Personal Injury Attorneys

If your injury was caused by another person or company, then you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover your losses.

In Florida, personal injury cases are often based on a theory of negligence, which is the failure to use the care that a reasonable person would in a similar situation. If you can prove that another person acted with negligence, then you will be able to seek money for your property damage, lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.

If you have been hurt in a collision, our car accident attorneys will take on insurance companies to get you the money that you deserve. We know that being in a crash can be scary and that you may already be overwhelmed with stress, lost wages, bills, and more. We will work with you to help you get the money that you need for your injuries.

Studies show that people who are represented by counsel recover substantially more compensation than those who represent themselves in personal injury cases. If you have been hurt in a car accident, don’t hesitate to call.

Our nursing home abuse attorneys will work with you to hold the facility accountable – and can even help you report the abuse or neglect to the proper authorities. Together, we can seek justice for your loved one.

In a nursing home abuse case, you can recover financial compensation for your loved one’s injuries. This can include money for things like medical treatment, moving expenses to get to a new facility, and any property that was damaged or stolen. You can also seek compensation for intangible losses, like emotional distress, pain, and suffering.

Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical negligence is different from negligence in other types of personal injury cases. In medical malpractice cases, you have to prove that a healthcare professional did not use the level of care that a medical provider with similar education and experience would use. 

Our medical malpractice lawyers understand how to get results for our clients. If you or a family member has been injured as a result of medical negligence, reach out to schedule a free consultation with our law offices.

How Do You Find the Best Personal Injury Lawyer?

When you need the best personal injury lawyer in Florida, look for these key attributes:

Personal Injury Experience. Choose a lawyer who focuses exclusively on personal injury law.

Independent Verification. Look at independent rating systems to confirm the firm’s reputation.

Endorsements from Other Clients. Client and peer reviews matter! Always check to see what people are saying.

Trial Experience. Insurance companies know which lawyers take cases to trial. If your attorney lacks trial experience, you may not receive the full value of what you are owed.

How Can a Florida Personal Injury Attorney Help Me?

We understand that you are likely in pain and trying to heal from your injuries, which is why our team of committed legal professionals are here to take the burden off your shoulders and guide you through the complex process of filing a personal injury claim. Here are a few specific ways we can help.

Establish Negligence and Liability

In every personal injury case, we must prove that the four elements of negligence exist:

  • Duty
  • Breach of duty
  • Causation
  • Damages

Our diligent attorneys must show that the at-fault party had a duty to conduct themselves—or maintain their property—with reasonable care. We must show that they breached that duty and that their breach of duty not only caused the accident but also injured you.
To prove these things, our proactive team of personal injury lawyers in Florida conduct a thorough investigation into the details of your case, gathering evidence like police reports, surveillance video or traffic camera footage, and medical records. We may also hire accident scene reconstruction experts to recreate the moments leading up to a collision in order to prove liability.

Calculate the Value of Your Case

Our attorneys will gather receipts, medical bills, and employment records that display lost wages to show the full extent of your financial losses. We will use these as well as your medical records and statements from your physicians to calculate the value of your case, including the cost of your pain and suffering. This will help us determine what a fair settlement in your case would look like.

Negotiate

By investigating your case and calculating your total losses, our skilled attorneys can build a strong case seeking damages to the fullest extent of your injuries. We will negotiate with a third-party insurer or the at-fault party’s lawyer to reach a fair settlement. If one cannot be reached, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial and fight for your rights at court.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost in Florida?

You may be wondering if you can afford to file a lawsuit. When you’re already struggling with medical bills and missing work, the last thing you have money for is a lawyer’s hourly rate. Our personal injury attorneys understand this, and that’s why we work on a contingency fee basis. You will pay us a percentage of your settlement only when, and if, we win your case.

What Damages Can a Legal Professional Recover After a Personal Injury?

While there is no way our team can estimate the damages you may recover without reviewing the details of your case, some common types of damages that victims have recovered in personal injury cases include:

    • Medical expenses, including ambulance rides, surgical procedures, anesthesia costs, doctor’s examinations, medication, and physical therapy costs
    • Out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident of duty
    • Lost wages from any time you have spent away from work due to your injury
    • Future wages if you cannot return to work for some time or your earning potential was affected by your accident
    • Pain and suffering, including emotional distress, disfigurement, or dismemberment.

If your loved one did not survive the accident or passed away later because of the severity of their injuries, a compassionate personal injury lawyer at our firm could help you file a wrongful death claim in Florida.

How Can Florida’s Statute of Limitations Impact Your Claim?

The Florida statute of limitations generally requires plaintiffs to file lawsuits for damages caused by personal injury accidents within two years of their injury. If you lost your loved one due to another’s negligence, you generally have two years from the date of their death to pursue damages.
