Seeking Compensation After A Motor Vehicle Accident

A motor vehicle accident can leave you with life-altering injuries that lead to loss of income, physical and expensive medical bills. We can help you seek full and fair seek compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, rehabilitation and more, stemming from:

• Car crashes caused by driver negligence, including distracted driving, drunk driving and more
• Ridesharing accidents and injuries (Uber, Lyft and others)
• Devastating truck and commercial vehicle accidents involving 18-wheelers, delivery trucks and other giant vehicles
• Injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists
• Motorcycle accident claims involving catastrophic injuries or death
• Public transportation accidents involving buses, trains, etc.

Florida is one of only about a dozen states with no-fault auto insurance system. This makes pursuing a personal injury claim more complex, which is another reason why it is important to work with a knowledgeable attorney.

Were You Injured Due To Dangerous Conditions On Private Property?

Property owners – whether commercial or residential property – have a responsibility to ensure that their premises are reasonably safe for guests and visitors.

When a property owner knows about a hazardous condition but fails to remedy it or to warn visitors, injured parties can pursue what’s known as a premises liability claim. Some common examples are described below.

Slip-and-falls – A slip-and-fall accident occurs when you had an incident that caused you to fall and injure yourself due to the direct negligence of another party. The slip-and-fall accident happened not because you were not paying attention or distracted, but because a negligent property owner who knew better – or should have known better – refused to remedy, fix or address a hazard, leaving you and others at risk of severe injury. Our legal team can help you recover compensation for your slip-and-fall injuries and other damages.

Animal bites – These lawsuits involve a negligent pet owner failing to take measures to keep their pet, such as a dog, from harming a person resulting in injury or worse. Animal bites can leave the victim with a lot of medical bills they can’t afford, loss of income and in some cases, permanent disfigurement. These attacks often occur on the animal owner’s property, but you can pursue a claim even if the attack happened elsewhere.

Burn and fire injuries – We can help you in the event you have suffered a burn or fire injury. Types of burn and fire injuries include apartment fires, workplace injuries and burns, motor vehicle accidents, electrical fires, overly heated water and recreational fires. A burn or fire injury can leave you with physical and emotional pain and scars. While these are not always litigated as premises liability cases, you would likely have a premises liability claim if you suffered a burn injury on another’s property.

Negligent security – Shops and stores, recreational locations, sporting venues, concerts and parking garages are required to have certain security measures in place to deter criminals and prevent accidents. Inadequate or negligent security practices that result in injury or death empower victims or their surviving loved ones to pursue a lawsuit. Some of the most important factors in a negligent security lawsuit include determining how likely or preventable the incident or accident was, and demonstrating that the property owner failed to provide reasonable security practices despite having the means and opportunity to do so.

Civil Remedies For Criminal Acts

Those who commit crimes of violence or crimes that result in injury to another can and should face criminal charges. However, victims can also seek compensation in separate civil lawsuit.

A notable example is sexual battery and/or assault cases, which occur when a person willingly threatens another with physical harm or violence or when unlawful physical contact takes place resulting in injury. Sexual battery and assault victims often suffer major psychological injuries on top of any physical injuries. These cases can often leave the victim unable to work, with permanent disfigurements and with piling medical expenses.

If you were the victim of physical or sexual violence, we want to advocate aggressively for you in the civil justice system.

Injuries And Deaths From Physician And Hospital Negligence

You place a lot of trust in your medical care providers, from your primary care physicians and surgeons to the nurses and other medical professionals in charge of making you better and looking out for your health.

Unfortunately, sometimes these medical professionals are negligent in their care, and sometimes their actions or lack of action causes you harm. A Johns Hopkins study found that medical errors and malpractice are the third-leading cause of death in the U.S., resulting in over 250,000 deaths each year.

Medical malpractice litigation is complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive, but this should not dissuade you from exploring your options if you believe you’ve been harmed due to medical negligence.
