How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Personal Injury Case?

Under Florida law, a personal injury occurs when someone is hurt because another party acted negligently or intentionally harmed them. What this means is that you likely have a case if your injuries occurred because of someone else’s carelessness or recklessness.

While the best way to learn if you have a case is to speak with an attorney from our team, you may have a valid claim if:

• The other party owed you a duty of care and breached it.
• Your injury caused you to incur medical bills, lost income, and other damages.
• There is evidence to show who is legally responsible.

Some ways negligence causes injuries include:

• Car Accidents: When a negligent driver causes serious injuries, you can file a claim with your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy or pursue a case against them outside of Florida’s no-fault system. We can also help with pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents.
• Truck Collisions: It is often possible to hold a trucking company accountable when its truck driver causes an injury accident.
• Motorcycle Crashes: Drivers often overlook motorcyclists or make mistakes that cause collisions and serious injuries.
• Dog Bite Injuries: Florida law makes dog owners liable for injuries caused by their pets under most circumstances. This means you can hold an owner liable for dog bite damages.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners and operators are responsible for injuries that occur because of unreasonable hazards on their property. These cases fall under Florida’s premises liability laws.
• Workplace Injuries: In addition to recovering workers’ compensation benefits, injured workers can sometimes hold a negligent third party liable for their injuries and damages.

How Our Team of Lawyers Builds a Convincing Case for Fair Compensation

When we represent you in a personal injury case, we will need to investigate what happened and gather evidence to document negligence, liability, and damages. The evidence could include:

• Official reports
• Photos of the accident and injuries
• Eyewitness statements
• Expert witness testimony
• Surveillance, dashcam, or traffic camera footage

Alongside the investigation, you can count on our team to:

• Handle communication with insurance companies
• Negotiate settlements on your behalf
• File and manage all legal paperwork, including a personal injury lawsuit, if necessary
• Represent you to the other involved parties
• Protect your interests throughout the process
• Work to maximize your compensation

What Types of Damages Can an Attorney Recover for Me in an Ojus Injury Case?

The damages available for recovery in a personal injury case will depend on the expenses and losses the victim experienced. This makes each case unique. Even when two victims suffer similar injuries, their payouts could be dramatically different. This is because each case is based on its own merits and damages, as well as other factors, such as the aggressive way we negotiate a settlement.

Some of the types of damages our attorney may pursue in your case include:

• Medical expenses, including estimated future care needs
• Lost wages and other lost income
• Loss of earning ability and future income
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Other intangible losses
• Funeral expenses and other wrongful death damages, if the victim passes away

Why Is It Important to Contact Our Team as Soon as Possible After Your Injury?

There are several critical reasons why you want an attorney on your side as quickly as possible after an injury. This includes:

Preserving Evidence

Critical evidence, such as skid marks, video, and witness recollections, is often lost. Our attorneys will act promptly to gather and preserve this evidence, strengthening your case.

Protection from the Insurance Companies

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts by offering lowball settlements or requesting recorded statements they could use against you. Early legal representation ensures your rights remain protected.

Meeting All Applicable Deadlines

Florida has strict deadlines for filing lawsuits. Our lawyers help you navigate these timelines, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is filed correctly and on time. Generally, Fla. Stat. § 95.11 gives victims two years to sue.
