What is a personal injury in Florida?

Personal injury refers to when a person incurs physical, mental, or emotional injuries rather than injuries to their property. Property damage is only compensable in these situations if it involves personal bodily harm. Some examples of personal injury cases that our legal team handles include motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, pedestrian accidents, medical malpractice, injuries from faulty products, dog bites and animal attacks, construction accidents, work-related accidents, and poor road conditions. Through a personal injury claim or a lawsuit, you can legally demand the at-fault party pay for the losses you have suffered from the injury due to their reckless, negligent, or malicious acts. After a personal injury accident, victims are limited in time, knowledge, or energy to navigate through the complex legal proceedings governing a lawsuit. Having our Florida personal injury lawyer leading your case from start to finish ensures that you can devote your entire time to recovering from the accident. Any injury, from mild to severe to life-threatening, deserves compensation from the at-fault party. Accidents are unpredictable but usually preventable. When someone acts recklessly, their negligent behavior can cause personal injuries to innocent people.

Why should I hire a Florida personal injury attorney instead of handling the insurance company myself?

The impact of personal injury can cripple your physical and mental health. Even a non-life-threatening accident can leave psychological trauma that can take years to recover from. On top of that, you could face mounting medical bills that you were unprepared for. If you choose to hire our personal injury lawyers, we will handle the entire legal process related to retrieving compensation. We will first verify that you as the injured party have a legally valid case with a reasonable potential for compensation, then investigate your case in depth to identify evidence and the at-fault party. We will prove negligence by establishing its four elements: duty of care, meaning the at-fault party owed you a duty; breach of duty, such as a business owner failing to fix a broken step; causation, meaning the incident resulted from that breach; and losses, meaning you suffered harm from the accident. We collect photographs, video footage, witness testimonies, medical reports, medical bills and employment letters to support your losses. We calculate your case value, file a claim and demand letter with the at-fault party's insurance company, and negotiate with the insurer until fair compensation is reached. If the insurer will not agree to fair compensation, we move forward with a lawsuit and present your case in court.

How can a Ged Lawyers personal injury attorney in Florida recover your losses?

Since each case is unique, the exact damages available to you will depend on the facts of your case. In general, there are three categories of damages you may pursue. Economic damages entail financial losses such as past, present and future medical expenses, loss of past, current and future earnings, the cost of future medical care, and out-of-pocket expenses. Non-economic damages cover non-financial losses that are generally intangible, including pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium or companionship, loss of limb, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment. Punitive damages are an additional layer awarded in cases where the defendant's actions were significantly reckless or malicious; though rare, we can determine if punitive damages may apply in your case. Wrongful death damages may be available if your loved one was fatally injured because of the actions of a negligent party, and may include funeral costs, burial expenses, medical costs incurred before your loved one passed, loss of companionship, loss of income, loss of guidance, loss of inheritance, and pain and suffering.

How does a law firm determine how much compensation I am entitled to for my accident injuries?

Your potential compensation depends on the extent of your injuries and how they affect your life. A severe injury can have lifelong consequences. For example, you may face ongoing medical care bills if you suffer a permanent impairment after an accident, and you will want to make sure your potential compensation reflects this future loss. Just as there are a variety of accidents that may warrant a claim or legal action, there are various injuries that can occur, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, broken bones, internal bleeding, burns, loss of limbs, sprains, and whiplash. Make sure you see a doctor after your accident, since your attorneys can use your medical records to establish your current and future losses.

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Florida Pedestrian Accident Claim?

When a collision with a vehicle injures pedestrians, they have little protection and often end up with serious injuries that must be treated and that keep them out of the workplace. Deciding who is legally at fault can sometimes be difficult, particularly in cases involving more than a single party or if there is a question of fault. Prompt investigation is crucial to ensure the preservation of evidence and to ensure your right to seek compensation.
