Do You Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?
Florida personal injury law establishes the legal rights of victims injured in accidents caused by someone else’s negligence. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help defend your interests in pursuing fair compensation for your injuries and other losses.
In auto accidents and other types of accidents caused by negligence, such as nursing home negligence or negligent security, accident victims can file personal injury claims with the help of legal counsel. An attorney can hold the manufacturer strictly liable for damages when serious injuries are sustained because of product defects. Suppose you were injured in a premises liability case, such as a slip and fall accident. In that case, your attorney will seek to hold the property owner liable for damages.
To ensure that you have a valid personal injury claim, please contact our law firm to discuss the facts of your case.

Can a Personal Injury Attorney Assist You
with Wrongful Death Claims?
If you have tragically lost a loved one in an accident or act of violence, we offer our sincerest condolences to you and your family. Few things are as difficult as the sudden loss of a loved one in an incident that should have been preventable.
As your legal representative, our attorney will seek to hold the at-fault parties accountable for their actions or inactions so that you can receive the financial recovery you and your family members deserve. While no monetary compensation can ever truly undo the damage done and return your lost loved ones to you, the hope is to make you more financially whole again and ease the burden of medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Wrongful death claims in Florida are based on specific state laws. In Florida, a wrongful death claim can only be brought by the personal representative of the decedent’s estate and on behalf of the surviving family members. If the deceased left behind a will, the individual or entity will be named as the personal presentative of the estate. If no will exists, a judge will appoint the personal representative.
Contact our law firm to discuss taking legal action against the liable parties for your loved one’s tragic passing.
