PERSONAL INJURY DEFENSE
Our firm handles a unique kind of case in that we represent individuals and companies who have been sued as a result of an accident. The most common type of personal injury defense case is motor vehicle accidents. When you file a personal injury claim, it is your burden to prove that the other party caused the accident, your treatment is related to injuries sustained in the accident, and, in some cases, that you have a permanent injury. As your defense counsel, we will investigate the injured party’s claim and require that they prove each element of their case. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as you are aware that a lawsuit has been filed because there are very important deadlines that you must meet. At our firm, you will have access to the attorneys in every stage of the case—from filing initial pleadings to going to trial.
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
In 2015, there were nearly 375,000 motor vehicle accidents in the state of Florida, accounting for nearly 250,000 injuries. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, it can be an extremely stressful and confusing time. Our firm can reduce your stress during the process and allow you to concentrate on recovering from your injuries. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident due to the carelessness or negligence of another driver, Florida law allows you to be compensated for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and, in some cases, pain and suffering. Our firm has experience with working with insurance companies to receive the highest possible settlement or verdict amounts for our clients. We also have experience getting compensation for damages that are a little more difficult to determine, such as pain and suffering.
