AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Automobile collisions are a fact of life. Some involve drunk, impaired drivers, those that simply should not be driving, while others are merely accidents. The consequences to you, however, are the same. What may seem to be a minor inconvenience at first, can ultimately result in serious effects on your daily life.  Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, changes in lifestyle, disability or even death can result. If you or your loved ones have been involved in an accident of any kind and have sustained injury, there are things you will need to do to protect your rights. Whether it is your own insurance company, or the person who was at fault, the insurance companies have highly skilled attorneys assisting them with your claims, so that they can pay out the least amount possible. Remember, they are for profit companies. By and large, they maintain those handsome profits at your expense. It is imperative that you have the right attorney to guide you through the treacherous insurance world. If we do not recover a settlement for you, there is no fee.  Protect your rights and interests.  Call today for your FREE consultation.  877-999-1200.

NEGLIGENCE CASES AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Under certain circumstances you have the right to sue the U.S. Government for negligent acts committed by their employees. This is known as the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Many people, including attorneys, are not even aware of this. Mr. Hilbert, having spent time in both a Federal agency and later in the U.S. Attorney’s office, has specialized knowledge of the unique pitfalls involved in bringing a claim and later suing the U.S. Government. Such causes of action include:

1.                     Automobile Negligence: For example, when a federal vehicle strikes a private citizen. The most common are postal or military cars and trucks. This can, however, include any federal employee acting within the course and scope of their federal employment.

 

2.                     Medical Negligence:  Any federal treatment facility may be the subject of a claim for damages, and if necessary a federal lawsuit. The most common are the V.A., Army, Navy, and Air Force hospitals. However, they can include any federal health care facility that provides professional health care services to eligible recipients.
 

3.                     Premises Cases: Any federal reservation or facility may also be the subject of a claim for damages (SF 95), and if necessary, a federal lawsuit.  The most common are post offices and military instillations (large or small).  Again, any federal land may be the subject of compensation.

The federal government has many intelligent and successful attorneys assisting them. It’s time that we even the score. Call 1-877-999-1200 for a free consultation.

You have rights, and you deserve to have your questions competently answered in a timely fashion. Call the Hilbert Law Group toll free at 1-877-999-1200 to schedule your free initial consultation.

COMMERCIAL LITIGATION CASES (CONTINGENT FEE)

Contracts and other commercial litigation practice cases are varied, challenging, and complex. All too often, larger corporations use their financial superiority to violate the rights of individuals and small businesses. Traditionally, these individuals or small businesses cannot afford the retainer or "up front" costs that most large firms require. The Hilbert Law Group recognizes this inequity, and we offer to review your case for free. If it merits representation, we may undertake your cause purely on a contingent fee. If accepted, we charge no fee unless there is a recovery. With our proven success in these cases, the Hilbert Law Group is able to provide experienced representation in this area, traditionally off limits to contingent arrangements. Since our standard of quality to our clients is a priority, we are willing to offer you a free initial consultation to discuss your case. If you feel that you have had your rights violated by a large corporation or an individual who is unfairly and possibly even illegal using their superior financial position against you, call the Hilbert Law Group to address your concerns. Call our office toll free at 1-877-999-1200, to schedule your free initial consultation.

ANIMAL BITE / INJURY LAW


Florida law can be very favorable to individuals hurt by animals. Although dog bites are the most common, other animal related injuries are recoverable. Recovery is controlled by statute and applicable case law. The Center for Disease Control reports that approximately 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year. Any injury caused by an animal may be the subject matter of a recovery. Such injuries in Mr. Hilbert’s experience include wrongful death by a charging animal, serious lower extremity injury by a charging dog, along with numerous animal bites involving multiple plastic surgeries and facial reconstructions. Because some of the legislation is relatively new factors such as the age of the victim, type of animal and status of victim are of great importance. The insurance companies have expertly trained adjusters and attorneys, who will immediately seek to speak with you and extract or at times misconstrue what happened. Our staff has extensive experience with these matters, including dogs, livestock and non-traditional pets, such as Cougars, Leopards and even zoo animals, such as Elephants. If you are the victim of any type of animal injury, before you talk to anyone, call the Hilbert Law Group for your free consultation at 1-877-999-1200, to protect your rights and those of your loved ones.
