Injuries from Negligence
There are an endless number of ways a personal injury can occur. We represent victims who have been injured in all types of situations, including, but not limited to:
Although every claim is different, our West Palm Beach personal injury lawyers approach each case with the same focus and determination, and always with the best interests of our clients in mind.
We take care to investigate every claim to determine if you have a case and how we can build the strongest lawsuit on your behalf. We make sure that every case has three critical elements required for a successful personal injury claim:
- Another person or company had a duty to exercise reasonable care and not cause you harm
- That person was negligent and failed to exercise reasonable care
- That negligence caused you injury
With years of experience securing millions of dollars in compensation for our clients, we fight for the maximum level of compensation in every injury case we represent. That can include compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.
Were You Partially Responsible for Your Injury?
Fortunately, Florida law allows those partially at fault to still pursue legal action. However, there may be limits to the amount of compensation you can recover from a lawsuit, if you were partially to blame for the accident.
Under Florida Statute 768.81, also known as the comparative negligence rule, the amount of compensation that an injury victim can recover will be affected by the percentage of fault they had in causing their injuries.
Having our experienced West Palm Beach personal injury lawyers on your side will provide you with the legal representation you need, so you can recover the maximum compensation you deserve.
What is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Compensation from a personal injury lawsuit will vary depending on the circumstances of your accident and your injuries. In general, it is possible to recover compensation that includes:
You may be able recover reimbursement for reasonable medical expenses and treatment directly related to your injuries. This includes past, present and future medical care.
If you are not able to work because of any injury, you may be able to recover compensation for the wages that you have lost. Your employer may need to verify your normal rate of pay and the total number of hours and compensation you lost.
If your injury decreases your ability to earn income, you may be able to recover compensation for the wages you will lose in the future because of your inability to work.
If you have lost a loved one due to another’s negligence, you could recover reimbursement for reasonable expenses associated with the funeral and burial of the deceased.
Although difficult to calculate and document, you may be able to recover compensation for the physical pain and discomfort you experienced at the time of the accident, in the days since the accident and in the coming future. This also includes the inconvenience, anguish and emotional trauma that is associated with your injury.
You may be able to recover compensation if your injury significantly alters your lifestyle and prevents you from being able to participate in the activities or pleasures of life that you previously enjoyed.
If you suffered a permanent injury that caused a severe physical impairment or disability, it may be possible to recover additional compensation.
A surviving spouse or family member may be able to recover compensation that attempts to make up for lost love, companionship, affection and comfort. These damages are only awarded in cases involving a severe and enduring injury or death.
There are, however, several restrictions on the compensation that is recoverable from a lawsuit. For instance, car accident victims can only file a lawsuit to recover damages not covered by insurance if they suffered permanent injuries. Additionally, damages caps limit the amount of noneconomic damages that can be recovered in a medical malpractice lawsuit.
