So you've been in a car accident. What happens next? There are many things that you should do but here are the three most important:
Number One: See a doctor immediately.
A broken bone is easy to see, but some injuries are not. The most common injuries from car accidents happen in the neck, back, or head. The only way to diagnose and treat them is by seeing a doctor. A doctor can help ease the pain, provide medication, reassure you of how your injury may impact your daily life, and tell you what not to do to make it worse.
A visit to the doctor can also give you legally protected time off to recover and rest your body after an accident, and it documents and provides the evidence you may need for your case. Even a five-mile-per-hour car accident can cause a serious injury. So whether you've had a severe accident or a minor collision, see a doctor. And if you don't have medical insurance, let us know and we'll make sure that you receive the proper care.
Number Two: Write everything down.
Even if it seems small, during times of stress or injury it is common to forget the little details. Make sure you keep note of the pain that you're in. With neck, back, and head injuries, sometimes simple activities such as walking up the stairs or picking up a toddler may cause severe pain.
You may not be sleeping well at night. Documenting how much you sleep and how often you wake up due to pain is also very important. And lastly, if you have any cuts or bruises, take daily photos as you heal. This will provide visual evidence of the injuries that you've suffered.
Number Three: Do not speak to an insurance company until you've spoken to a lawyer.
Please understand that the insurance adjuster works for a billion-dollar corporation and not for you. Their interests are solely for their insurance company, and their goal is to provide you with the least amount of financial settlement as quickly as possible. When you do speak with them, remember they will record the conversation. Why do they do this? Because they've been trained to ask questions that may confuse you. So talk to us before you talk to them.
So remember: See a doctor, document everything, and call us before calling the insurance company for your free private consultation. We are here for you. Real tough lawyers fighting real tough issues.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”

We were given step by step updates and put at ease when our nerves got the best of us. For every inquiry we made we received a timely response...You are appreciated!
Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
"Best personal injury attorney around, I could not be happier! I was seriously injured in a car accident and Osborne and Francis helped me through the entire process. I was blown away by how knowledgeable the staff and attorneys are at this incredible law firm. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm to friends and family!"

In the practice of medicine, “never events” are so-called because they should never happen. Injuries caused by leaving surgical gauze or tools inside a patient, for example, are 100% preventable with a competent OR team. The same is true for wrong-side and wrong-site surgeries, or being prescribed or administered incorrect medication.
If you’re harmed due to such preventable mistakes, you may be entitled to compensation under the law.
Any healthcare provider — including doctors, nurses, dentists, chiropractors, and hospitals — can be sued for medical malpractice. If a medical professional or hospital staff member fails to provide an adequate level of care that results in harm to a patient, they may be held liable for your injuries. Consult with a local attorney experienced in medical malpractice cases to review your specific options.
Many medical malpractice lawyers, including the attorneys here at Osborne & Francis, work on a contingency fee basis. That means we only get paid if you win your case. We invest our time and resources in your case upfront because we know this is a financially and emotionally challenging time of your life — we’re here to help first, and only earn our fee if we deliver results for your family.
In Florida, where Osborne & Francis has multiple office locations, the deadline to file a medical malpractice case is usually 4 years from the date of the injury (or 2 years from the day the injury was discovered or diagnosed).
The clock starts ticking right away after your injury, so it is essential that you contact Osborne & Francis at (561) 293-2600 before your time runs out. Consultations are free and confidential — let us meet critical legal deadlines on your behalf, so you and your family can heal in peace.
