Doral

Accidental injuries in Doral can happen in a variety of different ways, and the approach to each case will depend on how the injury occurred. The experienced personal injury attorneys of Dolman Law Group regularly and successfully handle cases arising from the following common circumstances, among others:

Car Accidents

Of the 16 million people licensed to drive in Florida, 2 million travel around the Miami-Dade region. On top of the locals, Florida also receives millions of visitors each year, including snowbirds and tourists. All combined, serious car crashes can happen almost anywhere, anytime.

In fact, more than 50,000 people are seriously injured in the Miami-Dade region in any given year. These car wrecks can be caused by drivers violating traffic laws, distracted driving, road hazards, defective cars, and more.

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of serious personal injury that we see at Dolman Law Group. This is because a multi-thousand-pound machine can create serious danger when fast speeds and delicate human bodies are combined. During an auto accident, the body is suddenly and violently thrown around until something stops it. Oftentimes, that something is a dashboard, car door, or seatbelt. This can cause everything from whiplash to a broken neck to untimely death.

After an auto accident, the best-case scenario allows the injured person to focus on physical and mental recovery. This can’t happen if you’re worried about your medical or household bills or stressing about how you will support your family while you’re out of work. That’s where financial compensation comes in.

Our dedicated car accident lawyers can help make sure that the appropriate parties are held responsible for their actions and that you receive proper compensation. Letting a skilled auto accident personal injury lawyer handle your case not only ensures that you will get the amount you deserve but we can also reduce your stress so that you can focus on making a full recovery from your injuries.

Doral Motorcycle Accidents

It’s estimated that 88,000 motorcyclists are injured each year in motorcycle accidents. Of those, nearly 5,000 of them are motorcycle fatalities.

Negligent drivers—especially those driving while distracted—commonly cause motorcycle injuries. Of course, the exposed nature of motorcycles is what makes them so much more dangerous; however, that doesn’t mean that those injured in a Doral motorcycle crash are somehow more culpable or less deserving of compensation for their personal injury case.

In fact, motorcycle accidents are often caused by other drivers’ failures to watch the road or to look out for motorcyclists. Regardless, these crashes can be devastating, and riders injured by negligent drivers deserve fair compensation for their losses.

Contact the motorcycle injury attorneys at Dolman Law Group to discuss your injury claim. Our Head of Litigation, Attorney Stan Gipe, is recognized throughout Florida as an award-winning motorcycle accident lawyer.

Slip and Fall Accidents

People injure themselves on a regular basis by slipping and fallingdown. Many times, a fall accident is just an unlucky happenstance. However, if your fall was caused by another person’s negligence and complete disregard for your safety, you deserve compensation for your losses. These trip and fall cases can happen in stores or other businesses due to a number of dangerous hazards.

For example, the owner of a store may know that their roof is leaking but decide that fixing it is too expensive. Or, a store manager may be aware that milk was spilled in Aisle 12 but has told their employees to ignore the incident until the truck is unloaded. These examples show how a person’s negligence can cause dangerous conditions.

Falling down is often considered funny in our culture. However, when a person’s feet slip out from under them and cause their body to slam against a hard floor, the results can be severe, painful, and debilitating. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall, contact the slip and fall personal injury attorneys at Dolman Law Group today.

Commercial Truck Accidents

About 480,000 commercial vehicles are involved in crashes in the US on an annual basis. Because of the large weight and size of commercial trucks and buses, the damage and injury caused by these crashes can be devastating. Small cars just have no chance in a commercial truck accident.

Oftentimes, truckers are operating under less-than-ideal or unsafe conditions, like driving for too long or without proper rest breaks. Because of this, the commercial companies they work for may also be found negligent in truck accident cases. If you’ve been injured by an 18-wheeler or bus, contact Dolman Law Group for a free consultation.

Doral Boating Accidents

There are more than 931,000 watercraft registered in Florida, where boating is a popular, year-round activity. This is especially true in the Doral area, where lakes and beaches abound. Who doesn’t love a nice boat outing? Sun, water, and cruising make for a great combination.

However, boating is also commonly associated with drinking, distractions, and inexperienced operators, all of which regularly lead to accidents. If you were injured because of a drunk or negligent boater, contact the personal injury attorneys at Dolman Law Group to discuss your legal rights.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists are a regular sight in Florida. However, in addition to the many benefits of cycling, there are also risks of accidents and serious injuries. A bicyclist can suffer severe injuries even if they are wearing a helmet and other safety gear; a bike is just no match for a solid steel vehicle.

If you were injured on a bicycle by a negligent driver, contact Dolman Law Group to discuss your options with no obligation or charge.

Doral Pedestrian Accidents

Statistics indicate that a pedestrian is killed every 66 minutes in the US. Pedestrians have no protection from injuries when they are hit by a car. Because of this, combined with the obvious mismatch between a car and a person, it’s clear why they are so vulnerable to severe injuries.

The most common pedestrian accident injuries are traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and back and neck injuries. These types of injuries can be devastating to one’s way of life. If you were struck by a vehicle, contact Dolman Law Group for a personal injury case evaluation today.

Doral Nursing Home Abuse

Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities can be harmed by many different types of mistreatment, including neglect, physical assault, emotional abuse, financial abuse, sexual assault, and more. These appalling and severe crimes should never go unpunished. Contact Dolman Law Group if you suspect your loved one is the victim of nursing home negligence or abuse.

Doral Workplace Injuries

When people go to work, they should expect a safe and healthy job environment. When a person suffers a job-related injury, the law protects their interests by giving them the right to workers’ compensation benefits. However, these benefits are not always paid in a timely and fair manner.

If you were injured while at work or made sick by unsafe conditions, contact the workers comp attorneys at Dolman Law Group today.

If you're involved in an accident in Doral, it's important to take several immediate steps to ensure your safety and the safety of others, as well as to protect your legal rights. Here's what you should do after an accident:

Remember that every accident is unique, so the specific steps you need to take may vary. Your top priorities following a Doral accident are to get the medical treatment you need for your injuries and contact a Doral personal injury attorney for advice and guidance.

How Do I Know If I Have a Strong Doral Personal Injury Claim?

Many folks are seriously injured in accidents in the Doral area of Miami every day. Additionally, more than 28 million people in the United States visit emergency departments each year when they sustain accidental injuries. The legal professionals at Dolman Law Group understand how these accidents can take many different forms, and we know how to resolve every type of personal injury claim.

All personal injury claims do share one thing in common. When injuries are the result of another person’s negligence, victims are entitled to seek compensation for the losses they experience. These losses may include medical bills,property damages, lost wages from missed work, compensation for loss of quality of life, and/or physical and emotional pain and suffering.

We know how compensation plays an important role in making an injured victim whole again. If the other party had not been negligent, the injured person would not have needed surgeries, spent time in the hospital, missed many days of work, or lost the ability to hold their grandchild again. Of course, these are just theoretical examples, but they are real examples of what we see every day at our law firm.

How Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Doral Can Help

At Dolman Law Group, our Doral accident injury lawyers are committed to providing aggressive and effective legal representation and counsel to individuals who have sustained personal injury in serious accidents.

We know how to gather evidence to support a claim and understand the process of negotiating with insurance companies to recover adequate compensation. We also will not hesitate to take a case to trial if necessary. Often, insurance companies will only give serious offers to firms they know might actually take them to court. Our record clearly shows that we have and will do so.

Our mission is to do whatever it takes to get our clients just compensation.

You can rely on us to carefully asses your situation to determine if you qualify for compensation. In virtually all personal injury claims, you must show that you suffered injuries and prove the other party caused your injuries through their negligence or wrongdoing.

We can help you with all aspects of your legal claim, and we'll work diligently to hold the other party responsible and fight for you throughout the process to increase your chances of getting the maximum financial recovery possible.

How Much Is My Doral Personal Injury Claim Worth?

We hear this question a lot, and the answer really depends on the unique facts and circumstances involving your case. It's often impossible to tell exactly what a claim is worth, but our lawyers will assess your claim and calculate the amount of compensation you need to cover your injuries and losses.

The value of a personal injury claim in Doral can vary widely depending on several factors. To determine the potential worth of your personal injury claim, your attorney will need to consider various elements that contribute to the damages you've suffered. Here are some key factors that can influence the value of your claim:

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Doral?

It’s important to note that recovering compensation for your personal injury may be complicated and lengthy. Under Florida law, there is a time limit controlling when you can proceed with a lawsuit. The statute of limitations in Florida is now two years. This means that from the date of your accident, you have only two years to file a lawsuit in civil court.

Two years may sound like a long time, but depending on the size and scope of your case, your legal team may require extensive time to build the foundation of your claim.

Can I Recover Damages If I'm Partially At Fault?

Florida amended its tort policy to follow a modified comparative fault rule in March of 2023. This means that injured parties are no longer allowed to recover compensation if the court finds them more than 50% responsible for their injuries. Also, the court will reduce the amount of damages you can receive based on your percentage of fault. For example, if the court finds the defendant was 75% at fault and you were 25% at fault, you may only recover 75% of your total requested damages.

The Doral accident injury attorneys at the Dolman Law Group will thoroughly investigate the accident or injury-causing event and work diligently to establish maximum liability on the other party, if possible. We will also advocate for you if the insurance company tries to blame you for the accident to improve the odds you obtain the full amount of compensation you deserve.

What's the Process of Recovering Compensation in Doral?

The personal injury claims process begins after you suffer and receive treatment for injuries someone else caused. Your first step is to consult an experienced Doral injury attorney for help. Your lawyer will collect evidence and submit a claim to the appropriate insurance companies, including a total dollar figure the insurance company can pay to avoid going to court.

The insurer will likely respond with a lower settlement offer that probably won't come close to covering all your injuries and losses. This opens the door for settlement negotiations, and your attorney will wrangle with the insurance company to try and get them to pay more.

PIP Coverage

Keep in mind that Florida is a no-fault state for auto insurance, which means you will first pursue compensation from your own personal injury protection (PIP) policy. Florida requires all drivers to maintain this coverage.

PIP coverage is sometimes referred to as no-fault coverage, as the insurance does not take into account who was to blame for the accident when deciding what damages to cover. Florida PIP covers up to $10,000 in medical expenses and lost wages after a car accident. This type of insurance coverage was made mandatory in Florida in order to expedite the personal injury claim process when it came to auto accidents. The idea is that everyone pays for insurance to cover their own injury expenses, thus making the process less complicated and freeing up the courts to deal with more serious incidents.

However, this is not always how it works, as insurance companies try to avoid paying even the most obviously legitimate damages. This is where PIP suits come in. If your valid PIP claim has been denied, the insurance company is hoping that you will assume there is nothing you can do and move on.

Going to Court

If the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement or unjustly denies your claim, your attorney may advise taking your case to trial and suing for the compensation you need. Your attorney will then enter into the discovery process with opposing counsel, where both sides may request documentation and evidence from the other side.

Many civil courts require parties in a civil lawsuit to attend mediation to try and resolve the conflict. If no resolution can be found, your case will proceed to trial. Your attorney will present a compelling case on your behalf using evidence, eyewitness testimony, expert witness testimony, and other admissible information. The judge or jury will hear the case and then deliberate to reach a verdict.

If the court rules in your favor, it will determine the amount of damages to award you. Either side may also appeal the ruling if it feels judicial errors affected the verdict.

The attorneys at Dolman Law Group understand how to negotiate with insurers, and we have a long track record of securing favorable verdicts at trial for our clients. Contact our experienced personal injury protection lawyers in Doral to fight for you and help you get a fair settlement or court award to cover all costs of your injuries.

I found Dolman Law through Google a few months ago after an accident. They made my case easy for me to understand and helped put me in touch with great doctors. The staff was also excellent in keeping me posted, especially Matt, who was assigned to my case. We had a good result and easy settlement. God forbid I get into another wreck, but I would definitely hire Dolman Law again.

A dear friend of mine was involved in an accident with his family. A driver crashed into them and their car was left with a lot of damage and basically a total loss. My friend went to Dolman and he was so thankful how they handled his case. He kept on explaining to me how friendly and professional they were with him. They walked him through the whole process and provided him all he needed to resolve this unexpected situation. He told me if I ever was in a similar situation, I should contact Patrice E. Altiné.

Two cars decided they wanted to race on the Palmetto and one of them lost control and went right into my lane. The accident was terrible. I am lucky to be alive. I had multiple surgeries on my neck and back and continue to do rehab therapy. The good news is that the doctors say i am ahead of schedule! On top of that came more good news when I found out what my claim settled for. I am very happy with Becky Dolman's service. It was outstanding and don't know what I'd do without her to help me through this!

Been around here twice now. First time was with my wife and her accident. Now someone decided to whack me while i was driving home from work on 826 west bound. Soon as it happened, Stan Gipe was the 3rd person i called after 911 and my wife. He had actually given me his personal cell phone number the first time around in case I needed anything. Talk about being prepared and on the ball. Stan is an excellent injury attorney and i highly suggest his services. Both times now the outcome and results have been great. Thanks again Stan and your team over there.
