Frederick J. Sette

For the last two decades, my legal practice has been dedicated solely to representing individuals who have suffered injuries from personal injury accidents. These accidents range from vehicular collisions to other types of incidents, including hazardous products or unsafe property conditions, i.e. trip and fall type cases. The damages I help address include medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering, both suffered to date and future damages.

• Free Consultation
  call me to talk about your case at no charge. If I can help we'll talk about a contingency fee agreement.
• Contingent Fees
  contingency is a fee that's conditional on there being a recovery. No recovery, no fee. Contingency amount is a percentage of the recovery and that percentage is negotiable.

Q. Does my boyfriend have a case?

September 3, 2024

A: And then there is the question of; is there any recourse for the car accident that resulted in his injuries. If you have not obtained a consultation on that, I suggest taking the time to do so. As stated by the other counsel, there are regulations and standards that the facility must comply with. Perhaps contacting an ombudsman would be appropriate as well. My suggestion is to contact a qualified attorney to inquiry into all possible lines of recourse.

Q. My wife was involved in a accident. 3 /23.waited for the police report and it determined that the other party was at fau

A: that, is an excellent question for your attorney. If you cannot maintain that basic level of communication with him/her, then I suggest having a meeting with said attorney to improve communication. Either it is a coverage issue, i.e. the carrier is claiming driver was excluded, thus the policy was not in effect, or they are contesting liability. Either way, you're going to need to work together with your counsel.

Q. Can I switch lawyers? (early in the case, claim has not been filed yet)

March 12, 2024

A: Maybe you should switch lawyers. Or maybe you shouldn't. Sometimes the client's lack of understanding of the process creates frustration. It is a slow, time consuming ordeal. But, other times the firm is just not responsive and not doing their job. Then it requires a change. Talk with a few attorneys to get the best understanding, then make a decision on who you trust and who you think would be the most accessible. And of course, who you think would do the best job.
