Weinstein Law — 2009-09-24T00:00:00+01:00

Coral Springs, FL. – Attorney Andrew Weinstein, managing partner and founder of the Weinstein Law Firm, recently presented at the Florida Justice Association’s Auto Negligence Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Seminar. Andrew’s presentation, "Personal Injury Protection- Where are we now?" focused on current developments in Florida's Personal Injury Protection insurance law including the use of the Medicare fee schedule and the debate over whether it is mandatory or voluntary for insurers to pay claims pursuant to it.

"With the recent changes in the law, PIP claims made by doctors, chiropractors and other health care professionals are coming under more scrutiny and as a result insurance company practices also need to be examined more closely in an effort to stop the denial of legitimate claims," said Andrew.

Andrew also discussed the recent decisions from the Third District Court of Appeal regarding peer review reports and the impact those cases have had on both PIP and bodily injury claims, along with tips and ideas for bodily injury practitioners when dealing with a client’s PIP claim.

Attorney Andrew Weinstein a Noted Speaker at the Florida Justice Associations Insurance Seminar

Weinstein Law — 2008-10-30T00:00:00+01:00

Coral Springs, FL - Attorney Andrew Weinstein, managing partner of the Weinstein Law Firm, recently presented at a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar to members of the Florida Justice Association (FJA). Andrew's presentation, "The Rules of Engagement - Personal Injury Protection" focuses on how health care professionals can successfully fight the insurance giants' denial of PIP claims.

In this seminar, Andrew outlines what health care professionals and their counsel should do before filing suit against the insurance companies and steps for filing suit. He offers an understanding of typical insurance company defense tactics. Citing case law, precedent and his own personal experience, Andrew provides guidance on how to defend against these tactics.

"Far too often, insurance companies are delaying or outright denying legitimate PIP claims filed by doctors, chiropractors and other health care professionals," Andrew said. "Rather than do what's right, the insurance companies are looking for any reason to deny these claims in an effort to save their own bottom line. This has got to stop."

The CLE is available for FJA members in audio and video formats at www.floridajusticeassociation.org.

The Weinstein Law Firm is a full service health care litigation firm having represented health care professionals in thousands of PIP claim issues. The firm offers a no-cost review of PIP claims and can be reached at (954) 757-7500.

Jury Verdict in Auto Accident Trial Upheld by Court of Appeals; Young Woman Awarded $1.1 M in Damages

Weinstein Law — 2008-09-15T08:57:02+01:00

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.- The Fourth District Court of Appeals on Wednesday ruled in favor of Amanda Graham, awarding her more than $1.1 million and affirming the first ruling of the lower court, the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County. The original verdict of $981,343.93 was awarded after a jury trial in July 2007, which was presided over by the Honorable Ronald J. Rothschild. Taxable costs and interest were added to the total.

“We are pleased that the Court of Appeals upheld the juries verdict,” said Ms. Graham’s attorney, Andrew Weinstein of the Weinstein Law Firm. “Amanda has her entire life ahead of her, and the negligence of the defendants has taken away much of her freedom and ability to lead the life she wanted.”

Amanda suffered severe injuries when the defendant made a reckless U-turn on Sample Road near the intersection of Northwest 108th Street in Margate on September 21, 2004, and struck Amanda’s car. She was taken to the hospital where she required immediate surgery on her right hand and wrist, which is her dominant hand.

Amanda was 24 at the time of the accident and had just started a promising career as a mortgage consultant, although she had not been employed with the company long enough to qualify for health benefits. After the accident, her injuries prevented her from working, and the debt from her medical bills was quickly adding up. She was forced to leave her home in Florida and relocate to Ohio to live with her family, who could help support her.

Since the accident, her injuries have required her to undergo two additional surgeries, although the procedures did not fully eliminate the pain or problems. Amanda continues to suffer constant pain and diminished use of her hand.

“Amanda, now 29, has suffered greatly from this accident. Her earning potential has been dramatically reduced, and she will live with the effects of the accident for years to come. It is an unfortunate circumstance, but the fact that the court upheld the original verdict proves there is justice – it will assist Amanda in living a healthy and productive life,” Mr. Weinstein explained.

The defendants appealed the verdict shortly after the trial last summer. Mr. Weinstein and appellate attorney Julie Littky-Rubin handled the appeal.

Attorney Andrew Weinstein is the founder of the Weinstein Law Firm, a personal injury law firm located in Coral Springs, Florida. The firm represents those injured due to Auto Accidents and handles other type s of Personal Injury cases throughout South Florida communities including Coral Springs, Boca Raton and surrounding areas.

Coral Springs, FL – Andrew J. Weinstein, managing partner and founder of the Weinstein Law Firm, was recently elected to the position of Precinct Committeeman for Precinct E018 in Broward County, Florida. The 2008 Primary Elections were held on August 26th, at which time local voters directly elected Weinstein for this position.

Precinct Committeemen play a vital role in supporting and promoting their party in their local precincts. Duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to: recruiting precinct volunteers; encouraging community residents to vote; endorsing specific candidates; distributing election information and candidate literature to local residents; and updating voter records.

Andrew Weinstein has played an active role in the political community for more than a decade as both an advocate of pro-consumer legislation and as a fundraiser for both local and national political candidates. In addition to being active in politics, he also supports several community and charitable organizations.

“I believe that it is every citizen’s duty to learn about their candidates and the political process, and that by working at a grass roots level – we can effectively influence the quality of leadership representing us in our local, state and national government,” Weinstein stated.

He goes on to explain that the very same qualities he applies to his law practice – integrity, dedication, and meticulous examination of detail – lend themselves well to his political position.

Of the three candidates for Precinct Committeeman in his Precinct, Weinstein received the largest percentage of votes. His position officially begins in November upon the completion of the General Election, and he will hold this office for four years.
