The Four Elements of Negligence
It is not enough to prove that an accident led to your injuries to win compensation. In order to hold someone liable for your losses, a lawyer from our firm will work to demonstrate:
- Duty of care: The liable party owed you a duty of care, such as by obeying the laws of the road
- Breach of duty: The liable party breached this duty, such as by failing to yield the right of way.
- Causation: The breach of duty led to your accident, such as a vehicle collision.
- Damages: You suffered injuries and losses in the accident.
You should not have to suffer due to someone else’s negligence. We will work to gather the necessary evidence to hold the responsible party accountable.
We Can Build a Case Against the At-Fault Party
If you hire a Leesburg personal injury lawyer from Bogin, Munns & Munns, our firm can handle your case from start to finish. We will assume all of the paperwork and communications involved with either a claim or lawsuit. When we take on your case, we will:
Investigate the Accident to Determine Liability
We can investigate your case to determine who is liable for your injuries. We will also work to gather evidence to establish their liability. This may include:
- Any police reports or other official reports about the accident
- Eyewitness statements
- Physical evidence
- Photo or video evidence
- Expert testimony
- Accident reconstruction
- Your relevant medical records
- Documentation of your related damages
- And more
Gathering evidence of your damages is also an integral part of your personal injury case. This evidence can help prove to the court or the insurance companies how this accident has impacted your life and what fair compensation might look like.
Calculate Your Losses
Our lawyers will also collect evidence of your losses to seek fair compensation from a liable party. To prove your damages, we may use:
- Your medical records
- Records of your lost wages
- Receipts for lost property, such as a totaled vehicle
- Testimony from medical and vocational experts about your future costs of treatment and recovery
It is important to seek medical attention, even if you believe your injuries to be minor. Symptoms may arrive later, and some injuries can worsen over time. Medical records play an important role in establishing your losses, and any gap in treatment may challenge your case for compensation.
Negotiate with Insurers
With evidence in hand, we can take your case to the insurance company to negotiate a settlement offer on your behalf. If they refuse to negotiate or will not agree to a fair settlement, we can file a personal injury lawsuit against them and take the case to trial.
Take Legal Action
If we take your case to trial, we will argue our findings before a judge or jury. Sometimes, insurers will make a fair offer to avoid going to court. Regardless, we will be prepared to represent you when seeking a court-awarded offer.

Time Limits for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Many personal injury cases in Florida fall under the two-year statute of limitations. This means you typically have two years after the date of your accident or injury to file a lawsuit. Other deadlines may apply, depending on the type of case you have.
If you allow the statute of limitations to expire before you take legal action in your case, you may not be able to recover compensation through a lawsuit. To learn more about how long you have to file your lawsuit, reach out to Bogin, Munns & Munns as soon as you can following your accident.
Affording a Lawyer from Our Firm
We may be able to represent your personal injury case on a contingency fee basis. This arrangement requires no up-front fees for our services. Rather, we only receive payment as a percentage of your settlement or court awards if we win compensation on your behalf.
Additionally, we offer free consultations for personal injury cases. If you are unsure whether you have a case or how much it may be worth, we can discuss it at no cost to you. You are under no obligation to hire us during this consultation.
Let Us Negotiate with the Insurance Company for You
When another person or entity’s negligence injures you, their insurance company can be held responsible for compensating you. The insurer’s bottom line is its primary concern. Our primary concern is getting fair compensation for you.
Throughout the settlement negotiation process, our Leesburg personal injury lawyer will:
- Ensure your case receives an accurate valuation
- Assess each settlement offer you receive
- Weigh each offer’s advantages and disadvantages
The settlement process can involve several rounds of negotiations before an acceptable offer is made. Our personal injury lawyer will handle this back-and-forth process for you. The final settlement decision is yours, but we will make sure you can make a well-informed decision.
We work to protect you from unfair settlement tactics, such as accepting a speedy but flawed settlement offer. We also make sure the insurance company does not use bad faith insurance practices or make a lowball offer seem more appealing than it is. Bad faith insurance practices could also lead to additional monetary recovery for you.
What You Can Expect if Your Case Goes to Trial
This is a very rare occurrence because most personal injury cases are resolved with an insurance settlement. If we do have to take your case to trial to receive a fair financial award, we will not hesitate to do so.
If the at-fault party is uninsured, you may have to go to trial to get compensation. To prepare your court case, our personal injury lawyer will:
- Prepare supporting evidence and exhibits
- Prepare you to testify in court if necessary
- Prepare witnesses for the testimony process
- Conduct discovery sessions and take depositions
When we say you are never alone when our law firm represents you, we mean it. We will see your case through to the end. Some personal injury cases are resolved with a settlement even after a trial has begun. If this is a possibility in your case, we will inform you and keep fighting for the best possible outcome.
