Uninsured Motorist Coverage - GET IT!
We tell everyone, EVERYONE, to buy Uninsured Motorist coverage, ESPECIALLY in Florida. Why? Because in Florida, the person who causes an injury may not have bodily injury liability coverage to ...pay your medical bills. Believe it or not, bodily injury liability coverage is NOT mandatory in Florida. So if you get hit and injured, you NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF! BUY UM![+] Show More

QEpisode 53 - Ticket or No Ticket...Protect Your Rights
Many times after a motor vehicle crash occurs a police officer will come to the scene and conduct an investigation. At the conclusion of that investigation the police officer may ...or may not issue a traffic ticket. It's extremely important for you to call an attorney regardless of the outcome of this investigation and here's why. Believe or not, in Florida whether a person receives or does not receive a traffic ticket as result of a motor vehicle crash is not admissible in court.
The second reason it’s important to contact an attorney is, that police officer did not in fact witness the motor vehicle crash and can’t testify as to what did or did not happen. Your rights may be affected whether the accident was your fault or the other person's at fault. So it's important for you to contact an attorney. You may have injuries. You may have a traffic ticket to deal with and we're here to help you
handle all aspects of your case. Call us so that we can evaluate your case, the facts and circumstances about how the crash happened and tell you if you have a case or not. If you do, certainly we'd be more
than happy to handle it for you going forward. Call us 1-800-332-1992 and talk with any of our attorneys about your case and whether you have a claim or not.[+] Show More

QEpisode 52 - Common Sense
One of the main questions insurance companies always ask is, "Was there anything you could have done to prevent the accident?"
You wanna make sure that when you get to that ...question you can say, "There was nothing I could do". There are many laws to follow when you're driving and you could be following them exactly as you
should be, but that doesn't mean you won't get into a car accident. A lot of times car accidents occur because you might not be using common sense. Other people aren't following the laws, but just because they're not following the laws doesn't mean you need to be a victim. Pay attention to your surroundings. If someone is still attempting to make a left turn even though your fast approaching the intersection, slow down because if they don't stop you'll hit them. Yes, you won't be at fault but you will still be injured and who knows how long it'll take for you to get any compensation from the insurance company because of what they did. But sometimes following all the laws and using common sense is still not
enough. You will get into a car accident. When that time comes give us a call. We can help.[+] Show More

QEpisode 51 - ER Nightmare
Without a doubt some of the most difficult cases we handle are those involving children. We recently handled a case involving a young fifteen year old; a young fifteen year ...old girl who was born with a heart defect. She learned to live with that heart defect. Her doctor told the family that as long as she was properly monitored and given the proper medication and saw her doctor regularly that she should still, despite this defect, live a little of a long and happy life.
Unfortunately, when she was around thirteen she contracted a virus of sorts, something similar to a simple cold or flu that you and I might get. But as a result of this virus, given her heart condition, she ended up having to have a heart transplant.
A heart transplant at the age of thirteen is scary, but it went well. She was doing very, very well. She was active in school. She was a beautiful young girl doing very well in academics and sports and participating fully in life.
Just a short while ago, as she turned fifteen, she told her mother that she wasn't feeling well. She knew she had to go to the hospital. She said, "Mom, I think I'm dying. I don't feel right." Her mother took her to the emergency room of a local facility. She went in to that emergency room and she told the nurses there, "I am not right. I need to see someone immediately. I feel as though I am dying."
For 4 hours this young teenager kept telling the nurses in the emergency room, "I don't feel well. I feel as though I am dying."
It wasn't until 4 hours later that the cardiologist finally arrived in the emergency room. Within moments of his arrival in the ER this young, vibrant teenager suffered a massive heart attack and never recovered. The cardiologist, the nurses, the hospital and facilities each need to be held responsible and accountable so this will never happen again.[+] Show More

QEpisode 50 - Why Take Your Case To Trial?
With the internet, Google, Yahoo and all of the social media outlets that we have at our disposal, how do you pick an attorney that's going to best represent you ...and handle your case?
My suggestion would be, call that attorneys directly. Ask him or her a variety of questions. Some of the questions you would want to know are, how many times has that law firm handled your type of case?
Whether it be a motor vehicle accident case, a motor vehicle vs. pedestrian, medical malpractice, dog bite or any other type of personal injury claim you may have, it's important to know whether that law firm has handled those cases in the past and has handled them with success.
Next question you would like to know is whether that law firm in fact goes to trial? Insurance companies keep a list of attorneys and law firms too. On this list are attorneys and law firms that settle their cases and attorneys and law firms that go to court and go to trial. You want the attorneys that go to court and go to trial because the insurance company routinely and regularly offers better settlements to those attorneys and law firms that try cases versus those that settle just to get the case over and done with as quickly as possible.
We at Q Auto and Injury Attorneys go to trial, for medical malpractice, slip and fall, motor vehicle crashes. We try all the cases that we can. The reason we do this is it gets the best results for clients and it tells the insurance companies we mean business. It also tells them that no matter what offer they are making, we won't accept it and we will try the case before a jury if we don't get the best possible result that we can. Call us at Q Auto and Injury Attorneys and talk to one of our attorneys experienced in the trial process and answer any questions you may have regarding your case.[+] Show More

QEpisode 49 - Examination Under Oath
More and more of our clients are being required by their insurance company to do an examination under oath. An examination under oath is the first time the insurance company ...can talk to you on the record regarding the accident and the treatment surrounding that accident.
Even though all they want to know is information about the accident, it's important that you have your attorneys there with you to make sure the questioning stays in that area. Often, these examinations are to help the insurance company figure out if they're going to pay the full personal injury protection benefits or to
value any future settlements you may be entitled to should you carry under insured motorist coverage on your own policy. These questions should be centered around your policy with the insurance company, the accident and any treatments you've had with any doctors regarding the injuries from the accident.
But just because questions should be about that doesn't mean the adjuster or the representative from the insurance company doing the examination will stick to those questions. You want someone in your corner that can step in if a question goes off topic in to something the insurance company has no reason to ask about. These examinations are nothing to be worried about. It's simply a
time for them to gather facts and for you to tell your side of the story. But even then I will be there with you throughout the whole process. So give us a call. We can help.[+] Show More

QEpisode 48 - PIP Update!
By now you've probably heard a million blogs concerning Florida's PIP, P-I-P, personal injury protection. That part of your auto policy that is mandatory in the state of Florida.
What ...is it? More likely, what was it? It was sort of a ten thousand dollar health insurance policy you were required to purchase as part of the insurance on your car. It's mandatory here in Florida.
But what does it mean? At one point it meant, if you were injured in an auto accident you could count on ten thousand dollars worth of coverage to cover your medical bills and or your lost wages.
I say, it used to be that way. It isn't any longer. What's really important if you have an automobile accident is that you go to the emergency room. Because, now in order for your PIP to be used to pay your medical bills, your injuries have to be declared as an emergency. That you have sought emergency treatment. It's pretty hard for an insurance company to argue if you went to the emergency room that you didn't have an emergency medical condition.
If you have an accident, go to the emergency room. If you don't, that ten thousand dollar PIP policy you paid for could be reduced to twenty five hundred dollars. Yeah, I know you paid for ten. I've heard the argument before. But, your insurance company's only going to give you twenty five hundred dollars to pay your medical bills. Don't go within fourteen days because you're trying to macho it out? Then you get nothing. You won't get any money to go towards your medical bills from the P I P of ten thousand dollars you paid the premium for.
So, if you have an accident, be sure when asked if you need to go to the emergency room that you say, "yes". If you don't go by ambulance get someone to drive you. But go to the emergency room.

QEpisode 47 - FDA Approved Doesn't Mean Its Safe for You
[Sandra Bucha] Just because the FDA has approved a particular drug does not mean that in your particular situation it is the proper drug for you. For example, the drug ...Xarelto, perhaps you've seen advertisements already on television, can result in certain individuals with hemorrhaging and bleeding which can lead to hospitalization or perhaps even death. The drug Celebrex, again you've probably seen on television, can result in kidney failure and death for certain individuals. The drugs Prednisone and Levaquin when taken together can actually, in a single dose, result in tendon rupture requiring surgery.
You need ask your doctors. You need to ask your providers all of the risks and complications that might occur from your taking any one particular drug. Even when you pick up the prescription, read the inserts, read the package inserts so you are fully aware of the possible consequences of taking this particular drug. It is your responsibility.[+] Show More

QEpisode 46 - Compulsory Examination
As your case proceeds through the litigation process you'll continue seeing your doctors for treatment and evaluation of your injuries. Believe it or not, the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure ...allow the insurance company to send you to one of their doctors as well.
Often times, people question and wonder why the insurance company gets to send you to a doctor, but this is important for the full evaluation of your case as the case is being prepared for trial. Prior to this examination, you'll talk with one of us here at the office and we will also send you a questionnaire that you will take with you to the examination.
This doctor will examine you from head to toe and reach an opinion as to what injury or injuries were caused by the motor vehicle accident, slip and fall or other type of accident that you've been involved in. It's very important for you to cooperate with the doctors' questions and during the examination itself. We will actually have a videographer there videotaping this entire process so that your rights are fully protected and to document everything that the doctor does or does not do during the examination process. As you can imagine these doctors are specifically chosen by the insurance company and routinely they reach opinions that your injuries were either caused by the accident but only lasted a short period of time, such as three or four months; your injuries were pre-existing to the accident and the accident didn't cause any new injuries; or that you did not sustain injuries at all. The purpose of this examination by the insurance company is so that they can present a doctor of their choosing to the jury, so the jury can have information that is different from what your treating doctors will provide. Obviously our position on this is very easy because we get to argue that the doctors who treated you ever since the accident occurred are the ones that are in the best position to fully evaluate your injuries month after month and can render the clearest and most concise medical opinion as to whether your injuries were caused by the accident and most importantly whether you suffered permanent injury as result of the accident as well. Here at Q Auto & Injury Attorneys, we try cases and the insurance company knows that. Medical malpractice, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian/bicycle crashes, dog bite cases and all types of cases in which you can sustain an injury.

QEpisode 45 - Pill Mill Doctors
You may have read articles in your local newspaper or even online about doctors who seem to be over prescribing pain medication. In the state of Florida it's often called ...“Pill Mill” type of doctors, where they seem to recklessly prescribe medications to certain people who come in complaining of pain. Many times this pain is very legitimate and the patient legitimately needs and requires pain medication to live a normal life. But it’s that doctor’s responsibility to properly oversee the regimen of pain medication he prescribes.
Tragically we have often had cases where a family member comes and says, "I told the doctor I begged with the doctor please stop. My family member, my husband, my son is becoming addicted to this pain medication".
For whatever reason the doctor seemed almost to ignore their pleas for help and we've represented families as a consequence when their loved one has committed suicide or tragically died from an overdose of pain medication. We need to hold these doctors responsible.

QEpisode 44 - Road Rage
The subject here today is a subject that all of you should be conscious of but none of you think that it will happen to you, and that is Road ...Rage. We have seen so many examples of road rage lately that it's becoming a terrible phenomenon throughout the United States. Oddly enough it seems to be quite prevalent here in Florida. It's time for drivers to take a deep breath. I know I spend a lot of time on the road and I don't like seeing people cut me off. I don't like seeing people squeeze in to the bit of area that I leave between my car and the car in front of me in order to be safe. And its recommended that should be one car length for every ten miles an hour. Can you imagine leaving five car lengths in front of you while you're driving on I75? Within an instant they'll be five cars filling it in. Do I get angry? You bet I do. Would I like to give the single finger salute to some of 'em? You bet I would. As a matter of fact my background is auto racing and believe me I know how I could touch the rear bumper of some of those cars and send them off the road. But, I don't want to be a victim of road rage and it's more important that I don't let my emotions get control of me and cause me to create a problem were someone might get hurt. Recently in this office, we had a case of road rage resulting in the death of one of the two individuals involved in the road rage incident. I can somewhat understand the fellow who now sits in jail getting angry because he was late for work and under a lot of pressure to get his job done. When he believed he was cut off by a young guy, driving what appeared to be a souped-up car. The two of them decided to bang on each other as they travel down the road causing the young fellow to cross the median into the path of our client's truck, killing the young fellow and seriously injuring our client. A family man who no longer is able to work. Stay safe, stay calm and let's all give each other a break on the highway. If you have any questions feel free to call us. We're Q Auto & Injury Attorneys.
