Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Re: How may i obtain cell phone number and calls from a particul;ar individual i

It appears you were the driver of the automobile that struck the bike rider. If you have insurance, immediately notify your insurance carrier so the carrier can appoint defense attorneys to represent your interests. In order to get the cell phone records you seek, a lawsuit will have to be filed, discovery methods will be undertaken by your lawyers, and a subpoena will be sent to the cell phone company once the lawyers discover the identity of the company and the correct cell phone number.

Investigators can sometimes obtain these types of records even if no lawsuit arises. Regardless, you need an attorney and if you're insured at the time of the accident, the insurance company should appoint one on your behalf. Good luck.

You may hire an investigator to obtain the number and he may be able to surreptitiously obtain the record rather than awaiting a lawsuit where you can properly subpoena the records. I would not recommend that questionable procedure. It is not illegal to drive using a cell phone. More important is having a reporter at traffic court to record his sworn testimony, find out his policy limits and assets, and to monitor and document your injuries. Personal injury cases are far too complicated to be handled by an amatuer or to explain all the facets in one paragraph.

First you will have to file a lawsuit. Next, serve the driver with interrogatories and a request for production. Specifically address the cell phone issue. Once the company and telephone number is provided, then subpoena the telephone company's records.

You should schedule a formal consultation with a lawyer. A good means of obtaining an attorney referral is by contacting your State's bar association or your local county bar association. They probably have a web site and charge a nominal fee for the referral. Most attorneys either provide a free initial consultation, or charge a nominal fee.

After retaining an attorney a accident investigator will normally investigate and obtain necessary information. A.J. Comparetto, Esq.,727-328-7900 www.floridamalpracticelaw.com
