Negligence Is the Basis for Most Injury Cases
Negligence is often the primary cause of most accidents and other mishaps that result in injuries. In general, individuals, businesses, organizations, and government entities are negligent when they fail to use reasonable care to protect you from injury.
The evidence you need to prove negligence depends on the circumstances in which you sustained your injuries. If they resulted from an auto accident, showing that a driver disobeyed a traffic law or that a car manufacturer produced an unsafe vehicle could prove negligence. If a medical error caused your injury, you must prove your health care provider did not meet the standard of care that other similarly credentialed local providers exercise.
Our Deltona personal injury attorneys could investigate the accident that caused your injuries to find evidence of negligence. We could identify the responsible parties and demand financial damages for those injuries. Our firm has an outstanding reputation and a record of success, having achieved numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts over the course of decades in handling complex litigation for clients injured in various types of incidents. For example, our firm secured a $1,275,000 recovery for the parents of a young adult tragically killed in an automobile accident.
What Is the Process for Pursuing an Injury Claim?
If another party’s negligence caused you to suffer losses, you are entitled to compensation. The responsible parties must reimburse your out-of-pocket expenses, including lost wages and future losses that can be predicted with reasonable certainty. You are also entitled to money to compensate for your physical pain, emotional anguish, and other impacts of your injury. These include scarring, disability, and the lost ability to enjoy life.
If our Deltona lawyers file an injury claim for compensation for your losses against the responsible party, negotiations may ensue. We could present evidence of the responsible party’s negligence and proof of your losses and possibly reach a fair settlement. If the responsible party makes an unfair offer, our attorneys could take your case to trial and fight hard for the compensation you deserve.
The statute of limitations can be an obstacle to seeking justice. Florida Statutes § 95.11 sets the time limits for bringing a lawsuit in most personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death actions at two years. Different time limits may apply when a child is the victim or the case involves a defective product, as well as in certain other circumstances. It is always advisable to consult a legal professional as quickly as possible after you sustain injuries.
