Hit By A Car While Visiting From Out Of State

We reside a long way outside of Florida, and when I was hit by a car while visiting Miami, I was told I needed to have an attorney from the area. As a retired veterinarian, I understood the details of my injuries better than most patients, but the legal and insurance issues were an entirely differ...ent matter. My case was lengthy and too complicated for us to proceed on our own. We needed an advocate who understood the legal process, various insurance concerns, and sensitive medical billing issues. I was surprised at the positive results Scott was able to achieve through his tireless advocacy and expertise. There was always plenty of communication and sharing of documents through email. I was also impressed that when I called, I almost always spoke directly to Scott Jontiff himself and if he was not available, he returned my calls promptly! However, we travel a lot in an RV and were thus not always accessible due to being away from phone and internet services. Scott and Carol were patient and kind while dealing with us and worked diligently to resolve any issues that arose while we were away on trips. As Scott said to me, “You focus on getting better and I'll take care of the case.” Thanks to Scott and Carol, we were able to do just that. If you have had the misfortune of being injured in some way, you have my sympathy, my best wishes for your recovery, and my sincere recommendation to give yourself every advantage by having Scott Jontiff handle your case.
