Accidents happen every day, but when they result from carelessness, negligence, or poor judgment, the individual or entity responsible should pay for the damage, not the victim. Ged Lawyers is here to hold liable parties accountable for the harm they cause.
Our North Lauderdale personal injury lawyer can file an insurance claim or personal injury claim for damages against the party that harmed you. You can explore your options and next steps during a free consultation.
Our North Lauderdale Personal Injury Attorney Will Fight for Your Recovery
Ged Lawyers has recovered millions of dollars for our clients in personal injury cases across Florida. We listen to their accounts of what happened to ensure we get every detail right when protecting their rights and interests and developing a strategy to recover their losses. If your injuries don’t allow you to investigate your case, or you’re unsure how much you could demand from a party that caused your losses, we can help. If insurance adjusters are trying to lowball you, let us deal with them for you.
We offer responsive services to our clients and will answer any questions you have. We’ll even come to you if you cannot travel to us. We also have a talented group of multilingual staff of attorneys if you want to correspond in another language. Once you become our client, we will:
- Manage your entire North Lauderdale case from start to finish
- Represent you in all communications with all parties involved in your case
- Investigate the situation, collecting case-supporting evidence (e.g., a police report, traffic camera footage, witness testimony, your medical records, etc.)
- Identify all liable parties that owe you compensation
- Assess your damages and assign a monetary value to your case
- Lead negotiations for favorable compensation that meets your needs
- Take your case to trial if we cannot settle outside of court
- Explain laws that affect your case and all case developments
- Regularly update you so that you understand your case’s status at all times
We Will Work on Your Case at No Upfront Cost or Fees
Sometimes your case will not be against an individual but a corporation or government entity. Ged Lawyers takes on legal challenges, no matter how big or small, as we are devoted to getting you the help you need and with no unnecessary obligation to you. If you are concerned about legal fees, you don’t have to pay us to work on your case. Our attorneys work on contingency, so we can cover your case’s costs up front. Our firm won’t collect any money from you unless we win your case.
Recoverable Damages in a North Lauderdale Personal Injury Case
Ged Lawyer’s years of experience in personal injury lawsuits have afforded us the knowledge and experience to recover a settlement that pays your economic (financial) and non-economic (non-financial) damages.
In a personal injury case, your damages depend heavily on key factors like the costs to treat your injuries and continued treatment, the effect on your income, pain and suffering, and property damage repairs, among others. Your compensation could cover:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation: These economic damages include emergency room costs, immediate treatment, and ongoing care for physical conditions. You could also claim your prescription medications, aftercare, and more.
- Income loss: You could seek compensation if an accident affected your ability to work and you lost hours. How much time you missed from work and how long it will be before you can return are all factors in determining how much you could recover for lost income.
- Pain and suffering: This category of damages covers physical and mental pain and suffering that impair one’s quality of life. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions are non-economic damages that can be part of your settlement.
- Property damage: Vehicular damage and personal property are among the damages the at-fault party will be liable to pay for in the event of an accident. The same can be said for damage caused in an establishment.
Wrongful Death Damages
If you lost a loved one to wrongful death in an accident in North Lauderdale, we are sorry for your loss. If someone else’s carelessness caused your loved one to suffer fatal injuries, our wrongful death attorney can file legal action against the liable party on your loved one’s behalf.
Parties in these cases can recover damages for the decedent’s medical bills, funeral and burial costs, lost income, and other end-of-life obligations. During a free consultation, we can explain how Florida laws govern wrongful death actions.
Ged Lawyers Will Help You File Your Personal Injury Case Within Florida’s Statute of Limitations
If you want to take legal action against a liable party in Florida, you have a set time to do it. Under HB 837/SB236, which went into effect on March 24, 2023, Florida’s statute of limitations law generally allows two years from the accident date to file a negligence-based lawsuit. Parties who want to file a wrongful death lawsuit also have two years from the decedent’s death date to file it, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).
Reach out to us as soon as possible to protect your right to sue. We can advise you of the potential time for your case. If the statute of limitations expires, you risk losing your right to seek legal action against the liable party for your damages.
